With this statement, "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse.

Great thing about many official arcade ports Mattel made for the Intellivision themselves pre-Crash (and is true of all of their games on the system) is the fact they had four speeds. Slowest if you pressed 3 on the keypad, medium for 2, semi-fast for 1, and fastest for any other key/movement disc/side buttons. I would say closest to the arcade game on the NTSC IntelliVision would be to press 1 on the keypad.

DragonNinja, Captain America & The Avengers arcade, Caveman Ninja, Flying Power Disc/Windjammers, Magical Drop series, a couple of negatively known ones in their opinion Lock 'n' Chase and Fighter's History (Dynamite), and this in the video. Data East meant for Peter Pepper to have a mustache while Midway made him pretty different other than removing mustache. In Japan, much more Data East games are mentioned by gamers. From the Darwin games, Kuuga Trilogy, Glory of Heracles and Suiko Enbu (North American arcade is Outlaws of The Lost Dynasty and North American Saturn port is Dark Legend) to Edward Randy (that Treasure Co. loves and is The Last Crusade meets Castle In The Sky anime film), Atomic Runner Chelnov (Wolf Fang is likely modeled after that more than Konami's Contra) and Trio The Punch: Never Forget Me...

The Aquarius is the computer enhancement kit of the Mattel Intellivsion. Same concept as the Adam by Coleco for the Colecovision (which eventually led to their downfall) and Familiy Basic by Nintendo for the Famicom/NES. Taking a game console and turning it into a "real" computer using additional peripherials was at that time obviously total nonsense but was quite the rage in the early 80 (just like controllers with integrated numeric key pad (Intellivision, Colecovision, 5200, Arcadia 2001, Jaguar). Even Atari tried it with the 2600 and "Basic Programming", but without additional hardware (Phillips did the same with the Odyssey 2). P.S. Yes Ian Gray was not a very talented programmer at that time. P.S.II Sega also tried this console -> computer thing with the SG-1000.

Pong was still state of the art, as can be seen from e.g. Video Olympics). Yes nowadays CoD graphics may be slightly improved, but gameplay necessary isn''t. Gameplay-wise there ain't much of a difference (at least in principle) between e.g. Combat and Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat X.

Around 87 many professional software developers started developing software for 16 bit machines. First the ST, little bit later the Amiga (but nobody ever did that for the QL) so over time the market for 8 Bit software in the UK declined, which doesn't mean it vanished into nothingness, it just shrank. In Spain this change set in later, because the average income was lower in Spain, so the relative market share of Speccy games in the UK shifted, so the percentage of games programmed in the UK shrunk, while the percentage of those programmed in Spain relatively rose. It's probably worth mentioning that many supposedly UK games were really e.g. Spanish or French. E.g. all games by Dynamics were published in the UK by Ocean under their Imagine label, while e.g. Bank Panic was published by Gremlin. Later the same thing happened again when nobody in western Europe used 8 Bit computers anymore, but people in the former eastern block did, because they were relatively poor in comparison but those outdated machines (or local pirate clone systems) were cheap and an old 8-Bit computer is better than no computer at all. And that's how we first got loads of Polish C64 and Speccy software and later Witcher and hopefully sometime soon Cyberpunk 2077.

It actually is kind of an obscure game so maybe it doesn't have any versions because of it? i don't know, i was just curious about it.

The NES version wasn’t developed by Data East. It was developed by Namco, why? I don’t know but they actually have done a good work.
@RetroCore5 жыл бұрын
That is odd but then again Namco kind of had better quality standards than Data East.

There's another port that is impossible to play today, it's the Videoway version. You can see gameplay in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcB2aNKBysWsp3U.html It was my favorite version back in the day.

You don't often bother with the clones, judging by the way the Spectrum 'attempt' drew the screen agonisingingly slowly before even starting it may be a basic program. For such a simple game, it's one numerous developers had surprising troubles getting right. I find the arcade version far too frustrating, you need a controller with a really crisp 4-way response, otherwise you can't get on and off ladders when you want. I have the exact same problem with arcade Pac-Man and various games of that period, those really crisp, tight turns that you need aren't there due to sticks being built with fighting games in mind and too readily throwing in diagonals. I guess you could build a template that goes over the top of the stick with beveled slots to gate the stick and eliminate diagonals entirely... Or use the keyboard, but that's not for me.

True, clones are normally left out of the show but some of the clones actually used the name Burger Time so I wasn't sure if they were clones or not at first. In the end I just did everything I could find.

Hats off to you for playing all these awful versions of burger time. Tbh I'm not a fan of this game so respect to you for going to the effort of emulating and playing all these terrible versions.

Thanks man. to tell the truth I hate covering many computer ports because the emulation is never straight forward like it is with console emulation. A right pain in the arse at times.

I actually played the PC-DOS version quite a bit (not at the time though , as I wasn't born yet), its fun , though admittedly it shows how limited the PC was for gaming at the time. This maybe one of the few times one can say the C64 got beaten by the Apple II , which for me is easily the most impressive port on the list, while the C64 port should really have looked, ran and played alot better.

@frankschneider61566 жыл бұрын
If you can make a movie out of Battleships, Clue/Cluedo or Super Mario Brothers you can make a movie out of Burger time. I personally wonder how a Michael Bay movie of Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble or a crossword puzzle would look like and where he'd insert the massive explosions and the slow motions to support the sophisticated character development he is known for.
