  • "Berzerk" is a song by American rapper Eminem, and produced by Rick Rubin. It appears in Guitar Hero Live, in the setlist of Quantum Freqs, the Hip-Hop based band. The song, released on August 27, 2013, is the first single from Eminem's eighth studio album The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The song samples Billy Squier's "The Stroke", as well as the Beastie Boys' "The New Style" and "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)", both songs taken from their 1986 debut album Licensed to Ill, which Rubin had also produced. The song was heavily downloaded in its first week of release, resulting in the song debuting at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100.
  • The A. I. for the game was also a bit unique as well, as the enemy robots were stupid, shooting and running into each other or walls, which would result in them being destroyed. The player would also earn points for every robot destroyed, no matter if they or the robots caused their [own] destruction. If the player took too long to escape from a level, the indestructible Evil Otto nemesis would appear from wherever the player had originated from in a maze and bounce his way across the screen, through walls and robots alike. The fewer robots that remained, the faster Otto would travel.
  • Berzerk was a unique game at the time when it was released in the arcade for several reasons; for one thing, being a maze game, it had 64,000 mazes, which was a gigantic number for any game of any gaming genre back then. It was also one of the first games that had speech synthesis as well (costing $1,000 a word U. S.), which involved sassing the player when they didn't destroy all the robots in a maze, saying "chicken! Fight like a robot!", among several other brief phrases.
  • A forgotten classic of The Golden Age of Video Games. The player controls a humanoid, who must shoot robots and/or escape the room. Berzerk was one of the first video games to have voice synthesis, which it put to good use. It compels passersby to play by saying, "Coin detected in pocket"; spurs its computerized cohorts to victory with, "Stop the humanoid. Stop the intruder"; expresses its consternation with the player's success by saying, "The humanoid must not escape", and, most famously, insults a fleeing player with, "Chicken. Fight like a robot."
