Throwback Thursday : Peter Pepper piling patties pretty perfectly

 My personal favorite video game of all time, from the great minds at DataEast, as Peter Pepper tries to build his burgers, in 1981 created by Akira Akimodo. 🍔

Originally released as, Hamburger, in Japan, there was question over the copywrite in the name so when it came to the states it was released as, BurgerTime, distributed by Bally Midway to this day.

Building burgers while dodging dangerous attacks from hotdogs, pickles and fried eggs 🍳 (no nothing to do with your last cholesterol test 😉) but since you are Peter Pepper you have a weapon, pepper, that temporarily stops their attack on you but you only have a limited supply.  As most video games, you can replenish by finding ice cream 🍦, French fries 🍟, or a good old cup of coffee ☕

There are six levels of play, and this one is rated as getting pretty difficult, very quickly 😡 so get ready to be challenged, then the whole thing starts over.

Intellivision had the first home version and the original Atari version was released not long after but the graphics were horrendous.  Had several reincarnations on home game decks but in 2011 was released by X-Box LIVE as, BurgerTime World Tour in fabulous 3-D.

There were a couple of spin-offs in, Ice Cream Factory 🍦, which was only released in Japan but Intellivision released, Diner, which many did like, but not me. 😁

The original stands the test of time, right up there with the other classics of the age. 🍔  A good difficulty ranking, even on the first stage, don't expect patterns to work too well on this one.  It's an underrated legend that doesn't get talked about enough, but Peter Pepper did have a brief cameo in, Wreck-It-Ralph and you can still find a t-shirt with the logo on E-Bay.
