Cool. Let me know when you stream again, I'd love to watch a good Berzerk player play for reference.

I might be playing tonight but I don't know about the good player thought ;), I'm decent at best, and this is slow bullets Berzerk not fast bullets which really is a completely different game! But yeah I'll post in this thread again if I start playing tonight!
 
Hahah wow well that stinks. I just logged off as well. Played about 2 hours! Going to bed!

The link from the forum didn't work, but your stream was up. I watched it for like an hour.

Much appreciated! I think I have the link working correctly now in the first post I'll double check it before I play tonight. I only played 4 games but I had 2 good games and two ok games. On one game I had to just kill my self really quickly to go see why my son had woken up crying, but it was all good.

Hah, if you can get past 8000 points, you're a 'good' player compared to me ;)

The first time I played Berzerk on an arcade machine I think my score was 780 points. It was the night I bought the machine and I think I played for like 2 ~ 3 hours before I finally was able to break 2,000 points.

Its just practice and learning all the safe spots on every maze. I'm played the game alot, not really sure how much, I'm curious to look at the log on my slow bullets machine, it would be interesting to see!
 
I hope to get back into scoring better at Berzerk (fast bullet ver.) soon. Surgery, a convention, and too many other distractions kept me away, and I just got a Braze Multipede kit yesterday, so I'm going to be hammering on Centipede for a while first. Berzerk will come back into my focus soon though, as I absolutely love that game.

I just got another Wico that I need to install on my fast bullets Berzerk which is one of the reasons why I haven't been playing it recently, I know absolutely detest the x-arcade joystick I stuck in the machine.
 
replying so i can get an update when you play again. would love to watch.

i got up to about 9k before i quit playing fast bullets due to other things going on.

the game seems to be about your actions in the first fraction of a second as the wave starts. there were a couple screens i couldn't quite figure out what the safe path was.

would love to get some tips from watching you.....

I think I have an old Wico in mine, but it doesn't center (possibly missing the centering grommet/actuator?) Not sure. I can still play the game fine, but I wonder if I had a better stick that my accuracy would improve.

Sure! Again I'm playing primarily slow bullets right now so it's more about avoiding Otto than the robots themselves. I can get to 12 ~ 14 in fast bullets but I've never tried playing it with a Wico joystick.

But if after a couple of games, people want to watch some fast bullets I can change the boards in about 3 minutes, and be playing fast bullets.

Night and day difference for me. When I first started playing slow bullets Berzerk I was using an x-arcade joystick but I finally got around to fixing one of my Wico's. With the x-arcade I think I got like 21,XXX which was huge for me at the time, after 2 days with the Wico I was scoring in the 30K ~ 35K with the Wico.

I find because of the way the x-arcade is setup you get like a 1 millisecond delay in movement compared to the Wico.

I played Frenzy last night with the Wico, I just put the ZPU-1001 in my machine, previously with an x-arcade my high score was 10,880 I think, last night with the Wico I got 16,850 on my second game.

Maybe its just in my head, but my reaction time seems much better with the Wico as I don't have to throw the joystick as far to get movement.
