Description Source:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BurgerTime
BurgerTime (バーガータイム Bāgātaimu?) is a 1982 arcade game created by Data East for its DECO Cassette System. The game's original title, Hamburger (ハンバーガー?), was changed to BurgerTime before its introduction to the US. The player is chef Peter Pepper, who must walk over hamburger ingredients located across a maze of platforms while avoiding pursuing characters. The game was popular in arcades. In the US, Data East USA licensed BurgerTime for distribution by Bally Midway. The Data East and Midway versions are distinguished by the manufacturer's name on the title screen and by the marquee and cabinet artworks.
According to Twin Galaxies, the record high score on BurgerTime is 11,512,500 points, set by Bryan L. Wagner in 2008.
When Data East went bankrupt in 2003, G-Mode bought most of Data East's intellectual properties, including BurgerTime, BurgerTime Deluxe, Super BurgerTime, and Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory.
Gameplay
When Peter Pepper walks the length of an ingredient (bun, meat patty, tomato, etc.), it falls one level. If it lands atop another ingredient, the latter in turn falls one level. A burger is completed when all vertically aligned ingredients have been dropped out of the maze and onto a waiting plate. Once all burgers are completed, the screen is finished.
While making burgers, Peter Pepper must deal with three enemies: Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg. Enemies can be dodged, killed, or temporarily stunned. Killing occurs when an ingredient is dropped atop an enemy, or when support for an ingredient is completely removed and the enemy falls with the piece. In the latter case, the piece will fall much farther than normal, depending on how many enemies are on it. Scoring depends heavily on killing enemies. The more enemies killed with a single sequence of falling ingredients, the higher the score. Therefore, to obtain the best score the player must endanger Peter Pepper by allowing more than one enemy to move onto the ingredient the player is on, just before the player drops it.
Peter Pepper has pepper shots to shake on nearby enemies to stun and render them harmless for a few seconds. Extra shots are obtained by collecting bonus foods, such as coffee, an ice cream cone, or French fries, which appear in the center of the maze when a certain number of ingredients have dropped.
There are six screens of increasing difficulty, with more burgers and enemies, burgers that have more parts, and/or layouts that make it easier for Peter Pepper to be cornered and harder for him to reach the ingredients. Completing all six screens takes the player back to the first one.

[@TimelordR]

My younger brother was a Burgertime master! We played both the Arcade & NES versions. He passed away over 15 years ago & that very game reminds me of him.

[@thepumpkingking8339]

Nice memory Man

[@admiralman1472]

So sorry for your loss. I would've loved to have seen him play!

[@cutiefriendsadventures7129]

TimelordR He must have passed away at a very young age. I wonder how he passed away?

[@robbiewalker2831]

He would've enjoyed BurgerTime Party, if he was alive.

[@theodorehsu5023]

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's passing, TimelordR. I hope this brought good memories.

[@thepumpkingking8339]

Must admit I do like the Gameboy version.

[@QHMCQ]

I love how the Atari 7800 music just seems to randomly pop any note it wants to.

[@Guernicaman]

Once again, the Colecovision version looks surprisingly close to the arcade version.

[@robertknight4672]

The Colecovision in my opinion has the best looking egg out of consoles.

[@GamingHistorySource]

Kids today will never know the struggle.

[@GamingHistorySource]

+Pixel Vortex of having to choose a version or the right machine. Back then We had so many to choose from. now it has dwindled down to 3. Secondly ! They will never have to face buying a game for it's arcade counterpart only to discover that the version they have is absolute garbage.

[@scooterahlers9666]

+Gaming History Source Most arcade ports back then were good UNLESS you were unlucky enough to have a 2600, Apple 2, Intellivision, or Odyssey 2.

[@KillThad]

+Scooter Ahlers I don't know, Intellivison had some good arcade ports. Look at Q*Bert.

