Let's Compare ( Burgertime )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BurgerTime

BurgerTime (バーガータイム?) is a 1982 arcade game created by Data East for its DECO Cassette System. The game's original title, Hamburger, 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, by Bryan L. Wagner of Turbotville, Pennsylvania on September 19, 2008 at the Challenge Arcade in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.[1]

When Data East went bankrupt in 2003, G-Mode bought and currently owns most of Data East's intellectual properties, including BurgerTime, BurgerTime Deluxe, Super BurgerTime, and Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory.

Game Play

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 level 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.

Each level is more difficult, with the layout of later levels making it easier for Peter Pepper to be cornered and harder for him to reach ingredients.

[GameGirl36]

@sygo7g Yes, and its sounds like Ms. Pac-Man.

@gjc82071 Anything.

[wingnut4427]

part 2 even.. sorry I have FFS today ( Fat Finger Syndrome )

[wingnut4427]

@deadlygroove1 I have resolved the issue since then. I also have a Newer PC from that time before. I'm considering doing a remake of these earlier videos to add more ports.. or simply making a paer 2 to them. still undecided. I'm surrently working on a part 2 for Q*bert. Keep an eye out ;)

[gjc82071]

@wrestletube1 I was wrong about MAMEhub. I thought it was something entirely different. I am checking into MAMEhub now. It looks cool! I love that it has support for MESS! If I download/install it and all that, do you maybe want to get a game going some time? What kind of games do you like? Arcade Golden Age (Pacman, DOnkey Kong, etc), Brawlers, Shooters, Fighters, Sports, etc?

[gjc82071]

@wrestletube1 MAMEhub? Isn't that where you just basically "watch" people play? It's like a webcam pointed at their monitor? Kaillera Client has servers that actually allow you to both play simultaneously. It's really fun man. Does MAMEhub do that? If it allows as to actually play together, I would try that with you. I am just not sure what it really is/never used it. I see download files and "Arrange Games - Post here to arrange a time to meet and play games.". How do you play games?

[wrestletube1]

@gjc82071 I'll stick to MAMEHub as it's better and more stable plus it's MAME & some of MESS.

[gjc82071]

@wrestletube1 Really? Cool. I've been using MAME since 1997. I also have MESS & at least 40-50 various, assorted, emulators/60,000+ ROMs/games. Hey, do you use MAME a lot? I have/use MAMEppk (k for Kailera Client) for online play. It's really cool playing many of these great classic/retro games, online with/VS other people. Would you maybe like to try it out/play online sometime? It really is fun. Nothing like paying against a real person. I like many game genres & will try out any game.

The 2600 version looks bad. I expect better like actually the colours of the burger rather than everything looking like buns and magically buns turning into Burgers.
