The paper, Reinventing Social realism: The structuralist paradigm of context in the works of Fellini by C. Jean-Michel la Tournier of the Department of Sociolinguistics, University of California and Stephen U. C. Prinn of the Department of Ontology, University of Illinois reviews the structuralist paradigm of context and posttextual theory and discusses narratives of absurdity. From the paper, "Thus, several theories concerning realism may be found. Posttextual theory holds that academe is part of the rubicon of reality.
It could be said that the subject is interpolated into a realism that includes narrativity as a totality. Sartre uses the term 'the structuralist paradigm of context' to denote not narrative as such, but subnarrative.
Therefore, an abundance of discourses concerning the common ground between sexuality and sexual identity exist. Marx uses the term 'Derridaist reading' to denote the dialectic, and eventually the absurdity, of postpatriarchialist society."
The ensuing forum discussion on fark.com includes review of a bogus essay that two French scientists wrote about in response to the missuse by Lacan and Derrida (among others) of mathematical phenomena to prove various positions in their writings. It also includes a lot of people commenting that they don't understand what's going on. And most importantly, ironicbutterfly posted a link to the Three Tenets of Burgertime.

Thanks for the link ironicbutterfly. You are a true sage. ;-)
There is nothing "pseudo-archetypical" about Chef Pepper and the dropping of the buns. We believe that Transactiod put it best when they wrote, "In this day and age of persiflage and pedagogic agitprop, there exists no shortage of corpusant leaders and existential zymologists. All of whom propogate the bumptious iconoclast."

Recently some friends and I took astroll down memory lane and began talking about Burger Time. Imagine my surprise when I found a web site devoted to the game. More surprising were the other games listed here. Reminds me of the countless amount of money I spent at arcades.
Do you know if the ROM's are available for Spy Hunter, Tron (I could not get the ROM on your site to run) and Track and Field?
If not, no need to respond. Thanks for the resource.
B-star
pontifex maximus responds:
You can find the ROMs you seek at http://www.mame.dk/
I found Spy Hunter but putting Spy Hunter in the Navigator search box and Track and Field by entering Track. The ROM name is trackfld. To find Tron, search for Tron. There are two ROMs to download. You'll need the newest version of MAME to play these.
Our version of Tron is for the 3.x MAME. You'll need the newer vrsion for the 5.x MAME versions.
ONWARD!
Thank you Bartt and Allison. the church of burgertime is pleased to provide you with all we know about the game that is burgertime.

excellent website! do you think mame will ever emulate that peter pepper ice cream game?
pontifex maximus responds:
You need the new version of MAME (.55) and three ROM files. They are now on the site. Install the new version of MAME and get all 3 ROMs and put them in your ROMs directory. They are at the Holder of the Sacred ROM
Note: when Peter Pepper's Ice Cream Factory first loads, the DECO cassette has to load. This takes about 3 minutes, just like on the arcade games.
Enjoy and ONWARD!
Thank you and YES, they have.

Once I download the zipped file and unzip it, how do I start the program?
pontifex maximus responds:
on your windows 95 - 98 machine, you unzip the MAME files into a
subdirectory called MAME (you might have to create this subdirectory).
Once you do that, there should be a file in there called mame32.exe. That
is the file you click on to start the arcade emulator. To play burgertime
or any of the other games, you need to download the ROM file for that game
and put it in the subdirectory in MAME called ROMS. Then when you start
mame32.exe, you should see the game there. Just double click on the name of
the game and it should start. Use the 1-3 number keys to put coins in, Esc
to see the keyboard setup, and the arrow keys to move around. Ctrl is for
throwing pepper.
Hope this helps. ENJOY!
ONWARD!

Classic Gaming News The Church of Burger Time?
Links to this site have been floating around the forums for a few days now, and it looks like it has just been updated, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to make sure everybody gets a chance to check it out. The site in question is: The Church of Burger Time. I don't know if it's a religion or a cult, but so long as Burger Time is involved, sign me up. New sections include:
a guest book
The history section in particular seems to have more information than I ever thought I'd want to know about Burger Time. You'll have to visit to get the full effect of the site, which is actually much creepier than I'm letting on.