[@scooterahlers9666]

KillThad Mixed bad as Intellivision did have some good arcade ports - it also had some zingers like Donkey Kong. Too bad the Intellivision didn't have a joystick like the Atari/Commodore/Coleco.

[@KillThad]

Scooter Ahlers Fair enough, but there was a Intellivision joystick mod. I owned them, and they actually worked quite well.

[@daveperry3186]

Coleco burger time! When I had a coleco I played it all the time! The -80-‘s! Awesome!

[@petermca]

I remember when it came out for intellivision and for me that was the best version - I still have this game today

[@CyberBishop]

The Colecovision version is my favorite.. I logged so many hours on it when I was a teen..

[@ryanblackerby9178]

I had the intelivision when I was a kid, this was one of my favorite games. Thanks for posting this!

[@MrVenom1974]

One of my favourite arcade games of all time. Great video!

[@jbone09]

My favorite is definitely for the Colecovision.

[@eriksojka8358]

this was and still is a great game!!! I still play it!!! thanks for posting it

[@GamingHistorySource]

Thanks for the view & comment ! I'm glad you enjoyed the video ! :)

[@Diamondfist1]

Arcade's Greatest Hits The Midway Collection 2 for PC also had Burgertime in it, along with 6 other games (including Moon Patrol), but I think when Midway Arcade Treasures came along, they didn't have the rights to it. Burgertime is also found in Data East Arcade Classics for Wii, along with its sequel Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory. I'm enjoying these Let's Compare videos; I've never seen a lot of the versions for many of my favorite games. Thank you for doing these!

[@retrogameclips1]

Peter Pepper is sporting some big ass hats on the Atari 5200 and Atari 7800 versions lol, Great video!!!

[@jaysmith2858]

I think the NES burgers have been left out of the fridge too long! "Would you like extra mould with your burger sir?".

[@GamingHistorySource]

Thanks ! I'm glad You enjoyed the video. :D

[@MrPoestyle]

IMO having played recently and owning the 2600 , Intellivision , Colecovision and NES versions . I think that the Intellivision is the best . Looks aren't everything . The Intellivision has the most responsive controls . That little disc really stepped it up in this game . Nothing better than playing these on the original hardware . It's not just about graphics and sound .

[@scarosone14]

Colecovision looks and sounds the best to me. That system back in it's day could do it all.

[@scottwilson1251]

Coleco's looks better than intellivision, but the chef moves slower it seems like.

[@wingnut4427]

Thanks man. There was no copyright claim. I'm just clearing out any potential problems before they arise in the future. :)

[@alpacino4857]

very informative. 10/10 score.

[@living_1daat]

I like how the Amstrad Version is playing a Japanese game, in French, on a British Computer, and the intro jingle is of the American anthem...

[@littleman7514]

PineappleEpyx I always loved the "Amsterdam" computer

[@littleman7514]

That was sarcasm.

[@MrVenom1974]

Thank you very much!

[@Jeansowaty]

The animation of the sausage in the ColecoVision version is funny!

[@PSYCLOWN185]

I am surprised how good the TI 99 version is considering computers that came out years later still couldnt produce results like that. Also having played the MS DOS version i enjoy that one quite a bit as the controls are really good.

[@tarstarkusz]

The 7800 version shown here isn't the right version, it's a sequel called More Beef Drop with completely different and harder mazes and many more of them. Colecovision wins IMHO followed by BeefDrop, the real version either for the 8bit Atari or the 7800

[@xeriland]

Even the Video Game Critic agrees. He wrote, "BurgerTime for the Colecovision is easily the best home version I've played, and it even gives the arcade a run for the money. With its meticulously detailed graphics and arcade-perfect gameplay, I really can't find any flaws with this one. Unlike some lesser versions, in this game the pepper is "contagious" between bad guys, which is a good thing."

[@jbgtly4930]

Yea whoever developed that colecovision version did a hell of a job. Its far better than the 5200 version, which was its direct competition at the time, and also better than the 7800 version which came out many years later. Sad, no telling how big they could have became if they would have kept their focus on gaming consoles instead of the far more expensive Adam home pc line.

