Classic Game Room - FRENZY arcade game review

[@Tricob1974]

Agreed, Mark; Frenzy was - IMO - a very underrated arcade game. The cabinet design was very misleading, and didn't grab your attention as easily as many other arcade games at the time. But this was one sequel that really did it for me; the gameplay was more in-depth, and the levels offered much more variety than Berzerk did.

[@chrisnizer1885]

I remember Fun Zone in Balboa had a whole row of Berzerk machines back in 1980 but I don't ever remember even seeing a Frenzy machine anywhere. Looks like pretty cool game. Thanks for the video and Semper Fi!

[@chrisnizer1885]

Got Frenzy loaded onto my Super Retrocade now and it's a blast! So much fun playing all the classic games again. And with a JOYSTICK controller too. Keep the classic games coming, Semper Fi.

[@BlackArroToons]

Great coverage of Frenzy! Had it for Colecovision and it's a classic.

[@BigDaddySeany]

I never played Berzerk (or Frenzy for that matter) in an arcade, only through emulation...but I loved it. I wished that Stern would release it for modern systems. You should try and interview Stern!

[@Oche76]

Great review Mark as always.

[@Geffersan]

Love this game, you're so lucky to have the arcade cab.

[@snow69413]

I am currently working on building a M.A.M.E cabinet. I going to make sure I have this game on it.

[@TheCRTman]

Cool this was released on my birthday! In 2011 on my birthday, I went to the Boardwalk Arcade and played a bunch of classic arcade games!

[@JohnSTF72]

Never saw the original arcade machine either.Thanks for the demonstration Mark.

[@SoulCitySawdog]

Great game, I remember it now! Always liked it!

[@gynandroidhead]

This was a very professional and well-done review of the game, but I will differ that you cannot play these game for a really long time once you get a routine down. I was able to get over 150K (respectable) on numerous occasions, and got tired of the game. I was 16 when it first came out, and I was shocked when people did not take to it like Berzerk - because this game had so much more to it, and the fact that you could plunk Evil Otto once or twice under the right circumstances was REALLY cool. I never took to Berzerk quite as much, but I have always been a contrarian.

[@Barla90]

Great music at the end!

[@garu629]

I would totally want this game in a home arcade as well! My only gripe is I liked the cyclops robots from Berzerk and I always wish they showed up in this game too.

[@ClexYoshi]

I actually like how lumpy the big daddy Evil Otto looks on the side of the cabinet. : P

[@georgeshelton6281]

I never saw this classic video arcade game machine restored before.

[@MrHiu2]

This game is pretty uncommon. Good find!

[@RenegadeFury]

yay real video game reviews

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

New wave toys just announced today 1/6 scale versions of Berzerk and Frenzy! :)

[@WillBurns]

Weirdly enough... the side art actually does represent the game lol. It's Big Evil Otto spitting out more Evil Ottos.

[@whodatninja439]

Evil Otto is f*n scary!

[@UMAMIMAMU]

LOVE this guy.

[@chronovac]

frantic is a flash game that really needs to be made into an arcade game

[@theawesomegamr]

i love how u love the vectrex so much, i have one, my fav console :D

[@airthrow]

I just started playing Frenzy on emu, I used to have a bartop with Berzerk and I love both so far. What does the Tesla coil and big yellow face in those rooms do, anything?

[@fistinthewall]

I'm going to go watch Code of Silence now.

[@kooky216]

Nice review.

[@MarchosArcade]

Hey m8 , found this game on my multi arcade it's actually fun except for that smile face coming at you , just did a video on my channel , like your chuck noris spin off great video man

[@Packers909]

nice t shirt mark!

[@UMAMIMAMU]

Code Of Silence. AWESOME movie.

[@clunette]

Mark really needs to get someone to play the games for him.

[@syntheticsleep]

Berzerk was one of my favorite Atari 2600 games, and this is the first time I've seen this! Why THE FUCK didn't they put this on the 2600???? That shit looks awesome, and even if it had to take some minor hits, this could have been a great Atari game. I hope I come across one someday.

[@Alaska1925]

I think the _only_ console which ever got a Frenzy port was the Colecovision. For some reason. And it's a very good port too, if you have a Coleco you must own a copy of this game as well.

[@BAKU2K2]

Alaska1925, It also got a ZX Spectrum release, so the Colecovision wasn't the only home port of Frenzy.

[@jamesgrey13]

This game was known as "Calm and Peaceful" before Chuck Norris got near it.

[@Micr0cut]

this game looks really good

[@Jadty]

The shots sound VERY similar to the shots from blasters in the Star Wars original trilogy. Maybe the sound effects in the movie were made using a similar synth or sound chip as the one in this machine.

