Burger Chase (1984)
Burger Chase is a Burger Time clone for Commodore 64 released in 1984. It was developed by Elite Systems and published by Mastertronic. The game is very similar to Burger Time, but with a few key differences.
Gameplay
The goal of Burger Chase is to create burgers by assembling the ingredients in the correct order: patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bun. You control a chef who can move around the screen, picking up ingredients and placing them on the buns. Once a burger is complete, it must be delivered to the customer at the top of the screen.
The game is played against a timer, and the player must complete as many burgers as possible before time runs out. There are also a variety of obstacles that can hinder the player’s progress, such as enemies, conveyor belts, and slippery floors.
Differences from Burger Time
There are a few key differences between Burger Chase and Burger Time. First, Burger Chase has a more maze-like level design. The levels are more complex and interconnected, and there are more obstacles to avoid.
Second, Burger Chase has a different enemy AI. The enemies in Burger Chase are more aggressive and will often chase the player around the screen. This makes the game more challenging and requires the player to be more strategic in their movements.
Finally, Burger Chase has a different scoring system. In Burger Time, the player scores points for completing burgers and for defeating enemies. In Burger Chase, the player only scores points for completing burgers. This makes the game more focused on speed and efficiency.
Reception
Burger Chase was released to mixed reviews. Some critics praised the game’s challenging gameplay and addictive nature, while others criticized its repetitive gameplay and lack of innovation. However, the game was a commercial success, selling over 100,000 copies.
Legacy
Burger Chase is one of the most popular Burger Time clones ever released. It is still enjoyed by many retro gamers today. The game has been ported to a variety of platforms, including the PC, Amiga, and ZX Spectrum.
Conclusion
Burger Chase is a fun and addictive Burger Time clone for Commodore 64. It is not as polished as the original, but it is still a great way to waste some time. If you are a fan of Burger Time or other classic arcade games, then you should definitely check out Burger Chase.
