BSA Starfire Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I really want to play Burgertime on my telly, but don't have Intellivision and don't want to pay the £40+ on ebay for the console & them spend months hunting out a PAL Burgertime cart(they seem very rare over here in the UK). The Aquarius is even less of an option as it is yet more expensive, £50+ with little hope of getting the cart anyhow. I understand the NES played host to a good version, but I don't own a NES either and think Burgertime was not realeased in a PAL version, or if it was it's damn rare. Is there a cheap NES clone with the Burgertime built in I can get hold of for reasonable money in PAL? Was it released in a playable version on GB, GBC or GBA? Maybe on a retro collection for the PS1(PAL)? Perhaps one of the old retro computers I have played host to a decent version? I have Atari XE GS(so it would have to be a cart), Dragon 32, Spectrum and ORIC, also Atari ST. How about the later consoles? I have 360, Xbox, Gamecube, GBA, Gameboy color and PS1. Any help appreciated, Chris P.S. I have the 2600 version, just want something a little more like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest getting a ColecoVision and getting Burgertime for it, but from the above, it seems out of range of your budget...

Inky Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wasnt the ColecoVision/CBS version released in PAL format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Starfire Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for the comments, I just don't really want to buy another console just for the one game. I think Beef Drop for the store might be my answer if it works well in PAL. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wasnt the ColecoVision/CBS version released in PAL format? The thing to know about ColecoVision carts is that they work on any NTSC or PAL console. So you can play US CV carts on a PAL console with no real problem. Burgertime was released in PAL territories (in its own european-style box) but the software inside the cartridge is exactly the same as the US version.

thefcpguy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 There's an Apple II port of Burgertime that's better than the 2600 available online here: http://virtualapple.org/burgertimedisk.html It runs in Flash in a browser- performance is good on my little MSI Wind netbook. Cheers, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefcpguy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You can also Google "burgertime flash" (without quotes) and find a handful of other Flash versions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Starfire Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks Bill, never realized the Apple 2 was such an adept game platform. My dad used to own a Apple 11 europlus with a TRS80 mono monitor, think we only had Flight sim 2 for it however. I'm really after something I can play crashed on the couch after work and pass the stick about. But nevertheless thanks again, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Was it released in a playable version on GB, GBC or GBA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azJFFwddfPM Burgertime Deluxe (Gameboy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bFWZFdwjKQ Flintstones Burgertime in Bedrock (Gameboy Color) If you have a GBA flash cartridge (a inexpensive cart can be found for 10-20 dollars), you could emulate the NES version with PocketNES.

Lauren Tyler Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Great Apple 2 Burgertime emulation. Remember playing that at my old school awhile back. (Does anyone know if you can emulate the joystick via keyboard or do you need a real one?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 if you've an a8 somewhere there were a couple of PD burgertime variants released, burger chef (Gordon Kakegamic) and burgers (bruce barney) as well as Doug Crockford's 'Burgers !' effort, can't remember if any were any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Actually you can play Us versions of the games on your PAL INTV as well. I must say Burger Time is probably one of the easiest to find games for the Intellivision, at least here in Sweden it seems that Burger Time is always in the bunch if you buy a couple of Intellygames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Starfire Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I got the Gameboy Color Burtime in Bedrock and it's a cracking little game! That's my need for Burgertime sated, thanks all. It looks really great on the Gamecube's, gameboy player on our big telly too. Yaaaaay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 IIRC, there's a Burgertime clone for Linux called "Burgerspace" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupanIII Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So, I was fascinated to find that the sequel to Burgertime is an Intelivision Exclusive called Diner, and it puts Burgertime in an iso 3d world like Escape From The Planet of The Robot Monsters or Zaxxon. Has anyone seen a fan remake of that for other platforms? I have been looking, figured i'd ask since I happened upon this thread. Thanks!

+Torrax Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 BurgerTime: World Tour is available on the PS3, XB360, and WII systems. Through their respective online stores/services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 BurgerTime: World Tour is available on the PS3, XB360, and WII systems. Through their respective online stores/services. That game was pulled from sale quite a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That game was pulled from sale quite a while ago. Available or not, I never personally cared for it. I thought the visuals were of the kind of cheap and ugly variety and the gameplay didn't really pass muster. It's unfortunate, because I think there was the possibility for a very good game with the direction that they were going in and didn't quite execute on. Sadly, these modern reimaginings of classic games rarely go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Besides the Intellivision port, the TI version is among the best ever. Probably cheaper to pick up a TI-99/4A and Burgertime than any other system too. 'Course, best recommendation as always is to save your money until you can afford the stuff you really want.

Opry99er Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 ^^THIS^^ The TI-99/4A version is spectacular, compared to most others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
