I don't know how I compare with the rest of the world, but my max score was 26,000 points. Is this good?

[glitchtoast]

that depends on :) what game type did you play? no.1 or no. 9 or ? :P

[DRIVERX51]

@glitchtoast

I am almost sure there is more than 9... would have to check

[glitchtoast]

@DRIVERX51 o yeah there is, I believe its like 12 or so ?

Voice over aside, this was an unusually good arcade port by VCS/2600 standards. Lots of late summer afternoons after I got home from day camp ...

This game actually killed somebody. In 1981 a Jeff Dailey died from a heart attack, after playing Bezerk.

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Got the Humanoid".

Only in this version you have to make your own synthesized taunts yourself as you play.

Yes, I was just thinking of being a teenager and visiting the closest thing us kids had to an arcade back then in Tehachapi and that was the bowling alley where I'd play this with my best girl Carol Parker ;-] Good times!

When I think of bowling alleys and videogames, I think of two games: Crazy Climber and Space Wars. I was obsessed with Crazy Climber, how many hundreds of dollars of quarter I sank into it trying to climb buildings I don't want to think about. And Space Wars was the most fun you could have with two people in front of one cabinet.
