DEBRO Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Has anyone seen more than 8 robots on the screen in Berzerk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowdoggie Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I've never counted them before, but after reading this I will probably instintively start counting everytime I get to a new screen. Look what you've done. What is Evil Otto? I hear he's the "merciless mind behind the robot gangs", but what is he supposed to be in physical form? My guess: He's the ball from "Wall Ball", but with a bad attitude. Opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 I think I've just confirmed it by looking at the code. There are no more than 8 RAM positions for the graphic table offsets. Thanks for reading though. I guess I should have done more research before posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he is a game manifestation of the evil ROVER weather balloon that chases down people who try to escape from your Village in the 1960's TV show The Prisoner. god I really need a Lotus Seven!

Vic George 2K3 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Evil Otto is the "have a nice day" Smiley Face put into the game by Alan MacNeil to give slow players "shock therapy" with a smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Evil Otto is that bastard smiley face from all the Mythicon games showing his true sinister nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Driver Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 After Berzerk and Frenzy, the smiley Otto formerly known as "Evil" found God, and renounced his sinister past. He's since gotten off of drugs, and picked up a job with Microsoft as a Minesweeper mascot. It's pretty inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Here's a question, Is there a way to make the maximum robot count increase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do know Toto the much nicer little brother of Evil Otto, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Here's a question, Is there a way to make the maximum robot count increase? Yes...ram would need a bit of editing, but it looks as if a few bytes are hardly touched. Rather than increase the number of robots, a better hack would be to allow robots to fire diagonally.
