The great Burger Chef!

I may consider this game a Hit for what it provided and how much fun I got out of it... It is really a Classic.

Though a classic, I still hate how awful you can get stuck on One measly pixel that blocks you from moving to any direction! I love this game, but that small bit really triggers …

A Classic Arcade Game That Deserves All Its Praise!

Look: 9/10 Cute graphics, great chef graphic and burger graphics lol. The french fries graphic is beautiful, too. Omg and lol! The egg running around! I love eggs on my burgers.

Sound: 6/10 Unnecessary, and unnecessarily loud, boops and beeps are always meh to me. The music was cute enough, but for the most part the arcade sounds were annoying …

Sound: 6/10 Unnecessary, and unnecessarily loud, boops and beeps are always meh to me. The music was cute enough, but for the most part the arcade sounds were annoying and loud. I wont include this in the rating, because I did enjoy this game a lot and could just as easily mute it.

Play: 8/10 Fun physics to the game for sure. Loved watching the buns flop down and hit the lettuce, etc. I felt pretty good at this, once I got a hang of what the heck was going on ha. Always funny approaching a game with no context or knowledge, nor access to the Internet. I had a lot of fun playing this! Playful concept, well-executed, difficult but approachable. Good stuff.

Feel: 9/10 Lol Chef Peter Pepper - - gotta love it. Mmmm this made me hungry for a burger. Lol "don't waste peppers" -- k. And indeed they were right. Once I discovered the pepper function, I got much further--but also wasted them indeed ha. Fun getting to know the game, fun feeling pretty good at it, goofy playful humorous watching an egg and some red peppers chase me all at once, simple functional controls--lots of good things to say!

Attachment: 8/10 I certainly will be replaying this, already have an itch to! Not a favorite favorite or anything, but a super solid arcade game. Much better than the other platform+ladders genre I've seen so far in the chronology project, plus such a unique concept and cute graphics.

Played this a lot on a hand-me-down Intellivision (the original owners had upgraded to an NES).
