BurgerTime is a platform game developed by Data East and released for the Intellivision by Mattel Electronics in 1983. Players control Chef Peter Pepper, who must assemble hamburgers by walking over the ingredients scattered across various platforms. As he moves, the ingredients fall down to the next level, and a completed burger is formed when all its components reach the plate at the bottom.
The game features several levels, each with a different layout of platforms and ingredients. Players must avoid or neutralize enemy foods, including Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg, which chase Chef Pepper throughout the maze-like environment. Using pepper to stun enemies temporarily is crucial for survival.
Each level becomes progressively more challenging, with faster and more aggressive enemies, requiring players to plan their movements carefully. The game offers both single-player and two-player alternating modes, allowing for competitive play.
