And they now have a NEW website, aetherbyte.com! Along with a new website they have a free 10 min demo of Insanity! Just download, unzip, burn, and enjoy!

Insanity is a remake by Aetherbyte Studios of the classic arcade game Berzerk by Stern Electronics released in 1980. This game was also released on the Atari 2600, 5200 and the Vectrex. “You are trapped in a robot infested labyrinth on a distant planet. Your only hope of escape is to traverse room after room in search of the way out! The only problem is… the robots are out to destroy you. Better make sure your phazor is fully charged.”

Be sure to check out Aetherbyte Studios Website, aetherbyte.com, for future and upcoming projects.
