Berks Trilogy

Arrghh! The Berks have arrived in force! Three action-packed arcade games from programmer Jon Williams.

The trilogy kicks off with a Berserk-style shootout. The Berks have arrived - protected by their faithful homing drones who cannot be killed, only stunned.

Your mission is to pilot your expanding Terror Tank and destroy each Berk-infested area. 32 screens of mindless destruction - great, isn't it?

In Berks II, subtitled Major Blink, you'll find yourself doing a bit of painting.

You have to guide Major Blink around various screens, filling in the squares with your paintbrush and avoiding the nasties. The further you get into the game, the more complicated it gets.

Berks 3 is perhaps the most complex of the three games. It's an arcade adventure style game with a good deal of zapping involved.

All the Berks games feature colourful graphics and good sound, but you really need a joystick to play them as the action gets fast and furious!
