It may not be quite the same at McDonald's, but making burgers computer-style is fun. On the other hand, it's extremely unhygienic, because the technique involves walking over pieces of bun, meat and lettuce which are suspended at various points around a zany maze-like kitchen.

Treading over them makes them fall down a level and if you repeat this enough times you end up with four complete and juicy burgers at the bottom of the screen.

The complication is that you're being chased around the kitchen by Mr Hot Dog and Miss Egg who knock you out on contact. Your defence is to stun them momentarily by squirting a cloud of pepper into their path. Unfortunately your supply of pepper is very limited, and each time you complete a set of burgers, an extra egg or hot dog will join the chase.

It was a good game in the arcades, and this rendering by Interceptor is excellent. Mouth-watering picture, appetising sound effects and a delicious rendering of the McDonald's tune. But you'll have to put up with Interceptor's continuing infantile snipes at Llamasoft - you are supposed to be making burgers from llama meat!
