Baby Berks

Once upon a time, Commodore User published a machine code listing of a game for the C16. Now it's on tape, so those laze people who wouldn't type it in can play it too.

As you may have guessed, this listing was called Baby Berks, and it's quite good. All you have to do is avoid the berks and shoot at their little babies. Nasty, eh?

No, because when they grow into big berks, they are mean and nasty so you must exterminate them quickly. You control a sort of 'X' shaped tank which can blast at an incredible rate, but the bullets only affect babies, not big berks.

There are sixteen different levels - but they look all the same to me. Gameplay is fairly slow and it's quite annoying when you run into a baby that has been shot - because they take a hell of a time to die!!

Baby Berks is fun to play, but I don't know how long it will hold you.
