Burger Chase

About

Burger Chase is a fast-paced platformer where you navigate a kitchen chaos by flipping burgers, dodging chefs, and managing orders. Play as a grumpy cook sprinting through greasy floors, flipping patties into pattystacks while avoiding fireballs and flying ingredients. Each level escalates the pressure with tighter jumps and faster enemies. The simple, frantic gameplay leans on reflexes and timing, with a focus on clearing plates before they pile up. While clearly inspired by earlier burger-flipping games, this 1984 release brings its own tweaks to the formula. The Commodore 64 version is the most polished, with chiptune music and glitchy sprite animations adding charm. Single-player action keeps it straightforward, and the difficulty curve rewards quick hands over strategy. Nostalgic players on retro forums often cite it as a guilty pleasure, though modern reviews note its rough edges. At 128K, the game’s legacy is more curiosity than classic, but it’s still a decent snack for a quick arcade session.
