Burger Time is a 1982 Data East platform classic, in which Peter Pepper runs across vertical scaffolds dropping ingredients onto the heads of animated pursuers -sausages, fried eggs, pickles- to assemble giant burgers while dodging or peppering them. It's one of the most fondly remembered action-and-evasion platformers of the golden age, with clever level design that remains fun today. Its influence shows in the huge number of later games that copied its "trap and flee" formula.
