@@theodorehsu5023 playing the versions isn't hard by itself, since he's only playing the 1st level of each game, the hard part is getting all the versions to work
I played the Intellivision version as a kid, and thought it was a pretty good conversion. It must have been easier than the arcade version as I recall playing that a few times and usually lost all my lives on the first screen. Thanks for putting this compilation together.
1:59 The Aquarius didn't have programmable graphics it had a ROM with text characters and graphics elements that could not be changed. They contracted the design out to an outside company and it was designed to a price point even lower than a Vic-20. The engineers inside Mattel absolutely hated it and nicknamed it the "system for the 70's"
4:34 I did get a good laugh out of the "victory dance" Peter Pepper does in the Aquarius version, though. He taps into his inner Chubby Checker and does the twist, though in two frames of "animation."
So the graphics were made entirely by built in ROM character sets? Look at the graphics of the lettuce and burger patties. Looks non-standard character set to me. Maybe _some_ of the characters could be changed? (I know some early systems like the Sinclair ZX-80 and early Commodore PET systems really had no changeable character sets.)
I remembered that there was a version of Burger Time that can be played at Hardee’s website back in 2007 when Hardee’s advertised their Philly Cheesesteak Thickburger. The game was simply called “Burger Time” and they even used the same music. However, I remember that the music sounded similar to the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A version of Burger Time.
The emulation is really running fast on your Intellivision version. I've been playing that for years on original hardware and it doesn't move anywhere close to that fast. The NEC 8001 and Sharp X1 ports seem to be quite speedy too. I have no idea if that's normal for those or not. Burgertime is a great game. One of my favorites.
So is this the first appearance for the Aquarius on this channel? I didn't know it got any arcade ports, but I guess it makes sense in this case, since it looks like Mattel secured the rights to port this game to home consoles/computers. So it makes sense that Mattel would port the game to its own Aquarius computer.
There's also a Mattel LCD handheld from 1982 that's _not_ color or a mini arcade cab form factor; it's a tiny 4x3" black and white unit. I still have mine.
As others have mentioned, the intellivision port doesn’t run anywhere as fast on real hardware. The music is better on real hardware as well. I was rather impressed by the pc composite version. Never saw that and I had the game on a pc with composite. I just never used it.
I think I like the Colecovision 1984 version because it looks and plays closer to the Arcade Original! My least favorit is the NES and Famicom Disk System because the controls are stiff and there are more enemies than the arcade original. Both Colecovision and the Sharp X1 are my favorites!
I remember the Apple II version: I had it and got to be very good at it. Thing is, keyboard is easier to use than joystick at times. I think the Namco website about ten years ago still had free online games and one was Burgertime. I would have loved to have downloaded it before it was delisted. XSeed Games has “Burgertime Party!” that has cartoon graphics like Cuphead, while the XBox had I think a “Burgertime World Tour” before it was removed from their store. If you like Data East mash-ups,there is a game called “Heavy Burger” that is a tribute to Data East’s library of games. Players look like Peter Pepper and must carry a money bag from a starter screen to a screen with a bank branch they can enter (tribute to “Bad Dudes vs, DragonNinja”). But they must fight through several screens of classic Data East games to get there, and if they are killed with the money bag the other side can steal it and begin their trek to THEIR bank. Whoever gets the money bag inside their bank wins.
What's CGA Composite? Never heard about it before, it looks great. I didn't play any of BurgerTime versions, but so far I would like arcade, Famicom and GBC's Flintstones versions.
CGA graphic cards could also be connected via composite cable (the common yellow one) to NTSC TVs or comparable monitors, and then they could display 16 colours at once and not just 4 like the usual PC monitors of the time (mostly that horrible cyan magenta combination). This only worked on NTSC regions, PAL and SECAM were out of luck.
@@amerigocosta7452 Thanks for explanation. But one more question. Composite was universally supported or only handful of games/graphic programs supported it?
If your old enough to remember the 1950's TV ad campaign, that featured a dancing cigarette pack with a woman's legs, you probably thought of it looking at the Peter Pepper character in the Aquarius version. Not as much of a health issue as the green fungus growing on the hamburger patties in the Famicon version though.
Didn't know about The Flintstones one, however I own three homebrew ports that you missed. "Beef Drop" for the Atari 5200, "Beef Drop VE" for the Atari 7800, and "Beef Drop VE POKEY" for the 7800 (either with Pokey chip that you provide, or AtariAge's PokeyOne built into the cartridge).
o.O The Apple // had a version of this game?! Good gravy...when I was a kid, my parents were _not_ looking for the coolest games to get me! At least they got me Pacman, though!
For the Sharp X1 version, I just have 1 question. HOW LONG DID THEY EXPECT YOU TO PLAY IT? The pepper and round counts appear to reach the ten-thousand range, which is super ridiculous.
I've got to admit, the NES, MSX, and Deluxe (Game Boy, Game Boy Color (The Flintstones: Burger Time in Bedrock), and PC (Windows, Mac, and Linux)) versions are the best.
Siempre me quedare con el de nes, es el que mas me ha gustado y al que mas jugue. Un juego muy muy divertido y que me hacia picarme con mi hermano en sus buenos tiempos!
The Mattel Aquarius version doesn't look that great but the sound effects are spot on. The Atari 2600 version looks pretty atrocious but the gameplay is actually not too bad.
The version of Burger Time that you get to play dates back to the days of the Intellivision, which was a console far superior to the Atari 2600 at the time. Excelent Game !!!
At least Mattel weren't the rocks coleco was. Their version even tho a prototype looked good...versus the vomit coleco knowingly put out on intellivision and Atari for donkey Kong. That's what caused the video game crash in North America. Coleco
Intellivision is the best result. Not much people seem to know how to play this game : you have to assemble the opponents by tricking them through the stairs. For that you have to know when they turn and why : it depends on your position compared to the ladder they climb. Once they are all packed you guide them to the LOWEST bread or so available and make them fall all at the same time on the same bread. You get a special hyper bonus doing so. Repeat for each bread or so always lowest first. You clear the stage with an astronomic score and go to the next stage. Forgot to mention : doing what I explained they are all packed very close to you pursuing you all the time, so it might be easier with an 15 years old brain I had at that time :-)
BurgerTime was the first game I owned for NES outside of the Super Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge that came with the console and my nine year old self DESPISED this game from the minute I played it. I thought it was boring, tedious, unrewarding and the looping music was totally obnoxious! As an adult many years later, I have more of an appreciation for it, but I still think the music is totally obnoxious.😂
There's something wrong with the first PC version you showed. It's like you played the composite monitor version on a regular CGA monitor. It's not supposed to look garbled like that.
because of Data East’s license fees or the NES version probably wasn’t popular enough to make a GBA version Data East went bankrupt > G-Mode Corp owns the rights

