Description

You have been sent into a building infested with robots, and must do your best to clear it out. Each rooms has a number of walls through the middle, which restrict your movement. There will be a number of bad guys in the room - on early screens they may be immobile and not shoot at you, but after a few levels they become capable of shooting in multiple directions. You can shoot at them in 8 directions, but can't shoot diagonally while moving. There are gaps at the side of each room, through which you exit, before or after clearing the room (there is a bonus for clearance). You get an extra life every 2000 points.

Trivia

On thing that was truly amazing about the coin-op arcade version of Berzerk is that it had digitally recorded dialogue. There were 16 spoken words stored on a small microchip, and they were put together in sequences to create complete sentences such as "INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!" and "DESTROY THE HUMANOID!" This was technologically groundbreaking, but consider the cost. Almost a thousand dollars per word.
