Strange behavior/bug noticed on Atari Bezerk cartridge:

(This is the old Atari, not the newer release):

Wait until you get one of the screens with a door on the left side.
(Easier if you're on the version without Evil Otto.)
Walk until you're *almost* out the left door (this will take a few tries).
Shoot to the left, and watch the bullets try to shoot you in the back!

I have found no practical use for this, but it's interesting.

P.S.:
   This is not to be confused with the documented bug of shooting out
the right door and having the shots come in the left door.

Wait a minute, there *is* a use for this strange Bezerk behavior.
If you stand nearly out the left door & shoot left, IT KILLS EVIL OTTO!
WHEREVER OTTO IS!  HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!
