Burger Person
A fast food restaurant. Mostly the waiting part.
Burger Person is a multiplayer 8-bit game that runs in your browser. You make a person, you get in line with everyone else who is there, and you wait. Eventually you reach the register. You order. You sit down and eat. That is the game.
How a visit goes
You are dropped off outside. You walk in and join the back of the line. The line moves when the people ahead of you are done, and not before. If you doze off, the people behind you may step around you.
At the register you have a short time to order. Then you get a number, you wait for it to be called, you carry your tray to a table, and you eat. Afterwards you can put your tray away or leave it for someone else. You get a receipt either way.
The Menu
There are 151 items on The Menu. Six of them are always for sale: a burger, a cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, a soda and a milkshake. The other 145 turn up as lunch specials and limited time items.
Every item has a fixed supply. Some are common. Some are rare. A few were made fifteen times and will never be made again. When an item sells out, it is gone for good, and The Menu says so.
Your own copy of The Menu keeps track of what you have seen and what you have had. The idea is to collect all 151.
What it costs
Getting in line costs nothing. The food costs money. Real money: from $1.00 to $3.00 an item before tax, paid by card at the register. You can order one of each item per visit.
Who is in line
Everyone is in the same restaurant at the same time. There is one line. You cannot skip it.
Is it any good
No. It may be the worst game ever made, and that is on purpose. It is slow and cumbersome, and it belongs on any list of bad games.
Who made this
Burger Person is number 022 of the 100 Cigarettes Project, a series of one hundred small releases. You can save your Menu to a 100 Cigarettes account so it follows you to any phone.
