Hey everyone, we are starting again with a clean slate! All that was old is new again, all games are fair...game. So if you are a long time veteran, or you just got your shiny new 4player cab all done, complete with angled joysticks, and every control known to man, all i can say is -
https://youtu.be/sUU5rMgSj_I?t=36sThe difference between this year's contest and previous years, is that
there will not be an ongoing points series, rather stand-alone two week contests.
We will stick to the same general rules, which are:
- One credit, no continues/save states/autofire/hacks etc.
- If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition among forum members
- Even if you don't *think* you have a competitive score, post it anyway to keep the thread fun & provide a good sense of score ranges.
- Only post scores that take place during the competition period (no posting your best score from last year, etc.).
- Some pausing is ok (after all, as someone else posted, many of us have kids/jobs/etc that require our focus)

From Arcade Museum:
The object of the game is for Peter Pepper to assemble four giant burgers without colliding with any pursuing hot dogs, eggs or pickles who appear in later stages. Peter Pepper has to climb up ladders and walk across ramps to get to each of the burger fixings which include buns, beef patties, lettuce leaves and sometimes tomato slices and cheese slices.
Peter Pepper has to walk across each of the burger fixings, so they will fall downward to the each of the lower ramps until they reach each of the plates below at the bottom of the screen. He must assemble all four burgers to advance to the next stage. As the hot dogs, eggs and pickles pursue him, he can stop them three different ways. He can throw a pinch of pepper on them to stun them and make them temporarily harmless, but his pinches of pepper are limited, so he will have to use it wisely. Additional pinches of pepper can be gained by getting bonus items the will occasionally appear on the screen temporarily including ice cream cones, french fries and cups of coffee.
Another way Peter Pepper can stop his pursuers is by crushing them with one of the burger fixings. He does this by dropping it onto them whenever they walk under it. The third way to stop them is by dropping them on one of the burger fixings whenever they walk onto it, this will also allow each of the burger fixings to fall two, three or four floors more depending on how many of them are on it. However the pursuers are put out of action, they will continue to walk around in each stage until all the burgers have been completely assembled.
The contest ends on Sunday January 14, at midnight, PST.
Enjoy, and happy gaming!
