PrinceWatercress plays Berzerk (Atari 2600) - Part 2 of 13


Game 2 introduces Evil Otto, and his presence definitely changes the game both figuratively and literally.

First | Next | End

Game 2 introduces Evil Otto. Evil Otto is a bouncing smiley face that hunts you down from the starting point of the room and does not stop. In some modes, he can be shot down temporarily only to return; in others where he shows up, he is completely invincible. In Game 2, Evil Otto can be shot down, but he will quickly come back. This will make it harder to get the room clearing bonus everywhere you go, but at least you can temporarily stop him.

Evil Otto was named after Dave Nutting Associates employee Dave Otto, who smiled when he chewed people out, locked everyone out of the office to enforce an hour-long lunch break and piped muzak and easy listening music into every room in the office. I'm guessing Dave wasn't very well liked.
