Nicely executed sequel to the excellent BurgerTime game by Data East.

Screen Shots |
Diner is an awesome game! As far as I have seen,
the screen scrolling between levels is unique to this game on the Intellivision.
As a sequel to BurgerTime, it's wonderful. The soundtrack is just as catchy as
BurgerTime's, and seems to be a natural - it preserves the feel. The graphics
are pretty good, but I do wish the food balls had some more variety to them.
Game play seems tougher than BurgerTime - it's difficult to tell if you can
sneak around a baddie. The gameplay field is a 3-D environment (e.g. you can
sneak behind baddies sometimes), and as an M.C. Escher-esque feel. This game is
LOTS of fun! Best Score: 265100 (Level 15) [Start: Level 1]

Title screen for Diner. |

Escher-esque game world is 3-D. It would have been even cooler if you could have entered into the areas that look like tunnels. The scrolling between levels is really cool, as are the nifty elevators and other goodies that come up as you progress. |

At some points in the game, you'll notice that the restaurant sign shows
"Ray's" as the name of the eatery. Is this a referral to Ray
Kaestner, one of the original BurgerTime developers as well as one of Diner's developers?
