Sterling work, sirs.

And fantastic cover art on last month's podcast. You put Bernie Clifton to shame!

Frenzy was a nice pick. I don't think I ever saw that one in an arcade bitd. But I did know its dad - Berzerk!

I
loved Berzerk, with it's manic, robotic speech, and simple - but brutal - game
mechanic. But in my humble opinion, Frenzy made some improvements: The
non-lethal, destructable walls are a big plus - as is the way you can
kill 'Otto'. But for the same reaons, its also quite a bit tougher.

In
the end, I found the process of going for a high-score to be a bit of grind. But maybe that's
'coz I was focussing on clearing each level for the bonus? Now I come
to think of it, it might have made more sense to bail out earlier a bit
more often. Oh well, here's my best score so far:

Thanks for the many, many mentions in this podcast guys

I'm liking Frenzy, but about ready for a new game now. Hopefully it will be one they have at Arcade Club Bury, so we can all have a match at the meet.
