Business is booming at "The Grille". Hamburger orders are just pouring in. But back in the Assembly Room, the Food Dispenser is pouring out condiments everywhere. Help Short-Order Sam fill each order with the proper combination of tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cheese. And don't forget the bun! Then, rush the completed orders to the Wrapping Room fast. Alright cooks, grab your spatulas!

What's that? You don't have the manual? Well, then you can always check out this typed copy of the manual hosted right here at AtariAge.

What's that? You're too lazy to click that link? Well, here's some hints from the manual:

- The Automated Food Services Silver Kitchen waits for no cook. Of course, neither do customers. Here are some tips I use to keep the customers happy and take some pressure off myself.

- First of all, keep moving. The open-flame oven never stops cooking, so you never have time to just stand around. Run to the conveyor belt and place the condiment on the hamburger. After dropping a hamburger into a wrapping chute, hurry back to the Assembly Room. Don't waste time watching the order fall into the sack.

- Also, it is important to remember that the Food Dispenser only throws out one condiment at a time. So, if there is one in particular that you need, then move closer to the dispenser and reject the ones that you don't need. It'll really speed things up, and you'll get the condiment that you need sooner.


- Lastly, there will be times when you catch a condiment that you don't want. When that happens, place it on the hamburger at the top of the conveyor belt and hope the next order will need it. But more importantly, try not to catch any useless condiments.

(The manual)</td></tr><tr bgcolor="#F5F5F5"><td>
memorize the order of the food chutes (green, red, blue) to drop a completed burger as quickly as possible. This might not sound like much, but those extra seconds if you keep having to doubleback will add up, and time is the essence of this game.

(Fellow Atari Man)</td></tr><tr bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><td>
when things get too fast and you're sure you can't keep up, let the bottom burger go. Put the toppings on the second burger on the list. You will loose one burger, but you will only lose one and you will then be ahead on your orders for a few moments.

Also, on level 2 or higher, it is sometimes a good idea to bounce the top of the burger back. They frequently give you one when one of the burgers doesn't require any toppings AND you've already put one topping on another burger. If you don't bounce the top of the burger back you won't have time to fill the other order before it reaches the bottom. There will always be time later to fill the blank order.

(gospeedde)</td></tr></table>

Good luck everyone!

I can't even get the game to start. Why does StellaX play in such a small window?! There's no way to play bigger?! Very hard to see it's so small.

Dang, I agree with gospeedde, this variation is pretty tough! Not gonna much of a showing from me here, due to being busy this week...

A tip: memorize the order of the food chutes (green, red, blue) to drop a completed burger as quickly as possible. This might not sound like much, but those extra seconds if you keep having to doubleback will add up, and time is the essence of this game.

Yay, I finally got through the third level. 31,070.

My tip is that when things get too fast and you're sure you can't keep up, let the bottom burger go. Put the toppings on the second burger on the list. You will loose one burger, but you will only lose one and you will then be ahead on your orders for a few moments.

Also, on level 2 or higher, it is sometimes a good idea to bounce the top of the burger back. They frequently give you one when one of the burgers doesn't require any toppings AND you've already put one topping on another burger. If you don't bounce the top of the burger back you won't have time to fill the other order before it reaches the bottom. There will always be time later to fill the blank order.

I can't get any buns in second level. :(

I must of bounced off 10 toppings waiting on a bun to shoot out & nothing. I keep loading my burgers up & waiting for the top, til they fall off, cuz no top bun, no pick up no wrap. This is one Activision I've not played very much at all.

This is the best I've done so far:
