BurgerTime 1982

Is it still worth playing?

A 1982 arcade game, called Hamburger in Japan, in which a chef named Peter Pepper walks across oversized ingredients in a maze of platforms and ladders so that they fall and stack into burgers. Each level holds giant buns, meat patties, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese. When Peter walks the full length of an ingredient it drops to the level below, knocking down any ingredient there, and a burger is finished when everything has dropped onto its plate. Every burger on the board has to be finished. Peter is chased all the while by a hot dog, a pickle and a fried egg. With him he carries a limited supply of pepper, thrown to stun an enemy right in front of him, and enemies caught under a falling ingredient earn extra points. Building burgers while being chased still makes a clear goal that is easy to pick up today.
