BurgerTime

About

BurgerTime drops you into a kitchen battlefield where you're a chef racing to flip burger ingredients on platforms. Navigate a maze while dodging enemies that chase you, turning each move into a strategic play to avoid getting caught. The split-screen mode lets two players tackle levels together, turning the challenge into a cooperative effort. The gameplay is straightforward but tricky, with tight controls and a layout that forces quick thinking. Released in 1982, the game hit arcades and was a hit. The name was changed from Hamburger to BurgerTime for the US release, where Bally Midway handled distribution. Different versions had distinct titles and artwork, showing its reach across systems like DOS and ColecoVision. While community ratings aren't a thing yet, its legacy as an 80s arcade staple is clear. BurgerTime's maze-based gameplay and co-op mode made it a standout in its time.
