Amok

1982 EathenRoss Software

Platform: Commodore VIC-20

Before you say it, this is NOT the same Amok game as the Berzerk clone by UMI. This was a game created by Blake Senftner for EathenRoss Software around 1982 time. Blake described the game as a kind of Choplifter rescue game, but people would shoot at you, and you would shoot back at them.

The game was highlighted to us thanks to Joachim Froholt, who had a reply to a thread about mastering C64 games from Blake. It seems that the game was actually released in late 1982 along with another game called Grave Cave that was recovered recently. However, it seems to be missing in action at the moment.

We hope to learn more soon from Blake about the title and if it can be saved. If you know anything more, or even have a copy – please do get in touch!

With thanks to Joachim Froholt for highlighting the game.
