Barmy Burgers is an interesting and novel game. On each level there are parts of three hamburgers - the meat, cheese, lettuce, and the top of the bun.

By walking over each part, you knock them down to the next level until eventually there are three completed burgers at the bottom of the screen.

You are pursued by two frankfurters and a peculiar white object - but they often seem to be in a state of paralysis. You are armed only with a pepper pot - fire and your opponents die, but you only have enough pepper to last five attacks.

Once you have completed three hamburgers you move onto a new stage with shorter ladders, faster action, and a new pepper pot.

The graphics are average - with the exception of the pin-man you control who has legs only a contortionist would be proud of - but they are far from smooth. The sound is good though, and enhances the game considerably.

No instructions were provided with the review copy, but the cursor keys and 0 to fire are used. The game restarts automatically - an annoying feature.