I guess it wasnt made for games
Pretty comparable to the Sharp MZ-700
At least the sound and colors matched the arcade... YIKES on the specs, though....

I happened to search for Arcade vs NES BurgerTime differences and noticed this video was uploaded 9 hours ago. Amazing timing!
I still have my original Nintendo version.

Burgertime is a great game. One of my favorites.
The Flistones version made more sense than the original because their actual burgers were really that big ;)
I don't know or want to know anything about Aquarius but his victory animation was schmoovin'!
He was busting some sick moves

There is a Sharp Mz-1500 port of Burgertime and from the looks of it, it’s HamBurger and the same as the Sharp X1 Version but haven’t been dumped

Data East's food-themed game really impressive
Holy shit, the music for the Gameboy Color one is phenominal for a Flintstones game! That's like, Amiga Tracker levels of music!
The animation on the GBC Flinstone variation was dope! Was the new one that recently came out to diff to be in here?
It's still a fun game. I played the Atari 2600, NES & PS1 versions. 🍔
The NEC PC-8001mkII SR has nice music,
The tune @17:42 reminds me of Rainbow Islands :)
Where is the Oric-1 version?

I was always puzzled by the green on both the hamburger patties and the cheese on the NES/Famicon version.
Why was this showing of the Intellivision version speed up so weird??
i remember this game, nice good old game
I love the 80s
30:38 Little error. The main screen says windows. But the lateral panel says GBC.
En termino gráfico la versión de NES es la más parecida a la de Arcade. Siento yo que es la mejor de todas y mi favorita.
30:40 Wait....... why is up right called GBC? Is that playeble on the GBC?

Good News Guys I got the fujistu micro 7 controls and emulator to work properly
For the Sharp X1 version, I just have 1 question.
HOW LONG DID THEY EXPECT YOU TO PLAY IT?
The pepper and round counts appear to reach the ten-thousand range, which is super ridiculous.
I had no idea that there was a DOS version of this. Considering the CGA graphics, it's not actually that bad.
an updated Burger Time version has been announced for the intellivision amico
lol
Why was the Intellivision gameplay sped up?
AMAZING VIDEO
How did the Windows one at the end get it so wrong!?!
Also there's a really nice Atari 7800 version out there called Beef Drop, worth checking out.
Can you tell me what versions, besides SuperBurgertime, support two players coop?
Love the TI-99 and MSX versions the best. The black screen TI-99 is better than the Beta Blue.
my favorite version is intellivision and handheld and atari 2600
Wow, the NES version is like the arcade version.
The collision detection and overall difficulty is god awful though
So glad the 2009 'deluxe' added 5 minutes of cut scenes to a simple arcade game. Unnecessary.
There's also the world's smallest tiny arcade version
Is the DOS Composite one really CGA? It looks 16 colour EGA.
CGA cards could be hooked up to composite video (the yellow circle jack) and get 16 colors, though the horizontal resolution would be cut in half.
@@jamisreebirzick5872 Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for that.
17:13 The Pc-8001Mkll Version Is So Fast It Look Like The Chef Is Running On Ice It Took So Quick To Get Those Burger Done
Had the Atari 2600 version. Recall the commercial, and asking for it. I got it for either my birthday or xmas. I also liked Fast Food
i love how the gameboy one has been pokemonified :)
Yo lo jugué en una gamewach de bandai,muy entretenido el juego
Best arcade game ever.
Surprised that the C64 didn't seem to get an official version.

I preferred any version of the game where the music could be disabled.
Hey man, can you do the Flintstones one?
The Mattel Aquarius version doesn't look that great but the sound effects are spot on. The Atari 2600 version looks pretty atrocious but the gameplay is actually not too bad.
The colors and sounds were there. The computer's graphics system itself is what doomed the game overall.
@@elijahvincent985 Which one do you mean? Aquarius or Atari? Or both?
The first time I played this was on a Commodore 64. For some reason, that version is missing here
That was "Burger_Time" by Interceptor Micros, not an official Data East port
retrosutra, don't forget about the Atari 5200 and 7800 ports!
My favorite version is the Windows and MacOS version is so good than others...
Cool
Xevious - Versions Comparison?
Ooh! That's a good one! I love that game!
i played Xevious 3D/G
The Texas instruments TI-99 one seems like it would be so annoying with the constantly looping music
Only one that's missing is from the game and watch style hand held burgertime
This feel odd Went I’m Exploring Wreck it Ralph Games
Para mí el mejor Burger Time es la versión de Arcade👍👏👌🥇🏆.
