It says this is Berzerk on World of Spectrum but I think this is more Robotron, Cybotron, Robotron, get it? But whatever, it's not very good. I mean it's pretty fast but the constant sound that plays during the game will frankly make your head explode. Also the controls don't work properly at times, in one go the Z key for down didn't want to work but did so the next game, so that's the game's fault and not my keyboard. Level 4 is all I can manage in this. So this is pretty bad but it was an early game from Dominic Wood who went on to write better games on the Spectrum, so it's like they say, we all start somewhere.

Robotron was never a favorite of mine, too simple and repetitive to be coming back, but if I had come across this Dominic title, which is a clone with slight differences, I surely would have hated it even more. What a mess!
No firing key, that's OK, you fire while you move, but who are your enemies? Sometimes the game ends with several nasties still on screen, other times I lose even if I wiped them all out.
Confusing, too fast and with blocky movement, this was never meant to succeed.
