I've only been to 3 Wimpy's in Aylesbury, Swanage and on a motorway down SW towards Glastonbury. In the Aylesbury branch I was so impressed that they served your food on a proper plate but that was in the late 80's. Their website says they have branches in Clapham Junction, Eastbourne and Guildford. Maybe Heston could breathe new life into them like he did with Little Chef.
As for the game, I have fond memories of building burgers but on the C64.
mr wimpy hasn't gone out of business. there is one in wakefield, yorkshire (england). it's basically a cheapmans bk. the burgers were paper thin and the portions were ridiculously small. they never had mushy peas mate.
Really?! :) Which Town Centre is it? Is it a big Wimpy Restaurant or a small one? Do you go in there often and what's your favourite meal in there? Is the Mr Wimpy Character Icon still there?
My favourite clone of this type of game on the ZX Spectrum was a little title called Barmy Burgers. No youtube vids here however.

I cannot find any footage of the C64 version.
But Wimpy aren't out of business, there's at least 7 within walking distance of me.

They're more a regional thing now, like we have no little chefs where I live now, but you can't move for them where my friend lives in Norwich.
