K-Razy Shoot-Out is a clone of the arcade video game Berzerk developed by K-Byte, a division of Kay Enterprises, and released for Atari 8-bit computers in 1981.[2] The game was written by Torre Meeder and Keith Dreyer,[3] and was the first Atari 8-bit cartridge from a third-party developer.[4] An Atari 5200 version followed in 1983. The team of Dreyer and Meeder also wrote the 1983 Atari 8-bit game Boulders and Bombs.[1]

K-Razy Shoot-Out is part of a series of titles with the "K-" prefix, including K-Razy Kritters[5] and K-Star Patrol.[6] All of them were published on cartridge. After CBS Software purchased K-Byte,[7] the games were published under the CBS brand, including the Atari 5200 port of K-Razy Shoot-Out.[8]
