[0;1;4mWhat is it?[0m

Zerberk is inspired from the arcade game "Berzerk". The object of the game
seems quite simple: Destroying all Centurion Robots and Elexerion Robots in
an electricity maze and finally destroying the Neuronic. Every time a
Neuronic is killed the robot speed increases!

[0;1mThe electricity maze: [0mDon't leave a room before all robots are destroyed, or
you will enter the same level again. All walls are deadly. Keep distance!

[0;1mCenturions: [0mNormally they're standing around and are doing nothing... But if
they [0mscan an intruder, Centurions will decrease distance or fire a deadly
energy shot. Keep distance and fire diagonally!

[0;1mElexerions: [0mThey are not moving around, but watch their energy beam!

[0;1mOtto: [0mAppears if you stay too long in a maze room. Don't try to fire at him,
your only chance is to escape. Try to flee to the left or right!

[0;1mThe neuronic: [0mThe brain of all robots. Totally harmless, but guarded by
Elexerions.

[0;1mMystery: [0mDon't touch!

Be carefull in multi-player mode:

  · Don't shoot your partners at the beginning of a level!
  · All players must use the same exit!
  · The player in shortest range of the destroyed robot gets the score!


[0;1;4mFeatures:[0m

  · [0;1mUp to four player simultanous game! [0m(Supports the four player joystick
    adapter for the parallel port, so be sure that you are not currently
    using your parallel printer, if you select more than one player: the
    output may get scrambled.)
  · [0;1mSoft stereo! [0m(Uses one left and one right channel for each sample. A
    sound gets different volumes at the two channels - depending at the
    horizontal position of the sound causing object.)

[0;1;4mHistory:[0m

[0;1mV1.2:[0m (17.May.1993)
  · Uses topaz.font 8 now. So there are no longer problems with non 8x8
    system default fonts.
  · Can open a NTSC screen. On some (NTSC?) machines seems to be a strange
    bug, so that some lines disappear. Double-click the NTSC icon to start
    Zerberk in NTSC mode or if you use the CLI, type: Zerberk NTSC
  · Recompiled with small data model and without stack check. Should run a
    bit faster now.

[0;1mV1.1:[0m (26.Apr.1993)
  · Runtime error fixed! (oops)

[0;1mV1.0:[0m (19.Apr.1993)
  · First public release.


[0;3mIf all this is possible, where is the magic?[0m

Suggestions? Bug-reports? Other good old games? Let me hear!!!
