The audio's a bit loud and harsh, so Jeff's voiceover is a bit tough to make out.

I had K-Razy Antiks for my VIC-20. It was actually a pretty decent game.

I've noticed that you don't see a lot of games these days with the word K-Razy in the title. Is CBS sitting on the rights or something?

Jeff's voice is too low. I can't hear him over the game. I think games of this era are something you had to play in their time to enjoy. I would not be able to get anything out of this game now.

Forget another season of The Big Bang Theory, we can do a gritty, realistic re-imagining of the K-razy shooter franchise!!

Hey Jeff, what's the new microphone you're using? I'm working on a project of my own and need something exactly like that.

If you can't line it up to get shot through the neck and survive, than this is not a proper clone of Berzerk.

BTW You don't have to do Legacy of the Ancients, I did that one for you.

The audio balance of this seems off. Like it's hard to hear you speak whenever any game noise is happening with how loud it is.

Cray-Z Shootout was a the better game I think.

Jeff's pop-screen and new mic are great, but the game audio was way too loud.

"This was just a game I had." Yeah, right. Full disclosure, my arse; I can see the corporate influence on Giant Bomb is now in full effect. I hope you sleep comfortably on the juicy cash-hat that your paymasters at CBS have given you, Jeff, all just so that you'll shamelessly advertise K-Razy Shootout for them. The way you pinned all your praise for the game on the level transition noise, while glossing over the game's other, more aggravating sound effects was nothing short of pathetic. I will be seeking alternative buying advice in regards to K-Razy Shootout, since it's clear GB is not to be trusted.

When people ask what day journalistic integrity died, I will be able to answer that it was today, in Encyclopedia Bombastica: K-Razy Shootout.

Whoa, never heard of this one before. It looks like a decent enough game for the time period, but not very K-Razy really.

Well, hey. Is the screen wipe fade noise Jeff mentions sampled in this (for the wireframe vehicles)?
