Trivia
In 1982 Coleco had intentions of making a handheld Berzerk. The handheld was almost a reality but was canceled due to the videogame crash in the early 80's. Coleco even created this Berzerk advertisement in preparation for an upcoming toy catalog.

The Bezerk
cab below isn't mine but from another collector. Todd of
TnT Amusements
is a big cabaret collector and owns a Berzerk mini proving it's not just another
urban legend. Todd's cabaret was purchased from a collector from down
under, having it shipped all the way from Australia. There isn't any
information on this cabinet but I believe it was produced
only
there. An
Australian marking can be seen on the CPO and side
art. This is different than the upright and cocktail versions.
Also, noteworthy is its one of a handful of cabarets with actual side-art instead of wood grain
veneer. The artwork is done in the same comic book style as the upright's
bezel but has an odd character at the bottom of the cabinet not seen before.
The number of cabaret's produced not known but had to be extremely low. To date,
Todd is the only
owner known have one in his collection.