[@oejam]

Maybe the side art represents the smiley bouncy thing, so it is relevant :p

[@Zzyyxxyyxx]

I bet Chuck Norris could play Frenzy with Robotron controls!

[@cyberzonie631]

Atari Battlezone was in 3 movies that I know of, Running Scared, Tron, and The Philadelphia Experiment (where it gets blown up!, haha)

[@s0ggi]

if you get frenzy because of that movie, then you also need the playboy pinball mechine

[@99ronmarsh]

Where did you find her? Hard to come by around me, I'm still looking for one if anyone has one for sale.

[@MrIcejones]

CODE OF SILENCE brought me here.

[@Mysticfateee]

chuck norris doesnt need a nursing home, hes chuck norris xD

[@infringementMAN]

Who's BSR?

[@shockwave1993attack]

I have Frenzy for Coleco! :D

[@bamboo1218]

old school rules!!!

[@adamd3441]

This is also on the ZX Spectrum!

[@SK-le1gm]

There was a great old Mad Magazine spread about a fictional Video Game Olympics and the USA athlete for FRENZY looked like he was zonked on meth. Unforgettable image...

[@666jamie666]

Where is the black hole review Mark?

[@mymainmanskins]

Stern should re release Frenzy and put Chuck Norris in it! Should you play as Chuck Norris or should Chuck Norris be the evil otto?

[@JonO387]

If Chuck Norris approves, I guess they have this game at his nursing home.

[@gdashafe1001]

The only thing wrong with this video is the fact that the movie Code of Frenzy was never made.

[@VengaboysRbackINtown]

Is this a video game adaptation of the Alfred Hitchcock film 'Frenzy'?

[@TheHeroic5]

Yeah you're kinda right... But then again, we are watching videos of a man who collects video games and plays them for a living, not being offensive to Mark or anything...

[@Nopperabou]

No clip from Code of Silence?

[@briansumner123]

hail mark

[@The_Real_DCT]

Actually it's crazy otto in this one for whatever reason they changed his name for Frenzy

[@snow69413]

how can you afford all this cool stuff? I'm jealous.

[@thehegarty87]

classic stuff

[@wildsmiley]

Stands for Connecticut Leather Company. Pronounced "coh-leh-coh"

[@grendelee]

Some people are not completely entrenched in internet culture. Looks like he likes arcade machines instead, lol

[@Screwypone]

how'd you get this arcade machines?

[@funky3ddy]

Damn autocorrect.. CHUCK NORRIS!!

[@electrofreak0]

remember, for amusement only

[@johnnyg2007]

Have you seen any sailors?

[@DreamcastModsByJustin]

Me too.

[@TheCOZ]

Marquee font is very AC/DC Powerage.

[@7utas23]

Chuck norris can even order a big mac aut burgerking.

[@Nopperabou]

Your voice fucking rocks dude.

[@99ronmarsh]

Let me know if you want to sell her

[@grendelee]

I have NEVER run across a Frenzy machine. Weird.

[@infinitygenealpa]

I've hated Chuck Norris ever since I heard he was friends with Justin Bieber, so that fact means nothing to me.

[@Hyper_Egret]

LORD KARNAAAGEEE!!!!!

[@DreamcastModsByJustin]

Chuck Norris isn't in a nursing home.....

[@MultiMrHP98]

Well, you know i´ve actually grown to like these FIRST comments. They seem to make everybody mad for no apparent reason XD

[@Mr_x_19922]

If Chuck Norris like Frenzy, you better like it too, or you will be dead soon

[@TheHeroic5]

Well, there is no need to comment what number comment you are. It has no relavence to the video, and is annoying. These comments are made to give feedback on the video, or to tell about your favorite parts. It gets very annoying when on every video you have to go through a page of comments that say "FIRST" or "SECOND." Don't you agree?

[@martinf74]

Frenzy is way better than Beserk.

[@uroprop]

xbl have a new pinball game with real machines you should look at

[@Strideo1]

"I choose Block Hole because it's a pinball machine I liked to play with my d- . . . Dad." Whew.

[@djklink20009]

(insert chuck Norris joke here) ... >.>

[@matthewlane518]

Frenzy is superior to berzerk but for some reason never caught on as well

[@Retrocidal]

my bad wrong place

[@Optimalillusion]

But Frenzy didn't kill somebody.

[@Retrocidal]

dam your big mic my sound sounds like crap and i only got one camcorder :( and if i plug a mic into it makes a lot of noise so i have to use built in sucks these games are befor my time and i am already old ^-^

[@SuperPineapplejones]

Bezerk is the only game to kill someone

[@KillswitchNTMinus]

[@THOMASSU63]
