Atarifever Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Evil Otto or the bat from Adventure? Me, I hate the Bat more, but Otto does have the whole evil thing going for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma3a_operat0r Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 well, i think evil otto adds a great element to berzerk (faster pace, and makes it more frantic!), while the bat just adds frustration to adventure! sure, it needs to be there to add difficulty, but there's no getting around the fact that it's a pretty cheap way of making a game more difficult . so i hate the bat more, simply because i quite like otto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Evil Otto was nothing. I could turn him off with the flip of a difficulty switch. Besides, I was so smooooove at Berzerk, I could clear the room and be out the door before Otto would even pop in. The bat from Adventure couldn't be turned off with a difficulty switch. It was just a pain in the butt, that would rarely be useful. The bat's only worth having in the game when it picks up and hauls off a dragon that's bearing down on you.

You know, I think I was really petrified of the bat in my own way...I always did the "stuff him in the Gold Castle" trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcrowe Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The bat. At least Otto is up front about what he's up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The bat. He was constantly removing the chalice and replacing it without something else. I was so glad when I learned the "lock him" in the gold castle trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The bat. Otto's appearance is at least vaguely predictable...the fewer robots on the screen initially the faster he'll appear. The bat comes out of !^@%#$ nowhere and usually drops a dragon near me. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The Bat...He's like an Ebay sniper...just when you think you are about to win...he snipes the chalice from you! (and leaved the red dragon in its place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 What about that thing that comes in and gets you in Venture? I hate that thing! Berzerk Otto is not a problem for me. The Bat is an element of difficult randomness (That belongs to me .. not you Bat!). Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 What about that thing that comes in and gets you in Venture? I hate that thing! this is what i would vote for i used to play the colecovision version for days/hours at a time and each time that sound for that thing that comes after you always freaked me out and the bat just pissed me off most of the time otto is a puss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 What about that thing that comes in and gets you in Venture? I hate that thing! They're those guys that also nab you in the hallways. They must find out you're in the room or something. I get a chill up my spine when they appear in Venture too... Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 (I would normally do this in an edit) According to the Venture manual, they're Hallmonsters (kinda generic name, I guess). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Pitfall II needs for Pitfall Harry to have a gun so that we can get rid of the obstacles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 definately the bat, otto just kills you, but the bat steals from you which pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I can't say Otto ever gave me that much trouble, so I'd go with the bat... but imo the tiny saucer in Asteroids was so much more evil than either of them. You'll be sitting there doing fine and then all of a sudden it comes in, takes one shot and kills you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I have to concur with everyone, the bat can be very annoying and unpredictable, whereas you knew damn well that Mr. Otto was going to show up and make you rush out of the level Any Second Now. However, there is something about the grinning Evil Otto that I find rather amusing. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella'sGhost Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 When adventure came out there was nothing quite like it, so you can imagine my dismay when I thought I was doing good and suddenly out of nowhere this freaking bat comes and takes away the magnet! I was like, "what the!?" and i realized this wasn't going to be easy. As annoying as Otto was, I think the Bat was worse for making life miserable. Even though my tag reads, "long live Otto the 3rd."
