About Berzerk Flashback
Berzerk Flashback is a Windows‑only anthology that gathers the Flash titles whose source code the studio still owns. The collection removes the original micro‑transactions and ads, presenting each game in a pure, ad‑free state.
The bundle spans Action, Adventure, Casual, Indie, RPG, Sports and Strategy, delivering a single‑player experience that can be shared through Steam’s Family Sharing feature, so multiple accounts can access the same library without extra purchase.

- Use separate Steam accounts to keep each player's play history distinct.
