Berzerk is an action-packed shoot 'em up video game for the Atari 2600 developed by Stern Electronics and published by Atari under the Picture Tele-Games label. Originally released in 1982, players navigate a humanoid character through a maze-like series of rooms filled with robot enemies. The objective is to destroy the robots while avoiding their fire and the electrified walls of the maze. The game is notorious for featuring Evil Otto, a bouncing smiley face that is invulnerable and relentlessly chases the player. Berzerk's compelling and challenging gameplay has cemented its status as a classic of the arcade era.
