Introduction
The Fast Food Industry has penetrated every nook and cranny of everyday life. In the past just as we have had House Builders, Bridge Builders, Midnite Masons (Wall Builders), now one of the most honored professions is ... BURGER BUILDER! Your job as head of your fast food franchise is to generate ever greater profits in honor of free enterprise, the American spirit and your pocketbook. Speed and agility are the ticket as some of the items used have mutated, and after being rehydrated (water added) from their freeze-dried shipping condition become very active. To preserve your profits (and you), burgers are their biggest attraction. Build those burgers fast enough and - NO PROBLEM, otherwise it's goodbye for your fast food franchise ... and you.
Setup
- Insert the module into the slot on the console. Turn the computer ON, and wait for the master title screen to appear.
- Press any key to make the master selection list appear. Press the key corresponding to the number beside BURGER BUILDER. Note. To remove the module, power OFF the computer. Then remove the module from the slot. Make sure the ALPHA LOCK is OFF.

Either the keyboard, or joystick 1 may be used to start the play and launch the ball.
Game Progression
Press REDO or FIRE to begin play. Use the joystick or keyboard arrow keys (S,D,E,X) to guide the chest around the ladders and platforms.
