Burgertime (also spelled BurgerTime and Burger Time ) is an arcade game created by Data East in 1982 for their DECO Cassette System . The aim of the game is to create virtual hamburgers . It was very successful in the golden era of arcade games .
Game details
The player controls the character of the chef Peter Pepper , who has to walk over parts of the hamburger to create four complete burgers. These gradually fall down in layers until they all reach the plates at the bottom of the screen. The hamburgers each consist of two halves of bread, a lettuce leaf and a chopping slice. These are spread over the entire screen and accessible via ladders and walkways.
The whole thing is made more difficult by three opponents who later appear several times:
- Mr Hot Dog (upright sausage)
- Mr Pickle (cucumber)
- Mr Egg (egg)
The player can briefly distract the opponent with pepper by pressing the fire button. He can also crush them between the hamburger pieces if they are underneath. Any contact with an enemy is fatal.
In between there are, as with Pac-Man , bonus items that he can collect.
