Number 15: Burger King foot lettuce. The last thing you want in your burger is foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get.A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With this statement, "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse.

Ken Williams I'm pretty sure that's EXACTLY how burgers are assembled at McHonold's or Burger Queen. BTW Greets to Roberta. Love Phantasmagoria.

Hehe, Never mind that. Why are some of the foods alive :p

+Retro Core These are the things I think about. Not how to cure cancer or help the world, stuff like this.

+United Communications unltd. I remember seeing that. As a Ginger I do posses the power to curse people with Eternal Foot Fungus, but I prefer to keep it out of Whoppers as I enjoy those from time to time.

Congrats!!!

Yeah, I was very surprised to see an Aquarius port. This is the first time an Aquarius game has ever featured on Battle of the Ports,.

Cheers man. Glad you like the content.

Lol, poor you.

Nope but a lot of them sounded just like the arcade version.

Two good ports. I. Remember seeing this as a kid but I'd never played it.

Hope you enjoyed it👍

@@RetroCore of course. I always enjoy your videos. It's funny, my memory of this game on the spectrum was that it was called Mr Wimpy, but that must be my twisted memory. I think I enjoyed it at the time, my memory of it has the game running much smoother than it does. I had a spectrum, an Atari 800xl, Atari 520ST, and my brother had a C64 so it could only have been on one of those

That's right. Someone mentioned it in the comments. I wasn't aware of it when making this video.

I guess back in the day this these ports were made excellent quality wan't really expected.

Mine was the Arcade Game, then the Apple II version. The control was better using a keyboard. I often got far on it.

Thank you pop2uno . I doubt any of those other shows like mine will ever last as long as this one. This is show 237 after all.

Nice 👍

@@RetroCore Someday I'll post a video series of retro games re-made for Linux. We have Burger Time, The Goonies, The Maze of Galious, Outrun, Abuse, Tyrian, Missile Command, among others...

Ah, Wimpy. I remember that place. Near the end of the chain's life they started to serve the burgers on real plates and give you drinks in glasses or cups as a way of saying they were more classy than McDonald or Burger King. Or at least in the UK they did.

Wimpy is still around in the UK and South Africa, with one newly opened one in Egypt.

Well spotted. Can't fix that now though as I'm on the phone.

Yeah, it was ugly but the core gameplay was present.

Thanks, Bart.

Ah, good old Whimpy. The UK's answer to Burger King. I remember Whimpy's big draw was they served their food on real plates and drinks in real cups. Instead of the paper ones other fast food joints use.

Two classic versions right there.

Always best to watch before commenting.

Retro Core - Yes. More embarrassing that it was also just as soon as I had hit play again. I did not delete my origins comment as a testament to my foolishness.

I had a burger after making this. 👍🍔

I'm not surprised. The GB port is an excelent little game. Proosibly my favourite.

Nice. I didn't k ow about the Linux version.

That's right. I beleive Bandai also handled that one.

True, apparently Mattel handled releasing it in the US as well.

hehe, the Mattel Aquarius is the Intellevision equivalent to what the Coleco Adam was to the Colecovision. A computer version of the flagship console.

Aquarius was a crappy micro computer Mattel imported from a Hong Kong manufacturer. They had to included an add on expander to have sound, cart ports and even controlers because it wasn't built in the computer itself. The INTV ports made for it were worse than original versions so yeah it didn't sell to well. The ECS, add-on keyboard for the INTV 2, was a different product.

Hehe, yeah the ice cream was a strange one.

Well, there isn't much to see on this game to be honest so I made the clips a lot shorter. I normally do around 1 and half minutes to 2 minutes per port.

It does seem unlikely. I had to double check that one myself too.

You're welcome :)

Burger Chef is a great name 😁

I really don't understand the obsession with Karnov in the US. It's not even a great game.

@@RetroCore Karnov is pretty likely Data East's mascot answer to Mario, but other than platforming with red color and mustache Italian plumber, Karnov is a Russian that breathes fire and has more powerups than Super Mario Bros. 1 back then. Karnov even made several cameo appearances in other Data East games, even while in Europe, Fighter's History Dynamite was titled Karnov's Revenge.

