About Room of Doom

In this Berzerk-like game you are in a room which is surrounded by several hostile snipers. Just before the snipers shoot at you a door in front of them will open allowing the bullet to pass. It is your task to eleminate the snipers in shooting through the opening doors while your are shot at, dodging the enemies' bullets but still stying to hit your mark. To make matters worse, a monster will respawn randomly in the room you are trapped in whenever you have killed it. After having killed all snipers you move to the next more difficult level.

What the press said at the time

Arcade Express arcade_express_v1n6	October 24, 1982	8/10
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 1 No. 1	November 1982	4 joysticks

“Try to get in front of an opening door to kill the robot guard, but be ready to dodge his rain of bullets.”
— Arcade Express, October 24, 1982

“This game is a real challenge—both to your marksmanship and your staying power. Like any good video game, it requires practice and patience to get through all four of those rooms of doom and to rack up some high scores.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, November 1982

“We think you'll quickly tire of Room of Doom's below-average graphics and lack of surprises.”
— JoyStik, December 1982

“Below-average graphics and predictable game-play dominate Room of Doom, a sorry Berzerk rip-off.”
— JoyStik, January 1983

Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

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 label against known scans and confirm whether the copy is NTSC or PAL.
