Actually, there aren't very consistent descriptions of what the game actually was, and the first recorded writings about the game are from the 2000s. I personally think the whole thing started with the two dudes who actually died playing Berzerk, and the story just got more ridiculous over the years.

>Berzerk was the first video game known to have been involved in the death of a player. In January 1981, 19-year-old Jeff Dailey died of a heart attack soon after posting a score of 16,660 on Berzerk.[6] In October of the following year, Peter Burkowski made the Berzerk top-ten list twice in fifteen minutes, just a few seconds before also dying of a heart attack at the age of 18.[7]
