Lets take a moment to appreciate how this dude spends his time playing like 1K versions of different games and is not insane, mass respect

I played the Intellivision version as a kid, and thought it was a pretty good conversion. It must have been easier than the arcade version as I recall playing that a few times and usually lost all my lives on the first screen. Thanks for putting this compilation together.

1:59 The Aquarius didn't have programmable graphics it had a ROM with text characters and graphics elements that could not be changed. They contracted the design out to an outside company and it was designed to a price point even lower than a Vic-20. The engineers inside Mattel absolutely hated it and nicknamed it the "system for the 70's"

I happened to search for Arcade vs NES BurgerTime differences and noticed this video was uploaded 9 hours ago. Amazing timing!

The strangest one has gone to be the Flintstones one because it is very different from the others

I love the Gameboy Version. It has a bit of lore and looks adorable

I remembered that there was a version of Burger Time that can be played at Hardee’s website back in 2007 when Hardee’s advertised their Philly Cheesesteak Thickburger. The game was simply called “Burger Time” and they even used the same music. However, I remember that the music sounded similar to the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A version of Burger Time.

The emulation is really running fast on your Intellivision version. I've been playing that for years on original hardware and it doesn't move anywhere close to that fast. The NEC 8001 and Sharp X1 ports seem to be quite speedy too. I have no idea if that's normal for those or not. Burgertime is a great game. One of my favorites.

I don't know or want to know anything about Aquarius but his victory animation was schmoovin'!

I think I like the Colecovision 1984 version because it looks and plays closer to the Arcade Original! My least favorit is the NES and Famicom Disk System because the controls are stiff and there are more enemies than the arcade original. Both Colecovision and the Sharp X1 are my favorites!

As others have mentioned, the intellivision port doesn’t run anywhere as fast on real hardware. The music is better on real hardware as well. I was rather impressed by the pc composite version. Never saw that and I had the game on a pc with composite. I just never used it.

Wow, the Gameboy one is pretty awesome looking! I think I like that one the best.

30:54 the little sign on the side says Gameboy Color when actually it’s Windows/macOS

So is this the first appearance for the Aquarius on this channel? I didn't know it got any arcade ports, but I guess it makes sense in this case, since it looks like Mattel secured the rights to port this game to home consoles/computers. So it makes sense that Mattel would port the game to its own Aquarius computer.

And I thought it's the game Bob Belcher played for hours :-)

There's also a Mattel LCD handheld from 1982 that's not color or a mini arcade cab form factor; it's a tiny 4x3" black and white unit. I still have mine.

I remember the Apple II version: I had it and got to be very good at it. Thing is, keyboard is easier to use than joystick at times. I think the Namco website about ten years ago still had free online games and one was Burgertime. I would have loved to have downloaded it before it was delisted. XSeed Games has “Burgertime Party!” that has cartoon graphics like Cuphead, while the XBox had I think a “Burgertime World Tour” before it was removed from their store. If you like Data East mash-ups,there is a game called “Heavy Burger” that is a tribute to Data East’s library of games. Players look like Peter Pepper and must carry a money bag from a starter screen to a screen with a bank branch they can enter (tribute to “Bad Dudes vs, DragonNinja”). But they must fight through several screens of classic Data East games to get there, and if they are killed with the money bag the other side can steal it and begin their trek to THEIR bank. Whoever gets the money bag inside their bank wins.

Holy shit, the music for the Gameboy Color one is phenominal for a Flintstones game! That's like, Amiga Tracker levels of music!

There is a Sharp Mz-1500 port of Burgertime and from the looks of it, it’s HamBurger and the same as the Sharp X1 Version but haven’t been dumped
