  • Namco Networks Launches BurgerTime Delight [01.07.08]
  • NamcoPublisher and developer Namco Networks has announced the launch of its newest mobile title, BurgerTime Delight. The first title through its partnership with Japanese developer G-mode, Namco Networks mobile update of the arcade classic includes new and exclusive features such as new level backgrounds, new characters, mini-games and an enhanced mode.

    BurgerTime Delight follows the storyline of the arcade classic, BurgerTime, originally released in 1982 by Data East. Players assume the role of Chef Peter Pepper, whose goal is to build behemoth burgers by knocking each burger ingredient onto plates at the bottom of the screen. Each level introduces a variety of challenges for Peter, including being chased by enemies such as Mr. Hotdog, Mr. Egg and Mr. Pickle. Players can squash these foes with falling ingredients, stun them with pepper from a collected peppershaker or burn them with hot sauce.

    The arcade mode of the game maintains the same graphics and game play as the original arcade classic. Namco's enhanced mode introduces new content including updated graphics and eight new environments, including the inside of a freezer, an oven, a barbeque pit, a pastry display case, a diner tabletop and a dishwasher. Each level contains new dangers such as heat lamps, water droplets and icicles.

    BurgerTime Delight also includes two new enemies, Mr. Garlic and Mr. Carrot.

    "BurgerTime was such a popular 80s classic with addictive game play that it only made sense for Namco Networks to bring this property to mobile phones and enhance the game play for mass-market consumers to enjoy," said Scott Rubin, vice president of sales and marketing, Namco Networks. "G-mode has been a great partner for us and we are delighted to offer this mobile-only version of BurgerTime to casual mobile gamers."
