About this game

Borg is an arcade shooter for the Apple II, released in 1981 by Sirius Software. It is a more complex take on Stern's Berzerk, placing the player in a series of one-screen mazes.

The objective is to shoot all enemies while avoiding incoming fire and contact with the maze walls. Taking too long triggers Grud's warning, after which the dragon Borg appears, shouts “RUN!”, and pursues the player.
