Game looks really cool. I have a lot of nostalgia for the arcade game, I remember playing it with my dad, and the 2600 with my neighbor friend as a kid.
If the voice element was available bitd, kids would’ve cranked their T.V. volume all the way up! I can only imagine the ‘robot voice’, echoing all over the neighborhood, during the summer! Unfortunately, Atari cracked the 2600 voice kernel a bit too late!
Like you, I played the original to death. The robot shots are kind of musical, and these bots would just blindly decide to walk into the walls. I remember setting up a game with no Otto, where I'd get behind a barrier with one robot left. The lone bot would slowly approach the barrier, shooting. I noticed the robots were programmed so they could only move if not firing a shot, so when a bot was close enough to the barrier, with me right there on the other side, they'd be shooting nearly constantly. Watch the bot's rear foot, and you'd see it twitch. The bot keeps trying to move closer but was getting cut off as it was time to fire another shot. So if the bot is really close, he can't really move, just shoot.
@@thestreamer3513 Pitfall II contains a chip for the music and other stuff (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitfall_II:_Lost_Caverns). The emulator that the 'Atari 2600+' actually runs on is very capable of emulating said chip (I've been playing Pitfall II for ages on Stella), but it may have been disabled because of copyright issues. What baffles me is the added speech synthesis in this Berzerk version. I'd be surprised if it works on real, vintage, hardware. Wonder if anybody tried... Anyway, that the killer app doesn't work on this "hardware" (to me it's more of a vehicle for Stella) is a deal breaker and I think Atari might have made that a bit more clear. They are honest about the fact that a small number of games don't work on the 2600+, but Pitfall II is the ultimate game for it. Since most Atari fans know that it runs Stella, and fans know Stella is an immaculate piece of software, some of us boomers might be disappointed. Enjoy your Atari and thanks for the video! :)
Your off-screen camera setup makes the sprites glow - I think it makes this video even better!
This was my favourite game on the 2600 back in the 80s. Subscribed to you from this video

I'm playing this now on my 2600+ and loving it!!! Thanks, Willie!!!
Good video! I always liked Berzerk for the Atari 2600! This enhanced version is different! Nice!
No instructions? Man we lost Atari age for THIS?
Favourite 2600 game. Speech sounds are good too.
“Berzerk, berzerk, berzerk over you” here comes evil otto push the fire button in!

I so love this game when i was kid.

Ahhh that takes me back, was one of my favorites
Nice video! I love this game. :)
Dude I got that same knife from 1987, and it still works
I picked this one up at the Little Italy festival in Clinton Indiana back in 88 :P
I picked mine up from Times Square NYC along with some throwing stars

Love the original Game :)
That's a nice looking knife!
Great arcade game. This Atari 2600+ is excellent.
Been enjoying the 2600+ :)
Move it move it move it👌
Does it have 2players co-op?
Wonderful!
Do you know if 2600+ can play both, NTSC & PAL, cartridges?
From what I have read on Atariage, yes
It is missing the intruder alert voice sample.
Cool i gotbthis as well
Can this play on the Colecovision module 1?
it should work
Coin detected in pocket
Berzerk should crossover with Berserk.
The robots in 'Berzerk' can talk now, but the 2600+ can't play 'Pitfall II'?
It's because pitfall 2 is hard to emulate dumping roms straight from the cartridge due to how advanced it is

It can now!
@@DaveMoorland-zv3tn ? What do you mean. Can the 2600+ play Pitfall II?
Atari milks the customer 😕
You gotta learn to move your guy around.