[@UFOsAreRealArea51]

The Apple 2 had very good graphics for back then....Coleco Vision was ahead of it's time when it came to the graphics even to the Atari 7800...and I love the music on Burgertime Deluxe by Windows....Burgertime fan for life!!! :D

[@Jerome-C]

Missed Super Burger Time ? I remeber playing this Burger Time on my Intelivision, good old time !!!

[@lostfan5054]

I just recently discovered the arcade version of this game at a laundromat. And it's so much fun. I can see why it was a hit!!

[@silenceofthehills]

The music on the TI99 version resents every time it stops for a sound effect. That probably gets kinda redundant after a while.

[@JohnHassink]

It was later remade as "Mac Attack" for MSX, with improved graphics and even some (crude) speech samples.

[@LivingVicariouslyHD]

Awesome comparisons! I grew up with the Intellivision version. On one of my first cellphones, I downloaded a version of Burgertime for it that wasn't included here (it wasn't that Java one). I quite liked it despite having to use an unreliable little nub.

[@GamingHistorySource]

I will be removing the original video within the week. If You want it, Now is Your chance to download it for Your own personal archive. I will make it available on dailymotion. I will be working on a remake or pitfall & robotron soon. After that ! Regular uploads will resume ! :) Enjoy the video !

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

My love for Burgertime runs deep. Even though some of these were hard to watch like the Aquarius version. It looked like Gumby and Pokey were chasing you. LOL

[@haybaile9478]

All time fave arcade game

[@ViDiGames1]

You are really good at this game.

[@GamingHistorySource]

Thanks !! That's a lot different that most people telling me that I suck. lol I appreciate that ! Seriously !! :D

[@ViDiGames1]

Cheers!

[@peacelaurel]

That was the version I first played it on. It was awesome!

[@joltinjack]

I was 24 when I first saw this, and never played any video games except PONG, as it was a 1977 Christmas gift. I can't understand what is so intriguing about playing a game where a chef is being chased around the kitchen by hot dogs, eggs, and dill pickle slices.

[@theodorehsu5023]

The NES version was referenced in the Season 2 premiere of "Captain N: The Game Master." New cast member "Gameboy" is a sentient robot,, and he brought Captain N (as Mr. Hot Dog), Simon Belmont (as Mr. Egg) and Mega Man (as Mr. Pickle since he was with a green design for the show) to Burgertime. As the chef, he avoids Captain N's zapper gun (which shoots out ketchup instead of a freeze ray).

[@GamingHistorySource]

The game itself is excellent ! I got this footage from the demo version. But the game play, music, & challenge were so good I am going to purchase the full version. I would advise anyone to. It's an excellent conversion & update to the original game.

[@TheColdest247]

The Intellivision version brings back so many memories. Keep up the good work

[@IPODsify]

atari: whats a burger?

[@laranaarana]

That is how so say hamburger in a hurry in the U.S.A.

[@thesman32]

another good video man and a bit s**t about the copyright thingy,there was also a port on the spectrum called Barmy Burgers but you only had to build 3 burgers instead of 4.

[@robbm.cupich2120]

Very nice

[@Riz2336]

I'd say the NES is a good arcade port.

[@Parkinski27]

Riz2336 The Texas Instruments 99 version is also surprisingly good.

[@walterg74]

Amazing

[@peacelaurel]

I loved this game!! I had it for Intellivision first and Nitendo later. I don't like the newer versions that took out the classic Burger Time music. It just doesn't feel like Burger Time without it! Thanks for putting this video up with all the versions. I was really cool to see all of them. Dang! Now I want to play it so bad!!

[@oldstylegaming4655]

11:53 The Leaderboard... XD

[@BlaineC1972]

Good: Intellivision, Coleco, C64 remake, NES Bad: Armstrad, original C64 Horrible: Texas Instruments, MSX, 5200 and 7800

[@lynchie137]

Also include the Atari 2600 version in the "bad" category. That thing was HORRIBLE!!!!!

