One of the best arcade ports

The Good
I loved the BurgerTime arcade game and was excited to play this conversion. Unlike many ported arcade games of the day, this one was well done with many of the engaging features of the original arcade game intact. The music is engaging just as in the arcade version and the artwork is colorful and attractive. The animation matches, if memory serves, exactly that of the arcade version. If you liked the arcade version of BurgerTime, you'll love this game!

The Bad
The only thing I don't like about this game is that there are no correspondingly good version for other home systems (such as the PC).

The Bottom Line
An engaging game, well worth a look. Fun and challenging even by today's standards.

One of the best versions of Burgertime

The Good
This game has everything that the arcade had but downsized just a bit for the Colecovision. The music is very good and the graphics are very close to the arcade with the burgers and hotdogs actually making me quite hungry. The enemies are just enough to make you annoyed,but keep you coming back for more action.

The Bad
The controls are a bit sticky when trying to come off ladders and the evil food sometimes follows very predictable patterns. These do not hinder the gameplay by any major degree though.

The Bottom Line
You are Chef Pepper and must make hamburgers for the hungry customers, while watching out for the hotdogs and eggs trying to ruin your day. Chef Pepper has a small amount of pepper to temporarily stun the enemies, while he tries to build the burgers.