@@RetroCore He even made cameo appearances in other Data East games. Most notably DragonNinja and Fighter's History series.

Burger time was on the SNES? I never knew that. The Aribic MSX version sounds interesting. It may not be official though. A few of the none official ones I covered in this video were also called Burger Time.

I can see that. It's a pretty good port.

Nice, I wasn't aware of this version. It's got to be better than the efforts on the Atari 8bit computers that I covered.

Yes, way better than those older two ports. No comparison, really.

Oh, I wasn't aware of an ST version.

I'd agree with you on that. The Famicom port is a little tricky to get off the ladders at times I found.

Retro Core You can't be even a pixel off. Talk about making an already difficult game that much more frustrating.

That it does. I wish we could use composite mode via Dos Box.

It's probably the best game on the system.

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.

That's true but it's still a basic port. On consoles a game like this would normally have some additional modes. This port doesn't. I'm not saying it's a bad port, just that it's lacking expected extras.

Fair enough. :)

Someone in the comments mentioned that there's a very good 2007 made home re for the 5200 which is really nice. I've not seen it myself though.

That's something to look into, I take it. Although the 5200 controller is a different story in itself.

I wonder if it is the remnants of the UK franchise or just a coincidence.

I guess he had much more time to spend on the new version.

You mean the 2600 ? Because there was nothing better in 1980 (before the Colecovision) and because playing Demon Attack or Chopper Command or Pitfall or Asteroids or HERO or Frogger or Combat or many others on it can be extremely entertaining, despite limitations of the system (remember, when the system came out. 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. Presentation and controls are different, the game is, in principle, the same.

I wonder how many people will get that? Of course, I do. Just a shame Brucey is no longer around.

I wonder if they ever thought about that. I'm sure they must have at some point.

Wow, I never knew that.

Apparently it's called "The Flintstones: Burgertime in Bedrock". Data East doesn't appear to be involved in this thankfully. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLJiitWdsr22j6M.html

Yup, here's a link to a video of it. Wish I still owned the cartridge: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrqjpKaFrJ_RZGw.html

Just wow! They must have bought the rights from Data East in order to make this.

Probably.

After the UK switched to more modern systems, pretty much all Spectrum games were programmed in Spain and after that in Poland and Russia.

@@frankschneider6156 But the UK had a healthy Spectrum market right up until around 1992, well after the BASIC type in game shown here.

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.

@@frankschneider6156 Thanks for the explanation. I was a spanish user of a CPC in the late 80's, and I rememeber that these years are commonly known as "La Edad de Oro del software español" (The Golden Era of Spanish software), with many developers

yep, I knew that :)

Nothing new there to be honest.

I'm not sure. I've never actually played Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory.

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.

That is odd but then again Namco kind of had better quality standards than Data East.

Videoway? Wow, never heard of that before. Thanks for the link.

@@RetroCore It was a Canadian 8-bit console/computer/cable box hybrid release in 1989 by Videotron. They did sell some to a London cable company for a test run.

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.

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.

Slices of cheese and squares?

Sadly I wasn't aware of it.

@@RetroCore can you do an updated Battle of the ports of burgertime with the Gameboy Color version I told you about like you did with spy hunter

@@RetroCore @Retro Core can you do an updated Battle of the ports of burgertime with the Gameboy Color version I told you about like you did with spy hunter

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.

Frank Schneider Honestly, after the Rampage movie, nothing surprises me.

sum dood I was (at least once) smart enough to avoid that one. Is it as bad as I assume it to be ? (I mean Pixels-bad ?)

Frank Schneider I haven’t seen it myself but don’t plan to.

It does. I bet it probably is.

Sorry, the next show will be Space Harrier 2. Cameltry is on the to do list though.

@@RetroCore Battle of the Ports Schedule List: 238 - Space Harrier 2 (28th September) 239 - CamelTry (5th October)

Space Harrier 2 is right but I'm not sure on Cameltry just yet. I'm halfway through working on Soul Calibur too.

Wow, you seriously do love your Neo Geo. I'll check it out when I get home.

Wish I had known about that before making the video. Looks reasonably well made.

It's a very tough game.
