About Marauder
Marauder is a Berzerk-clone with some minor alterations. Similarly as in Berzerk you walk thorugh several screens shooting enemies. But contrary to Berzerk where you could see every enemy right from entering the screen; in Marauder the enemies only appear on the screen when they are in your line of sight. Therefore the player can be surprised by enemies much more easier. The ultimate goal of Marauder is to destroy the power center which has to be found by the player before the timer at the bottom of the screen runs out. After having destroyed the power center, the game starts anew on a harder difficulty level.

What the press said at the time
| Computer Entertainer Vol. 1 No. 9 | December 1982 | Graphics ★★★ · Play-Action ★★★½ |
| Arcade Express Vol. 1 No. 10 | December 19, 1982 | 8/10 |
“is a game with simple but very clean graphics that's a lot of fun to play. … This is a thoroughly enjoyable game. Recommended.”
“This endows "Marauder" with a much higher suspense quotient than other maze- shoot-outs, calling forth a lot of quick thinking from the gamer.”
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.

Before you buy
Low risk. No fakes are documented. The box and manual carry much of a complete copy's value, so check that both are present. Compare the Tigervision label against AtariAge's scans.
