Encyclopedia Bombastica: K-Razy Shootout

Posted by | Jan. 14, 2013 6:00am

Full Disclosure: The game was published by CBS Electronics, a former division of our parent company. Fuller Disclosure: It's basically a Berzerk clone.

SO CRAZY

It don't get K-Razier than this.

Posted by mdnthrvst

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

'Drew can we turn down the game audio a touch'

Posted by ArcadiaExeter

ok! i see. now its all coming together. CBS buys Giant Bomb to resurrect its early 80's Atari market. nice try , guys.

Hang on while I have a seizure during the level change screen

Yes game audio needed to drop to 3 on the control board Drew....

That noise is pretty good.

Doesn't have the same horrific electrocution noise when you touch the walls, though...

Dat 5200 sound

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

Posted by Orbitz89

Looks like a pretty fun game to be honest.

Edited by Bistromath

Dang, my childhood dentist's office had a Berzerk cabinet.

Too bad this is the CBS ripoff. #onthetake

Posted by melodiousj

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?

Posted by ReverendHunt

I love how you guys will showcase pretty much anything. I can't wait until you do a video on Fireplace.

Edited by Abendlaender

So Jeff, what are the chances for K-Razy 2 ? Get on it!

Posted by Vexxan

This game is all sorts of cray cray.

Posted by ImmortalSaiyan

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.

Posted by mnzy

Well, atleast the cover art is cool.

Edited by TheHT

Worst video game name I've ever seen. Worse than Driv3r.

Yeah I said it.

edit: ok, it's been immediately upended by "K-Razy Antiks"

Posted by forteexe21

Bad idea to use my headphones...

Posted by DylanFill

The game audio is WAY too loud, you can barely hear Jeff.

Thank you for the full disclosure.

Dat noise

Thanks Jeff!

That noise is pretty awesome.

Posted by Elwoodan

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

Man... I really wanna play Berserk now.

Posted by PXAbstraction

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.

Edited by imbarkus

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.

Posted by CircleNine

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.

Posted by Mesoian

Jeff's mic sounds way better.

Posted by HellBound

I think I need to upgrade me PC to play this! Wow

Posted by gaffyh

annoying sfx are annoying, loud annoying sfx even moreso.

Audio mix is not good

Posted by KingGiddra

Oh my. Thank you for getting a new mic Jeff! My ears thank you!

This is awesome!

The game audio was piercingly high at times.

Posted by Fin

These videos no longer work on my Chrome browser. Other sites video still works perfectly fine, what gives?

Posted by blueinferno

Those are some annoying sound effects.

Edited by gbrading

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.

Posted by beardfish

@PXAbstraction: I can't see much of it, but it looks like a Studio Projects B1 or an audio technica 3035

Posted by Laivasse

"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.

Posted by hussatron

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

Yeah Jeff's mic was too low.

You're organizing a nightmare.

Posted by alienjones

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