What time is it?! It's BurgerTime!

[@chrisjames_2024]

I miss those days of these golden arcade video games. It's good to know there are skilled enthusiastic folks like you, and your daughter who put in the time and money to keep that ole vibe alive! FANtastic! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As a former kid addicted to his Colecovision Burgertime back in 1984, just one word: RESPECT!

[@Cynnister-vy5tl]

Oh man I'm 53. Just like you I played Burger Time, Smurfs, Sewer Sam, etc. on my ColecoVision. I also had the Atari 2600 adapter on mine so I could play Atari 2600 games on mine too. Ty for this post Alex great memories.

[@kazelasarcade]

That artwork really pops! Loved your suggestion about the side art tucked into the t-molding channel. Next time I do side art I'm going to use this method!

Nice to see folks investing the time, energy, and money to rescue and restore these classic arcade "golden age" games. These arcade games were the driving force that made I/C chips, RAM, and microprocessors affordable for the everyday consumer. Without them, we might not be carrying powerful networked computers around in our pockets, watching full motion videos, and posting comments. Thanks for showing Peter Pepper the love and respect he deserves, my friend, Semper Fidelis!

Radios and calculators sold millions all the way back to the '50s, and most of these games sold a few thousand. No arcade cabinet was produced in a quantity great enough that you could argue it made any of the components more affordable. Certainly not RAM! When were arcade games in the top 100 products using RAM? And ICs... What was developed for the arcade? Think about the TI voice chip in things like Paperboy & Gauntlet around 1984. TI had already sold millions of Speak & Spells in 1978. Burger Time was made in 1982 and used a standard 6502 CPU from 1975. Even Hydro Thunder - a 1999 game that had a big splash screen bragging about the Quantum3D hardware - was running on a Celeron CPU and two Voodoo2 cards, making it comparable to a totally decent gaming PC but definitely not a driving force. But I agree with the sentiment about the video! LOL. It's just those middle two sentences...

[@chrisnizer]

@@RaquelFoster If you spent any time at all doing due diligence, lived during or had any amount of practical experience then it would be perfectly clear. But that makes too much sense and requires thought, time and effort. Much easier to just spout your opinions based on nothing.

[@texasguy1788]

Awesome. I just introduced my son to this on my computer today! Will be coming out to play in the near future!

[@ActionPopCast]

I completely agree, if I was restoring for public use I wouldn't go as far as i would for home or resale. The effort you've put in has really made this a nice bit of history for customers to enjoy

[@Reality_Checkmate]

I just scored one of these from a friend for only $600, fully restored. Watching this video makes me appreciate all of the work he put into it and what a deal I got. Of course my wife thinks I'm a fool who got ripped off on the deal no matter what... God I hate her. LOL.

[@jacobjacksonsson9375]

its ok broskie, she probably spends more than that on makeup/hair/clothes every year

[@OldManTheseDays]

God bless your efforts. BurgerTime is my all time favorite classic arcade game and every one of those machines that is returned to action makes the world a better place. 🤪

[@ravensmadhouse75]

For our friends who don't know, The egg appears as an enemy because Eggs are commonly ordered on Burgers in Japan. These videos bring back memories of working with a vendor while I was in college on the games he brought to the student center game room, which unfortunately is now offices and part of the college bookstore.

[@InfiniteLoop]

there is so much bond in that, it could pass as my cousin Randys truck.

[@lizmabie8519]

Looks amazing. One of my favorites. I must confess the coin door brought back memories. Back in the day that same door was on Pac-Man and at my arcade if you smacked the door on the Bally/Midway logo with enough force it would give you a game credit. I did it so much that black paint was on my palm. Not my finest moment in life, but good times all around.

[@subsololiterario]

Nice to see the family working together in something so nice! Awesome video ❤

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Thank you!

[@robfrancois]

That looks fantastic!! I used to play this on the NES as a kid.

[@billellis9700]

You should pickup a refrigerator hand truck, they have kick stands on the to allow a safe lean when moving.

[@scottgm321]

Great job guys. I think I saw this on the floor Friday night 7/29.

[@retroconsole_]

teamwork. Great job. Outstanding revival of old rusty almost-dead arcade. You can buy really cheap arcades and fix them up then flip them or keep them for yourself. Or time to make some big bucks :)

[@VIC-20_Synthwave]

Nice Job! Can't wait to come & play that one.

[@Brian-Burke]

Fantastic job, folks. Good luck with the opening. I have to take a trip out there and check it out.

[@ToddTube1]

Excellent job, It looks awesome!

[@streetballer8675]

I’m in love with autumn

[@realmchat6665]

You are doing the lord's work keeping these classic masterpieces going - well done.

[@willbilly81]

God! It only took you forever! But seriously you and Season did a killer job!

[@chrismayer3919]

DAMMIT, now you guys are making me hungry for a hamburger! 🍔🤤

[@willierants5880]

Wow that BurgerTime was roached. It looks and plays great. I've put some quality time on it though I'm not any good at it. I definitely appreciate the time and effort the ESA team puts into the attractions. I do my part to help care for them by not being a brute. 🤣

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for playing nicely..😄

[@thanhmcgriff3387]

Great job both of you.

[@arcadecraig6441]

Would love a burger time project. Looks awesome great work

[@atrain818]

Looks good. I like the 2 colored button idea. Im afraid if i owned this game, i still couldn't pass the 2nd level. Game is so tuff

[@WizardKingCorey]

Looks amazing, well done

[@creatorTWin]

Definitely my favourite arcade

[@chrismcdonald4819]

Yay for Burger Time!!!

[@Traveling_Texas_in_a_Tesla]

At what point would you just go ahead and build a new cabinet for this? Are their CAD drawings you can download for stencils for the cabinet pieces?

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

@@Traveling_Texas_in_a_Tesla it’s a bit more fun to bring them back to life.

[@thomasheroux3146]

Love that game!

[@DaneMarshall56377]

I noticed an arcade1up street fighter in the background. What are your thoughts on arcade1up? I’ve bought a few and think they’re great for home arcade systems for the price.

[@docwhogr]

not lining up the hat from the vinyl to the upper edge of the cabinet really gets on my OCD

[@125scratch2]

current day fighting game fans are obsessing over microswitches when in the 80s they made billions off metal pads that touch each other

[@geneshifter]

Such a classic!

[@cffcs]

Invest in a tripod, it will make your life a lot easier.

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

Good advice. I finally did

[@williamwanker4532]

23:32 that's what she said

[@anthonypresley5593]

What type of paint roller do you use?

[@anthonypresley5593]

Also what type of painters tape do you use?

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

We always use a foam roller

[@ElectricStarshipArcade]

@@anthonypresley5593 just regular blue painters tape. Probably 3M

[@TimothySmiths]

it is a shame couldnt keep more of the original graphics but understandable due to condition of everything.

[@fuzzbear677]

Nice does a girl come with Burger Time 😋🤤🎮🕹😀👍🏾😂
