BurgerTime/Versions

Apple II
Developed and published by Mattel Electronics in 1983.

Atari 2600

Only the hot dog and Peter are recognizable. The remaining enemies are two growing squares and a single French-fry.

Atari 5200 & 7800
AtariAge user Ken "kenfused" Siders ported Burgertime to the Atari 5200 and Atari 7800, giving it the name Beef Drop. Burgertime was ported to many home game consoles and computer systems, but it never found a home on the Atari 5200 until now. While a disk-based version of Burgertime was released for the Atari 8-bit computers, this version has been written from scratch to be more faithful to the arcade version than the older 8-bit port. This new version of Burgertime began life as an April Fool's joke in our Atari 5200 Forum and quickly turned into a real homebrew development effort. Ken Siders is also responsible for the Atari 7800 conversion of Q*bert, named bonQ.

Commodore 64
Mr. Wimpy was published in 1984 by Ocean Software for various popular computer systems in England, including the Commodore 64 and the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It contained more than one level of gameplay, with the second level resembling BurgerTime. The first leveled involved collecting the ingredients from an open play field. The game was made as a promotion for the Mr. Wimpy hamburger franchise.

MSX
Developed and published by Aackosoft International in 1986. Sold predominantly where Dempa's official conversion wasn't widely available.

TI-99/4A
A slightly less than accurate conversion of the arcade game, developed by DataBiotics in 1983.
