\"\"Who ever thought making a burger could be so much fun!\u00a0 Created by Data East\/Bally Midway, BurgerTime was released on 31st August 1982.<\/p>\n

In the game, you control the burger tosser Peter Pepper who’s goal it is to negotiate a maze of platforms & ladders trying to walk over various ingredients (not very hygienic) to create four pretty big mouth watering burgers.<\/p>\n

Burger Time contains six increasingly difficult levels with more burgers to complete and more enemies to deal with!\u00a0 Each level gets just that\u00a0little more complicated to negotiate making it easier for Pete to get cornered and harder for him the reach the burger ingredients.\u00a0 After all six levels are complete, you return back to the first one.<\/p>\n

You start the game with the bottom of a bap (as i’m going to call them) at the bottom of the screen on a plate.\u00a0 Guiding Pete around the the screen whilst running over lettuce, burgers, cheese\u00a0and tomatoes etc drops them down each level. Once they’re each topped off with the top of the baps, the level is completed.<\/p>\n

Sounds easy hey! during the game however, you are constantly chase by some other angry enemies like\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Hot Dog<\/a>, Mr.\u00a0Pickle<\/a>, and Mr.\u00a0Egg<\/a>.\u00a0 This may sound a little harder but at Pete’s disposal is a pretty strong pepper shots that once used, will pause the nasties for a few seconds allowing Pete to slip past them and crack on with the job in hand.\u00a0 These can be seen on the top of the screen so use them wisely!<\/p>\n

These menacing meanies can also be brought to a timely death with Pete louring them to a lower level, running over a burger ingredient above, causing it to drop and squash the enemy below.\u00a0 The more enemies squashed in one hit, the more point your awarded!<\/p>\n

Extra shots are obtained by collecting bonus foods, such as coffee, an ice cream cone, or French fries, which appear in the center of the maze when a certain number of ingredients have dropped.<\/p>\n
