Item Description
Peter Pepper has the strangest job in the arcade. He is a chef who builds burgers the size of a room by walking across them, and he has to do it while Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle and Mr. Egg chase him up and down the ladders of a giant kitchen maze. BurgerTime is one of those ideas that sounds absurd when you describe it and becomes completely absorbing the moment you pick up the controller.
Every board is a puzzle of buns, patties and lettuce stacked across a lattice of platforms. Walk the full length of an ingredient and it drops one level, knocking whatever sits below it down too, until each burger is assembled on the plates at the bottom. The real strategy is in using the food as a weapon. Drop a layer onto a pursuing enemy to crush it, or lure enemies onto an ingredient before you release it, and they ride it down for extra points while the layer falls even further. When things get desperate, a shake of pepper stuns anything caught in the cloud, but supplies are limited, so the ice cream, coffee and fries that appear as bonus items become precious refills.
Data East created the game for arcades in 1982, originally titled Hamburger in Japan, and Bally Midway brought it to North American arcades, where its oddball menu of villains made it an instant conversation piece. It went on to appear on a long list of home systems, and the Famicom version that became this NES cartridge was part of the console's early wave of arcade conversions, reaching North America in 1987.
Six boards of rising difficulty loop endlessly, and that is exactly what makes it so replayable: the layouts become familiar, but the enemies never stop crowding you, and the high score is always within reach. It is a perfect pick-up-and-play game, the kind you sit down with for five minutes and leave an hour later, and a charming reminder of how much personality early arcade designers could squeeze into a single screen.
