Game ends Saturday 3rd April 2010 10am GMT

Beef Drop

Note there are two versions - check the title screen shows Feb 2005, the .com file on atarimania is ok

Atarimania rating 7.5

I had a feeling this was too easy on the normal setting but I may be thinking of a clone Burger Time? so take the default options and see how we go

5200 - do a table now please

This game is definitely not too easy

middle Preppie!! 6500

I just got 10600. I'm not too thrilled with the collision detection in this. How can a pickle get me when I'm half way up the ladder?? (...now there's a sentence I never thought I'd be using)

I've never played this before, but I used to play Burger Time - in Apple II emulator on Amiga. That's probably the only game where the Apple version is better than Atari.

Please give me your address, so I may kill you.

No... I've just checked my schedule and I'm booked for the next few months. Your killing will have to wait. (...but maybe I can squeeze you in next Wednesday...)

I got to 25000 with 4 men left, then got killed 4 times quickly. It's a damn frustrating game.

My joystick button stopped working and I couldn't throw pepper!

Yeah, tell me about it. I think it's the game, not the joystick. I got killed many times because the pepper didn't work.

I told my wife, "the egg got me because the pepper didn't work!" Somehow, she just didn't understand.

What are the differences between this free demo version and the full commercial version?

[Cebus Capucinis]

38,200 a little better this time!



EDIT: D'oh! 100 points short of darthkur's score!

That's a very good question, I was going to ask was there an actual release of this so the next question is is there a file or ATR version of the full game anywhere... atarimania, fandal and atarionline.pl all have the 'demo' version


roadrunner wasn't joking then

[Cebus Capucinis]

There is a full release but it's cart-only and you likely can't find a ROM anywhere. This is a homebrew that was developed by Ken Siders for sale on AtariAge. You can buy it in the store, and it is likely since this is a homebrew with an active sale life right now there just isn't a dump of it anywhere, or if there is I'm not telling unless it would be okay to do so.

22800 not bad for a first session. I know I can do better though

The final released demo (should say something about cartridge being available from atariage) should be equivalent to the cartridge. Just special features and a different intro are on the cartridge version).

I wouldn't know, I've only ever used my cart I bought from the AA store

Thanks Ken, I didn't realise this, hopefully playing this will generate a bit of interest. Great work
Details here folks

23,000

[littleman jack]

You guys are killing me.
I've had it a few years and I've never topped the 38,000 mark.
I'm going to break it out this week and give it another go. It's quite difficult, yet really quite fun.

[therealbountybob]

30,800 Made it to level 4 for the first time... need to work on my pepper slaying technique as they've obviously perfected their chef slaying

[AB Positive]

36400 but starting to hit a wall. All I can think is more practice really.