[@waffle5422]

the Atari 2600 only had 128 bytes of RAM.. they did their best

[@97ajf]

I think the gameboy one is the best port, the music is all there, the graphics are nice, you can tell you're looking at the lettuce, the meat, the pickle ect. it's not slowed down like some of the other ports pus it still has the classic charm unlike some of the weird modern remakes, plus it has the added benefit of being portabe on the gameboy!

[@GadZombie]

I love this game! AFAIR port for Atari 5200 was made very late but it's really good. There was no original game for Atari 8-bit computers in the eighties.

[@silenceofthehills]

I like how in BurgerTime 97, the chef does a groin thrust to both sides instead.

[@wilholloway7876]

There was also an excellent version for the TI 99/4-A. I played it many times.

[@GamingHistorySource]

It's here.

[@warrencook9611]

Aquarius version, sounded like the Intellivison.

[@Urist_Mythrilforged]

The TI99 version was my jam during my early childhood.

[@daveheel]

+Urist McInternet the ti99 did videogames very well. i knew someone who owned that computer.

[@Urist_Mythrilforged]

I used to own one. Then it broke. Another game I played was Parsec.

[@MoonPrincess28]

Atari: Beef Drop I wasn't always watching the screen, so idk if it said it for the others. But pffft...beef drop...

[@tomarnold8417]

The Colecovison is the best. They were always doing it right!

[@cadiman12]

i agree with u too! colecovision burgertime is the best than the other ports.. i always play this game on my original equipment.. :)

[@tomarnold8417]

It's more faithful to the arcade and the details is amazing. NES is fun though.

[@xeriland]

@@cadiman12 Add an F18A card to ColecoVision and BurgerTime jumps from an A to A+.

[@undine117]

Haha! The Windows one it's like Gourmet Burger time, so classy music ;p... I played the NES version, and I think it had funny sounds . :)

[@1983parrothead]

Peter Pepper officially had a mustache in Japan and even in PAL regions. But North American distributor Midway made that redrawn version. There are some official sequels like Deluxe and Super versions also by Data East, as well as licensed versions by others. In North America, this arcade game, Bad Dudes VS. DragonNinja, the Caveman Ninja/Joe & Mac series, and some Neo-Geo games by Data East are the most commonly mentioned ones. In Japan, the home country of Data East, people mention a lot more than what North America mentions.

[@TheObjectShow]

This was created on my birthday!

[@GamingHistorySource]

Happy belated birthday !

[@TheObjectShow]

What does that even mean? And can you make Let's Compare: Sonic the Hedgehog?

[@SKiNT3ASTWOOD]

aquarius version got played alot by me and mates.we actually were that good at it that taking turns would be like 2 hours before one of us actually lost a life.cheers for the ups good times.

[@scooterahlers6719]

I guess Burgertime is sweet REVENGE for all the hot dogs, eggs, and pickles humans have eaten over the years :)

[@NightSprinter]

*smirks at the first Commodore virsion* Okay there, "Fry". :P

[@prestonsnoop]

Burger Time Intellivision Rules.

[@scooterahlers6719]

One of the most difficult games - right up there with Defender & Ghosts-n Goblins

[@SillyEwe]

This games makes me wonder what a burger with sausage and egg tastes like.

[@dannymusic]

This game was so hard to master, but most people don't appreciate that unless they try it themselves!

[@1gpasko]

Nice compilation of the different versions. #1 Arcade, #2 Intellivison, #3 Ti99, #4 NES, #5 Gameboy That's amazing how many versions there are!

[@FamigliaOnnivora]

It exist also for Commodore 16.

[@atypicallavender77]

I vaguely remember this game

[@ZombieDawg]

Intellivision and GameBoy versions are my favorites. I still have an Intellivision hooked up, and the Burgertime cartridge is usually what's in it.

