Berks

The general trend in standards of C16 software seems to be on the up and Berks, I'm happy to report, is no exception.

The Berks - robots to you and me - are infesting your monitor screen. Destroy them using your 'terror tank'. Here you have one big advantage, Berks can't fire back, or perhaps they're just too stupid.

The Berks are protected by their faithful drones which follow you around the screen in an effort to entrap you. One touch and you're dead. If things get tricky, you can stun the drones by firing at them but, alas, they are immortal so only a temporary respite is gained. If you manage to destroy all the Berks before running out of energy or losing all five lives you get to have a bash at the next screen which is slightly more difficult.

If you're after arcade action you could do a lot worse than Berks.
