Intellivision® TV Commercial: BurgerTime (animated)

[skipdillard]

to this day i still have a hard time getting past that level where u have no out..and i always get trapped...i loved vision....but i think they progressed to be too difficult too fast as the games u went deeper into the games levels...

[juniorspivey]

I wasted so much of my allowances on Big Gulps and Burger Time. 'Sniff'' I miss the 80's.

[wolf397]

These food items are pretty damn gangsta.

Mattel Electronics Presents: BOMB SQUAD!!!!

[Angryconsumernerd]

This was the first game I played when I was a kid back in the 80's and my whole family was addicted to it ..thanks for the upload .

[Earych]

Weird! I was deep into the Intellivision culture (We had an original console with the faux wooden sides) and yet this commercial doesnt look familiar at all. I remember the one with the couple pulling up to the drive-in window but this is new to me.

Neat to see! God I miss the eighties :(

[mccarrpo]

I played burgertime so much in 3rd grade, that I have dreams where I am still playing burgertime, and that fucking music would play in your head for an entire fucking month. I suffer from burgertime flashbacks. I am liable to snap your neck if I see a pickle sliced a certain way or anyone dressed up as a hot dog for Halloween.

[Agent1W]

@mccarrpo Naw. Just sprinkle pepper on them if you have it.

[KilleRotom]

I got my Intellivision with this game and it ROCKS

[MrSaturn33]

I always thought they were ladders...

[GialloHorror]

Fucking EPIC!!

[summer20105707]

This game rules.

[bondiga10]

"Wassup fool, I got "burger time" for my IBM, what chu got playa??"

[daviddpb75]

LOVE this game!!

[solitarionotturno]

I remember the spot in italian tv. The kind of 3d effect at the begin of the video ... was in my mind for years!

[cosmosboy]

very very vintage

[TheFishegg]

I think what sucks about today is, we look back and remember a time when we had the latest gadgets and what not, but we still had a future to look foreward to. Now this generation is just stupid, our generation still had class.

[Carcassfan891]

@TheFishegg

I agree.

[afterburner909]

80s commercials were so cheesy! I think the 80s scarred me. I have a mental block whenever I try to remember that time period.

[xXCriptlordwcXx]

BEE SHEVENTEEEN BAWWMMER!!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Aquarius? Now THERE's an obscure computer if there ever was one. I only know about it because I read a review of it in a 1980s book I found once.

[bpeck77]

Video games were so violent in those days.

[kurisux]

@sygo7g Nice to know I feel the same way as someone who grew up during the birth of gaming.

I guess my classic gaming collection is worth the investment after all, eh?

[kurisux]

@sygo7g Heck yeah! I may have been born into the NES era and later, but I freaking love classic gaming, and can see why these games were so addicting: they are actually well designed, creative, and.. fun.

most stuff I see today, or over the past 5-10 years just.. lacks something. Its all about graphics more than gameplay... even in game series I love, they are just losing it as time goes on...

Hmn,... maybe I should hit up Burger Time tonight, on my good old INTV ^^

[makingitprod]

@sygo7g Mattel DID have the rights on all consoles; the ColecoVision and Commodore 64 versions of BurgerTime were released after Mattel got out of the video game business.

[mikechicago]

Simply the most meaningful artifact of the 20th Century: BurgerTime (animated).

[mgohitman]

ITS BURGER TIME BITCH!!

[AnalMart]

damn, this really brings back memories. Used to play this for hours. I also like the B-17 bomber game. Can anyone remember the name of the naval warfare game? Sea Battle I think it was called.

[austing12]

i like the slogans for the eggs and the hot dogs but the pickles could ave a bit more effort into it compared to the other foods

[jagwio]

Ho ho ho. Didn't realize the "series" was that oold. I'm working my way back to you, babe (Intelli/collecovision).

[XBOXNITENDOSEGAbitch]

looks gay.. i kno it's old and all but, it's gay...

[MultipleScrotum]

You're gay. Burger Time is awesome.