[@JayJayPee123]

I'm impressed with the Intellivision version. Excellent sound and graphics

[@rosemaryfriedw124a8]

The player name on Commodore 64

[@felipebrasil5]

please help me to find a game where you have to fabricate ingredents for burguers (not burguer time). it´s like four colors machines you with an chef outfit... please anyone knows about it?

[@theodorehsu5023]

I remember the Apple II version fondly. i was pretty good at it, if I say so myself--the keyboard made for easier handling.

[@shayneoneill1506]

Man, amstrad got such lazy ports sometimes. It was genuinely a really decent machine, but it often just got fast and nasty aftermarket ports that failed to show the machines capacities at all.

[@theannoyedmrfloyd3998]

The M Network Burgertime cartridge for the Atari 2600 uses 128K of bankswitched ROM and was quite the feat of programming and engineering.

[@ahmedmwaffaq]

I spent hell of time on it...Aquarius computer

[@vectrexrc237]

colecovision version is very good

[@AngryCalvin]

Feel very fortunate to have had the Texas Instruments 994a version. They had some of the best arcade ports out there. Often as good or better than Collecovision. Had this along with Donkey Kong and Congo Bongo. Always wanted Popeye which was also a decent port but never got a hold of it.

[@joesmoe71]

Oh all the 80's versions I think the TI 994/a was the best

[@chrislowee8475]

Those damn hot. Dogs. Always seemed to be chasing me at the wrong time.

[@warrencook9611]

On the Amstrad version, Why is it in French?

[@jwaughtal]

colecovision is actually at 18:11

[@LuigiMario79]

Is it bad that I perfer the Windows Deluxe version over the other versions?

[@GamingHistorySource]

Not at all ! I enjoyed it myself ! But from a purist standpoint it is easy to understand why others may not share the same opinion. Thanks for the comment ! :)

[@lavahit]

Idk if it counts but isn't Super Burger Time another Burger Time game? (It even has a villain).

[@ArmandoBarradas]

Missing in this vid: atari st and ps3 remakes

[@garrysmith6734]

the date east Nintendo version is NAILS. I have only been able to watch other people on KZbin get past level 2 where I am stuck. the KZbinr of whom I speak m managed to get to lvl 7 before he/she quit.

[@Babylovenyc4427]

Me too I really like the windows music version :)

[@GamingHistorySource]

By the way. I'll be uploading Your Spotlight video by Tuesday. :)

[@xeno_pana]

the apple II and the intellivision are so similar!

[@jamesborlan2850]

Peter pepper picked a pack of pickled peppers. Rolls off the tongue and yes I am aware he’s making burgers but still

[@GamingHistorySource]

No claims were made But the original used a jingle from back in the 80's from an old McDonald's Commercial. I want to purge all possibilities from this channel to assure it stays in good standing. But the video Will go to Dailymotion so it wont be lost forever. :)

[@konajinx]

BEEF DROP! Followed by its lesser known sequel, "Meat Curtains."

[@thesman32]

if your mame emulator has slider controls you could turn the music of and leave the sfx on by turning down CH 0 & CH 2 but this only works on the cassette version of the game,i use mameuifx32 v0.132 you can do it on that if your interested,but i would completely understand if you didn't want to revisit it.

[@lurkerrekrul]

There's a freeware clone for Windows called Burgerland that isn't too bad. It uses all 3D graphics, so it looks a little weird but it plays pretty well. The display can be set to follow you close up, or it can be zoomed out.

[@peacelaurel]

Lucky and smart! I was dumb....I wish I had not thrown away my Intellivision!!! I might have been able to get it fixed. I had so many games for it because my Aunt worked for Mattel. She had every game so I was very fortunate when I was young.

[@hernanmatias1428]

The NES/FC version is so hard

[@robertmiles9942]

Does the DOS version use composite CGA?

[@Bubbabyte99]

Lol, looks like AVGN did the footage for the Commodore version!
