rennervision Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Finding a working version of BurgerTime is harder than I thought. Bought one off eBay where the screen had a lot of corrupted graphics and wouldn't start. Bought a second one off eBay where the screen looks fine but - again - won't start. (The reset switch has no effect. Tried the game in both a 2600 and 7800.) I remember when I was a kid I had a Kool Aid Man that just stopped working and ended up in the trash. Do M Network games have a limited lifespan? Or is there a slim hope of still being able to play this BurgerTime cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Man Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Make sure you have the left difficulty switch in the B position. In A it freezes the action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_79 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Yup. And the same is true for Kool-Aid Man! Read the manuals! 😃 Edited February 10, 2023 by alex_79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennervision Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 LOL Oh man - I hope I didn't throw away a rare Kool-Aid Man decades ago due to the difficulty switch in A! Well waddaya know, that was the problem. I'm now making burgers and outrunning squares of... something. Thanks everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBear89 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 This was my chuckle of the day. Ugly as this port is, it does have 5 different boards and all of the Burgertime elements are present. And the best feature of all as you now know.......you can pause the game during the action to grab another beer, Coke, or whatever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you REALLY want a Burgertime port you can be proud of, check out (and download) @splendidnut's now-nearly finished Chaotic Grill, and as for its sister arcade hit, Lock 'n' Chase, check out the new smash port from @RaymanC's all-new rendition of it, Lucky Chase. Both of those ports blow away the OG 1983 M Network versions by a country mile!!! And when I relaunch The Atari Report within a few months I intend to not only review Lucky Chase but also review the final version of Chaotic Grill when it is finished. BOTH deserve to be in your lineup, I suggest you PM @batari and inquire about getting yourself a Harmony Encore and download all these great games and then some for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 40 year old game "feature" also caught us out on PlusCart firmware testing recently. Thought there was a firmware bug, turned out the game needs that switch in the right position.
