About K-Razy Shoot-Out

K-Razy Shoot-Out is a clone of the arcade game Berzerk developed by K-Byte, a division of Kay Enterprises, and released for the Atari 8-bit family in 1981. The game was written by Torre Meeder and Dr. Keith Dreyer. An Atari 5200 version followed in 1983. The game is part of a series of titles with the "K-" prefix, including K-Razy Kritters and K-Star Patrol. All of them were published on cartridge. The K-Byte games were later published by CBS Software, including the Atari 5200 port of K-Razy Shoot-Out]

Atari 5200 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A CBS shooter from the 5200's third-party wave that is hard to find now and not well documented.

K-Razy Shoot-Out began as a K-Byte game for Atari computers. Wikipedia says an Atari 5200 version followed in 1983, and that after CBS Software bought K-Byte the 5200 port came out under the CBS brand. AtariAge credits Keith Dreyer and Torre Meeder as programmers of the cartridge.

CBS announced it in mid-1983 as one of five titles for the 5200, alongside Wizard of Wor, Gorf, Blueprint and Mountain King (Arcade Express, volume 1 issue 24). Computer Entertainer reviewed the 5200 cartridge in January 1984 and found it a lot like Atari's Berzerk, which it preferred for its better look and play and its talking robots, so it recommended Berzerk instead.

How it was made

Programmed by Keith Dreyer and Torre Meeder, per AtariAge. Published by CBS Electronics in 1983.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 10

January 1984

Graphics ★★½ · Play-Action ★★½

“Since we feel that Berzerk looks and plays better, with the addition of the voice of the robots, we recommend it over this game.”
— Computer Entertainer, January 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

How the Atari 5200 version differs

Computer Entertainer preferred Atari's Berzerk, saying it looks and plays better and adds the robots' voices, over this 5200 game.

The 5200 version followed the Atari 8-bit original in 1983 and was published under the CBS brand after CBS Software bought developer K-Byte.

Before you buy

AtariAge rates it Scarce+, and it is a CBS cartridge with a standard third-party label, not an Atari-house one. It uses the joystick. No reproduction or sold-as-original copy is documented, so ordinary caution is enough. It is one of three 5200 games, with Mountain King and Pitfall!, that will not start on most two-port consoles: the two-port's revised BIOS chip breaks them. It runs on a four-port, on the early two-ports that kept the original BIOS, or on a two-port fitted with a four-port BIOS chip. A copy that fails to start on a two-port is not necessarily faulty, so test it on a four-port before writing it off.
