Berserk looks great , does it get real hard ?

seen a bit of interest on Berzerk lately , i remember playing it , but cannot remember much .I want to add it to my Pcb collection , it`s time i got this cool game .
I know it`s an oldy , but does it desrve to join the group of must haves , based on getting harder and harder , [in other words , will it keep me entertained for years , trying to beat it ]

There ,,,,, re edited as it was meant to read !! [ i hate stupid Questions as well !! , ]

Of course its a classic! Only you can answer whether you like it or not though.
I still play it all the time.

Yes,....Yes its. And at a time like this, I am reminded of a quote from Mr. Garrison,"There are no stupid questions...Only stupid people. :)

But seriously, Berserk is a game I would love to have. Its just problematic to keep running. Fairly complex board set and wiring scheme. Perhaps some of the people with Multi Williams cabs can comment on how good it translates on the multiboard and if the voices are intact. Might be the easiest way to own one. Just turn off the rest of the games and stick it in the Berserk cab. Or leave them and have a multi Berzerk. Board also has Frenzy on it IIRC.
 
If you want DIFFICULT, Berzerk is DIFFICULT. The difficulty curves fast. You won't be seeing a kill screen soon :) It's a great game.
 
it's a classic but with any game even tho it's a classic and or rare if you don't get any joy from it. It's not worth sinking the money or time into the machine.

God i fell for that one , yes i know it`s a classic , that`s why i can still remember it after all these years , and i never really played it much ,

Besides the expected interest of the Question , the title sould have been , i want to buy Berserk , does it get hard enough ? , as some old classics dont .

example , Uniwars , Spiders , although Spiders doesnt get ultra hard , and keeps repeating , it sets it`s self up for a high score fest .

I have Ambush as well , not really sure if that`s a good game yet , i havent bothered giving it a long time chance .

I will re-edit that title , to read as it was meant to .

The game gets harder and harder until the enemies shoot orbs that move faster than you can even shoot, gang up on you and shoot at you all at once, and spawn around you from the start. If you get to the end of Berzerk or to a point where the boards repeat you aren't human. I'm pretty sure one ROMset is harder than the other though (in my experience at least) though they seem to catch up at some point.
 
It is HOF worthy.

That it is!
