Anthology of Interest II

[on:]

Hi There,

I hope this hasn't been asked before but does anyone know the names of all the video game characters that come out of the Space Invader ship towards the end of the 2nd epsiode in Anthology of Interest II?

I got Donkey Kong, Q-Bert and the big brain guy out of Robotron (not sure of his name though), but who's the green fellow?

There's a pic here, and he looks awfully familiar, but I just can't think from where?

Thanks!

He's one of the robots from Berzerk, a game also referred to in dialogue from Fear Of A Bot Planet ("Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Stop the humanoid!" ).

Ah! Excellent thanks.

I thought I knew my video games, but I don't think I've ever heard of Bezerk. Is that a coin-op or what?

Also, does anybody know what the Robtron big-brained baddies are actually called?

Thanks!

Berserk was the great-grand-daddy of doom. You were a little guy with a laser gun in a maze with electrified walls, filled with robots armed with lasers of their own. The idea was to kill all the robots and escape from the maze without touching the walls. If you took too long, "Evil Otto" would show up and kill you.

And the brain guys were called, strangely enough, "Brains".

Just click my link; screenshots plus wavs of the various robot dialogue.
