Namco has announced the release of BurgerTime Deluxe for Mac. The game is a remake of the 1980's original arcade title which challenges players to navigate a series of ladders and platforms to make burger ingredients fall onto plates below. BurgerTime Deluxe features over 60 levels and several minigames.
Let the culinary capers commence as Namco proudly serves up BurgerTime Deluxe for Mac! Enjoy a full course in the extensive Story Mode, or just sit down for a light snack in Quick Mode. Join Chefs Peter Pepper and Sally Salt as they help their uncle thwart the dastardly Vinnie Vinegar. Scale the platforms and assemble the burgers to clear the levels, then speed through the exciting minigames. Avoid Vinnie's henchmen, Mr. Hotdog, Mr. Egg, and the other baddies as they look to make short order of you! Daze baddies with your handy pepper shaker and use special items to freeze, cook, or salt them to your tastes. Earn big points by squishing your edible adversaries with falling ingredients or dropping a piece out from under them! Who says you shouldn't play with your food?
"If you're like me and have heard about BurgerTime but never actually felt motivated enough to try it, BurgerTime Deluxe may be just the push you're looking for. With all of the food frenzy action being presented in an appealing portable package, the simple fun offered by this title is something arcade gamers and just general fans of the Game Boy should consider signing up for. And certainly with all this edible merchandise, you can forgive me for being tempted to say that anyone who loves food will already have an immediate attraction to the game." -- Wiiloveit.com
Pocker Gamer - With a next-gen game from the classic BurgerTime franchise recently out for Xbox 360, the latest Virtual Console release for 3DS may well whet your appetite in anticipation.
BurgerTime Deluxe, originally released for Game Boy, features all the same burger-dropping, ingredient-dodging action from the very first release, with that familiar monochrome glaze over the top.
As with many of these old arcade titles, the game has lost a lot of its charm now. But for the hardcore among us, seeing it through to the end will take a good few bus journeys.
IGN - BurgerTime was one of the true arcade classics of the early '80s. It was a goofy maze game that cast you in the role of Chef Peter Pepper, a hamburger cook by trade, and tasked you with sending him walking around a set of platforms and ladders to trample gigantic versions of burger ingredients. If you stomped across the huge buns, meat patties and cheese slices before the enemies got you, you won the round and moved on to the next stage to do it all over again.