Jorpho, The Screaming Z80
It just occurred to me... I read somewhere recently that fried eggs are actually not an uncommon hamburger item in Japan, thus explaining the origins of Burgertime's yolkèd gorgon. Of course, I wouldn't know if that's definitely true.
Atari Addict, [GSF] Mamma Mia!
I know in his book "Dave Barry Goes To Japan", Dave Barry describes ordering a hamburger which had pieces of corn in it, so that egg story isn't totally inconceivable.
phoenix, A Winner Is Me!
Reading about fried eggs in burgers evokes in me the image of a cross between an Egg McMuffin and a big Mac. Help!!! :P
pontifex maximus responds:
FUN FACT: Many people ask why one of the bad guys in BurgerTime is an egg. The arcade game was developed in Japan where many fast-food restaurants give the popular option of adding a fried egg to your burger.

I've been thinking the same thing actually. You've inspired me. I'm currently laid off from my dot com job and I've got time so what the hell, I'll do it. There are so many awesome sites to this game that we love, but there isn't ONE place with all the incarnation of burgertime. We're gonna do it.

First of all, kick ass site. There needs to be more exposure to the Chef known as Peter Pepper.
I was looking through your guestbook, and I noticed something about "...post a high score higher than Ken's." Who is this Ken fellow, and what is his high score? I hate to change gears this fast, but I've been working with CK Montana from burgertime.cjb.net and I've written the strategies for him, and ever since I've been scouring the Internet for any hidden Burger Time players. If it's possible, I'd like to know what level this Ken fellow got to; from what I've seen, most experts can get to Level 21 and freeze, but I've managed level 27.
Anyway, thank you for your time. Once again, a kick ass site!
Sincerely,
J.D. Lowe
pontifex maximus responds:
Thank you for your kind words.
KEN was the first acolyte of the church of burgertime. He is one of the first 5 disciples of chef pepper.
When the ROM is first booted, the Best Five Players High Scores are:
KEN 28000 PTS
The following words from the Holy Manual of the Arcade Game of the church of burger time apply today as much as they have throughout the ages:

Tell us more about your journey to the 27th level. You may very well be a prophet of the church. You are obviously someone who is with Chef. Thank you again for your kind words. Can the church link to your strategies?

John, I'm curious if I can get Burger Time (the game) for PC. I used to play it as a kid and now I have kids and I stumbled onto your website. I showed my kids the game screen posted on your website and told them how you play the game they are interested in it. If you could hook me up with a website where I can download Burger Time I would be very appreciative.
Thank You Sir,
Eric
pontifex maximus responds:
If you're talking about a CD where you can install the game on your PC, I don't think that exists. I spent the night looking and the closest thing I've seen is BurgerTime in Bedrock - a Flintstone's spinoff of the game which you can get on amazon.com.
I am certain that if anyone put together a store CD of the game, it would be a great seller. It is a game that speaks to all of us.
For now, you can install the MAME on a PC though, and both that and the BurgerTime ROM are free. You can't legally sell it which is good. It keeps people playing the old school arcade games. If you need some help installing it, let me know.
And thank you for your question. After doing the research I'm now putting together a history page of the game in all its incarnations.

select the link to MAME for Win95/8 and get Mame.zip. Download this on to your computer.
when it is on your computer, use WinZip to Unzip (un compress the file). You should be able to just click on Mame.zip to do this.
Then select Setup and install MAME on your hard drive.
There will be a subdirectory in the MAME directory called ROMS
You then will go to
this will download btime.zip onto your computer
Again, Unzip the file and put it in your MAME/ROMs subdirectory
Then start MAME. You go to the MAME subdirectory and click Mame32.exe. this will launch MAME.
You will see a window with all the games listed. Click on Burger time and it will start.
