Publication date: 1984

Language: English

Variant of Berzerk

You're probably saying "But what the HELL is Berzap!" Glad you asked.
The Scenario: This game takes place some time in the future. You've been
training in COMSI (the Conspiracy Of Mindless Saboteurs, Inc.) for several
years. You have just been handed your toughest assignment to date. Your
instructors have dropped you at the headquarters of a huge alien mega-
corporation, weaponless (except, of course, your trusty Kill-O-Zap particle
beam weapon, which you never go ANYWHERE without). Your Mission: Escape,
preferably alive. To escape, you will have to pass through the vast maze of
workstations, past incredible numbers of deadly Biz-Ad robots, and up to the
fifteenth-floor spaceport. As you climb higher up in the building, not to
mention the corporate ladder, you'll find that the low-level Biz-Ads are
replaced by the well-armed Yes-Men, and finally by the extremely dangerous
Executive-Secretaries. On your way up you will also have to make it past
the Junior-Executive-Pool, where great lines of Junior-Executives march back
and forth.

Subject: some info about this

Hi. I'm the guy who wrote Berzap! back in 1983-84.

I just want to point out that this 'cracked' version isn't the full game; it's an edited titlescreen attached to an abridged (and non-copyprotected) demo that I sent out for review to one of the Apple game magazines that existed at the time.

The full game had 5-6 increasing levels of difficulty with the 'fat' robots, then the space invaders level, and then 5-6 levels of increasing difficulty with the tall/thin robots, and then the spaceship launch.

This demo version is cut down so even the most inept reviewer could "see all there is to see" in a few minutes.

There exists (somewhere) a shareware release of the full game, complete with a suggestion to send some money to my ancestoral homeland on the first screen. It'd be great to see *that* one stuck up here in this archive, instead of this broken version. Unfortunately, I don't have a working Apple II system to even see if my disks are still readable.
