About this product

Product Information

Fast food was never faster than at the "The Grille," the most popular hamburger joint in the city. As Short-Order Sam, you must fill the orders coming in from those picky customers. Some want just a burger. Some want cheese, tomato, or lettuce. Some want cheese and tomato...it gets very confusing. And to make matters worse, the food dispenser keeps spitting out condiments while the open flame oven keeps placing more burgers on the conveyer belt. You've got to be mighty quick to be successful at Pressure Cooker.

The game opens with Sam in the middle of the assembly room. Above him is the grill, which makes the burgers; to his right is the condiment dispenser; to his left is the conveyer belt and below him the electronic order board as well as the entranceway to the wrapping room.

The electronic order board displays three customers' orders. Sam can assemble any of the orders shown. Lettuce, cheese, onions, tomatoes, and buns tops fly out of the chutes on right. To catch a condiment, Sam must line up his belly with the condiment. If it hits his head or feet, it will fall to the ground and Sam will lose a point from his performance rating (more on this later). If an unwanted condiment is being hurled at you, Sam can bounce it back by holding down the fire button when it hits him.

After catching a condiment, Sam places it on a burger on the conveyer belt. When a customer's order has been properly filled, a bun top will fly out of the food dispenser, and Sam must place on top of the burger.

To deliver a completed burger to the customer, Sam must head down to the wrapping room and drop it either in the red, green, or blue chute. The proper chute is determined by the color displayed on the electronic order board.

Sam begins the game with 50 performance points. Points are deducted when Sam makes a mistake, like missing a condiment or letting a burgers fall off the conveyer belt. The game ends when Sam's performance points reaches zero. Sam gains ten points every time his score reaches 10,000. Score points are awarded for good performance, such as completing burgers and catching condiments.

Each wave consists of 12 customer orders. Successive waves become more difficult as customers order more complex burgers and the food travels faster.

Pressure Cooker (Activision/Atari 2600 game)
I recently purchased a reconditioned Atari 2600 system as I missed the fun of it from my younger days. Sure I could have purchased a Wii or XBox with their amazing graphics and sound (and confusing controllers), but I wanted something simple. Needless to say, I had to purchase some games for my system. I wanted some of my old favorites (Pitfall, Kaboom and Battlezone to name a few) as well as some games that I might have missed from "back in the day". I went to a few websites to read some reviews of old 2600 games. It is at one of these websites where I first found out about Pressure Cooker. It sounded fun and interesting, so I found a good used cartridge here on eBay and bought it. I'm glad I did. At first, I was a little confused. However, after playing it numerous times, I got a better grip on it. You are a short-order cook at a burger joint and need to prepare hamburgers to order. There are different condiments (tomato, lettuce, onion & cheese) that need to go on the burgers. On the bottom part of the screen, a menu detailing which burgers need which condiments is shown. The burgers come down from the oven on a conveyor belt. The condiments come out in random order. To catch a condiment, you need to make sure it hits you in the head or stomach, anywhere else, and you lose a point. Also, once you have placed the correct topping on the burger, the other bun comes out. You catch it the same way. The menu below shows 3 colors for the different "wrapping stations" to take your completed burger. You take your completed burger to the wrapping room and drop it down the correct shoot (either green, red or blue). Should you not drop the burger correctly in the shoot, you lose 5 points (you start the game with 50 "quality points" and lose 1 point for each wasted condiment, 5 points for each misplaced burger and 10 points for unfinished burgers that fall off the bottom of the conveyor belt. Your score is based on the catching of the condiments and placing of the burgers in the chutes. Once you have used up your 50 points, the game is over. The score and "quality points" are two different things. After each level, the game gets progressively more difficult. The burgers can have multiple toppings and the missing bun might not come right away. The rules and play of the game might sound confusing at first, but after some trial and error, you'll get the hang of it. There are only 2 small criticisms of the game. One, there is quite a long song at the beginning before you can start playing. Also, the controls might not be as tight as one would hope. Condiments you may think you have end of bouncing off you and placing burgers in the chutes sometime have similar issues. However, the graphics (for the 2600) are excellent and the game is fun.Read full review

Fun but hard
Pressure Cooker is Fun but I'm not very good at it yet, I used to have it and don't remember it being so hard, I guess I just have to get good at it again. One of the few good games on the Atari.
