🎮 Play Burger Time Data East Usa Online (Arcade)

BurgerTime is Data East’s 1982 arcade classic, playable here in its Data East USA release. You control chef Peter Pepper as he dashes across a multi-level kitchen, walking over floating hamburger ingredients — bun, lettuce, tomato, and patty — to knock each one down a level until it lands on a plate and completes a giant burger, all while three living food villains, Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg, chase him around the ladders and platforms.

How to Play

Clear every ingredient off the platforms to assemble all the burgers on a level and advance; get caught by an enemy before you do and you lose a life. Use the arrow keys to run across platforms and climb ladders, and press Z to shake pepper at a nearby enemy, stunning it for a few seconds so you can slip past or drop an ingredient on it.

Tips

• Time your ingredient drops to catch two or three chasing enemies under the same piece at once for a much bigger bonus than squashing them one at a time.
• Your pepper supply is limited and doesn’t refill often, so save it for moments when you’re truly cornered rather than using it on the first enemy you see.
• Enemies can’t always follow you straight down a ladder, so cutting onto one mid-chase is often a faster escape than running along a platform.