[SoulMaster71]

Mattel (who ported this to American consoles, I guess) made the Intellivision, so why would they develop a version for their competitor, the Atari? Isn't that like having Halo on PS3? Or did Data East do the Atari version themselves, and if they did, why did Mattel mention it in their commercial? Especially given the Atari's popularity compared to the Intellivision's, it's like "You can have it now on our machine, but it's coming soon on a system you actually own." So many questions...

[IntellivisionProd]

Mattel did make a line of video games for Atari 2600 under the brand M Network. Although some Mattel people thought it was a mistake to support the competition, the reality was that there were 3.5 million Intellivisions out there vs. 12 million Atari 2600s. It was too big of a market to ignore.

[SoulMaster71]

Exclusive games are system-sellers though. Had the market just not progressed enough to know that? Had Mattel really wanted to succeed, they'd have make all their first-party games Intellivision exclusives like modern companies do for their systems, and then they would have emphasized the exclusive games and the fact that their hardware delivered better graphics and sound. That might have given them the win. But of course, nobody then knew what would work, and disastrous decisions were made.

[RawSteelUT]

@IntellivisionProd Not to mention the Intellivision, along with Coleco, had an Atari 2600 expansion module to let you play 2600 games on their systems.

[coffee4binky]

Actually, it's a smart decision if the console in question isn't up to par in the market share. Apple II and 2600 were the lions in the cage at the time, and Aquarius was huge in Europe, so that's why. Intellivision never came close to 2600's sales numbers back then. And to mention your example, Microsoft did release Halo for Apple Mac OS X. Go figure.

[MultipleScrotum]

No, it was a bad idea. SoulMaster71 is definitely right on this.

[Aerofire]

@SoulMaster71 Apple makes software that works on Windows and vice versa.

[Panorama1981]

@SoulMaster71 Things were different back then

[AlexAnyways]

@SoulMaster71 Back then, the game makers had a relationship, on the Intellivision or Collecovision, you could buy an expansion that lets you play Atari 2600 games. That's like putting Wii games on the PS3.

[LilStooges]

OMG I Have Burger Time So Fun! and im 12!

[MultipleScrotum]

what is what?

[steel4eva]

shut up fool, you havent PLAYED video games until you have burgertime under your belt

[italian10682]

This game is fucking terrible! It's like an acid trip... you open your fridge and all the food pops out and chases you!

WORST GAME IN CREATION!

[kurisux]

Someone has never seen Big Rigs.

Or most of the games produced in the past 5 years.

[MultipleScrotum]

you have awful taste.

[turnertalking]

The Colecovision version was pretty sweet. Except for the flicker when you were on the same level as the eggs and hot dogs.

[monkmellon]

who puts EGGS on their burgers?

[IntellivisionProd]

The Japanese. We hear it's common, even available at McDonald's. The original arcade game was created in Japan. -Your Friends at Intellivision Productions

[veskupa]

Fried eggs on burger isn't anything rare or uncommon here in Finland

[mattyoz0]

Australians.

[dzpoa]

we put here in brasil

[Brasknote]

They do it a lot on the east coast, its called a "satellite".

[axelcd1]

Venezuelans

[magudude]

@monkmellon

There's a burger chain in the US called "Red Robin", their signature burger has an egg on top.

[MultipleScrotum]

and it's delicious.

[MultipleScrotum]

aslo, Johnny Rockets here in America has a burger with a fried egg on it too.

[capnmorgan5150]

@monkmellon I caught that too, hahaha. Or hot dogs on their hamburgers?

[RawSteelUT]

@monkmellon Don't knock it till you try it, son.

[WebVMan]

I do. IHOP has awesome egg burgers. And try Bob Evans Sausage Burgers. Yum...

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

@monkmellon eggactly.

[Kenedamick]

@monkmellon Red Robin has an AWESOME egg/bacon/cheeseburger called the royal red robin

[henritje19]

easy to pick up and play but challanging to master

[nietzsche71]

i loved this game

[AgentMidnight]

Like all 80s video game commercials, this was hilarious!

-Hotdogs that have a taste for BLOOD!

-Eggs that shoot first, and ask questions later!

