In Food Fight, a frantic action game developed by General Computer Corporation for the Atari 7800 in 1987, you play as Charley Chuck with a singular goal: eat an ice cream cone before it melts. Standing in your way are four angry chefsโAngelo, Zorba, Oscar, and Jacquesโwho will pursue you across the screen and throw various foods to stop you from reaching your dessert.
How to Play
Navigate the open level to reach the ice cream cone before time runs out. Piles of food like pies, tomatoes, and peas are scattered around; you can pick them up and hurl them back at the chefs to temporarily knock them out. If you are hit by thrown food or touched by a chef, you lose a life.
Controls:
- Move: Arrow Keys
- Throw Food: X or Z
- Pause: Enter
- Select: Shift
- Reset: A
Tips
- Keep moving: The chefs will quickly surround you, so never stay in one spot for too long unless you have a clear line of fire.
- Watch the cone: The ice cream melts as the timer ticks down. The faster you eat it, the more bonus points you earn at the end of the round.
- Use crossfire: Chefs can be hit by each other’s throws. Maneuvering them into each other’s line of fire is an effective way to clear the screen without searching for ammo.
