 Fans of the original arcade game Berzerk fondly remember the speech featured in the game, with phrases like, "Chicken, Fight Like A Robot!" to taunt the player. Until now, the Atari 2600 port of this great arcade game lacked any speech whatsoever. Mike Mika has created a unique version of Berzerk for the 2600 that features the most voice ever on a 2600 cartridge, with the sayings, "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!, "Chicken, Fight Like A Robot", and "Humanoid Must Not Escape." Mike has also restored the original Arcade color scheme and reworked the artwork to more closely match the arcade original. This is a must have for any Berzerk fan and will be available at the AtariAge booth at CGE this upcoming weekend. Click here for a larger picture of the cartridge and manual.

In addition, the site now includes full-text articles from 35 issues of Creative Computing, a wonderful magazine that was enjoyed by computer enthusiasts for many platforms when it was published from 1974 until 1984. Due to the archive's new inclusion of non-Atari specific magazines, it has been renamed to the Classic Computer Magazine Archive. And don't forget to check out the full text of all 88 issues of Antic magazine while you're there!

 Dark Chambers is a game similar to Atari's coin-op Gauntlet, although a bit simpler in form for the 2600. Thanks to the work of Arlino Henrique, we have just put maps online of every Dark Chambers level (A - Z). In addition to the maps, Arlino also put together a collection of savegames from the beginning of each level (which you can use with the PC Atari Emulator), as well as a movie showing how he played through Level Z. All this Dark Chamber goodness is located here and if you need to find it later you can get to it from our Atari 2600 Archives page.
