One of my favorite classic
arcade games...
Food Fight was released in 1982 by
Atari, Inc. to arcades and later became available for the
Atari 7800. The serial number for the
Food Fight cartridge is CX7804 (Thanks to
TheBooBooKitty). In the game the
player controls Charlie Chuck in a rectangular field with holes and piles of
food, and attempts to reach a melting
ice cream cone on the other side of the playing field. In the way are 4
chefs, Zorba, Jacques, Angelo, and Oscar, and to defend yourself from them you have to pick up
food from the playing field and throw it at them. The 5 types of throwable
food are,
peas,
bananas,
tomatoes,
pies, and
watermelon (the only food item that had an unlimited supply). The
player lost a life if he/she was caught by a
chef, hit by a thrown
food item (from one of the
chefs), fell in a hole, or if the
ice cream cone melted before the
player reached it. Like most classic
arcade games,
Food Fight has no definate ending, but the highest level was 125 and after that you play through a random level.
