Hello, I posted this on the Twin Galaxies forum and thought I'd ask here too, as the TG post has been too popular:
What is the best strategy for when one first enters a room in Berzerk? I play left-to-right, enter in the middle of the doorway, fire a horizontal shot as soon as I enter, then either (A): run vertically for cover if available, shooting robots in my way (B): get lucky and hide behind a wall in front of me, or (C): get shot if there is more than two robots in front or diagonal to me. I want to rectify situation C, but can think of no possible way to avoid it, though it must be possible as some of the high scores suggest otherwise. On average I score 15k, and when I get lucky with the rooms around 20-25k. My high score is a bit under 40k, (reeeeeealy lucky rooms), but I've never gotten close to that again. Once I survive the first few seconds of a room I very rarely die until the next, so I just need help with this part.