-and Pickles that will FUCK. YOU. UP!

[ramenxnoodles98]

hahahahaha

[1aceraussie]

omg, this and duke nukem were the games of my youth.

[DARKpoxam]

dont be suprised if your on the menu....

[PsychoJosh]

Hotdogs that have a taste... FOR REVENGE

[AnHeroForTheCause]

I remember Apple II.

[TenguGuy]

.....and?

[dAeHhTeDaGeM]

Pretty darn cool and very much ahead of its time!

[pythonfan1]

Nice airbrush rendering.

[star9rocks]

I have this on my cell phone. Got 108,000 points in my best game!

[thewackingtons]

"Eggs, that don't turn-over easy."

Man, that's a ripper!

Burger Time was the only really good game for Intellivision, (even though Mattel never made the game).

Armor Battle was okay, and Auto Racing was good too, if you chose course #5.

[MultipleScrotum]

You are out of your mind. Intellivision had TONES of great games. Beam Rider, Thunder Castle, Tower of Doom, Thin Ice, Shark Shark, Dungeons and Dragons, the list goes on and on.

[TrufflesRUs]

This was Brilliant!!! What fun was had throwing the pepper over everyone : )

[hitzuzen000]

i totally loved this game when i was little! :- D <3

[MultipleScrotum]

Hell, it's still awesome now!

[scompagnone]

loved it!!!! this was so cool

[pakkmann]

I want to sample this hot track

[morrisondandm]

i still have this game! and i Love it!!

[UncleFeedle]

A modern remake of this could probably look like that animation.

[SkyfireTheFox]

Cool beans! Burgertime is my fav video game of all time!

[plurp7]

cheese!

[TR50003]

I love this game when I was a kid.

[ninitndo13]

fluffy eggs LOL!!

[chumbersdee]

Anyone remember "Venture" for Colecovision?

[plurp7]

venture ruled!!! ive just downloaded it for my coleco emulator.. and was reminded of how hard it gets in the advanced levels.

[KaseyAkira]

Holy shit... does anyone else here dig that music?

Man that takes me back! Suddenly I have the urge to put on a plastic jacket with 20 zippers, roll the sleeves up, and start break dancing. Does anyone else get this feeling??? This commercial is TOTALLY radical dude!

[raineycry]

Wait for me! I just need to find my leg warmers, ripped up sweathshirt, and my banana clip! LOL

[Abdullu]

is that real CGI animation at the beginning?

[tyger813]

Chef Peter Pepper in the animation should have looked more like the arcade game artwork. At least this boxart matched the characters on the arcade cabinet! I thought he was one of the coolest looking arcade game characters and didn't agree with what he looked like on the NES and Game Boy box art! Still the ebst BT commercial I've seen! This game is tough but it's a classic!!! Ty

[DoughboyJonesmk2]

yeah, he almost looks like leisure suit larry in this commercial.

[happy7117]

This game always makes me want to go to Mc D's or Burger King!!!

[Maniax467]

this infomercial is ADDICTIVE AS HELL!!!

i've watched it 500 times in one sitting!

[Hyperstorm2]

I never saw this commercial. I saw the 1 that used actors.

[boredguy100]

Do you think that is why America is so fat today?

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Was it on coleco too? I think it was.

[Immortal1000]

It was. I used to have a Coleco Vision system and this was one of the games I had.

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

I use to have a coleco too.

[TechnoHajikelist]

This commerical looked cool, right now I'm addicted to the gameboy remake "Burgertime Deluxe"

[jaworskij]

BurgerTime also ran on the Commodore64.

[xxxTYPEZEROxxx]

Yeah!!!! I wondered why they didn't mention that in the commercial. I had it for the Commodore 64 as well!!!!

[IntellivisionProd]

The ColecoVision and Commodore 64 versions were not released by Mattel Electronics, which produced the commercial.

[xxxTYPEZEROxxx]

Oh ok!!! I didn't know that IntellivisionProd....Thanks.

[XMrStayPuftX]

I <3 Burger Time.

[b799]

[palaguin]
