BurgerTime

It’s game on for Tastemakers’ Arcade1Up as the company surprised fans with the release of its limited-edition BurgerTime home arcade cabinet.

The first Arcade1Up release of the new year, this 3/4-scale home arcade game features a full-color, 17-inch display; two sets of controls with full-size joysticks and buttons; and three additional games: Karate Champ, Bad Dudes, and Caveman Ninja. Like the recent Marvel and Star Wars releases, BurgerTime includes a light-up marquee and matching riser, in addition to a unique shape that matches the original cabinet from the 1980s.

In BurgerTime, players help Chef Peter Pepper complete orders of hamburgers as they work through different mazes of increasing difficulty to complete the assembly of burgers while avoiding Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg

Only 3,000 cabinets have been produced. Preorders are open now for shipping in the U.S. and Canada beginning on March 1.

Arcade1Up has been leading the home arcade resurgence since its debut in fall 2018.
