BurgerTime, developed by Data East in 1982, is a classic arcade action game where you play as Chef Peter Pepper. Your objective is to assemble giant burgers by walking over massive ingredientsโbuns, meat patties, and lettuceโto drop them onto the plates below. While navigating the scaffolding, you must outmaneuver relentless enemy foods like Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg, making it a fast-paced and challenging arcade platformer.
How to Play
Navigate the ladders and platforms to step on every section of a burger ingredient, forcing it to drop down a level until it reaches the bottom plate. A level is complete when all burgers are fully assembled. Use the Arrow keys to move and climb. Press the Action button (Z, X, or Space) to use your limited supply of pepper spray, which temporarily stuns approaching enemies. Press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Dropping an ingredient while an enemy is standing on it will cause them to ride it down, earning bonus points and clearing them from the screen.
- If an enemy is directly beneath an ingredient when you drop it, they will be crushed, also awarding extra points.
- Use your pepper spray sparingly. Look for bonus items like ice cream, coffee, and french fries to earn extra pepper charges.
