So my girlfriend has always talked about this video game she used to play as a kid (circa 1985), and I've been desperately trying to find it for her. Her memory, like mine, is pretty awful, so there aren't a lot of details. She says she owned an Atari, so I assume it was on that console. From her description, your character's goal is to collect various food items dropping. She's settled on the fact that these food items included french fries, strawberries, and milkshakes. There may be others, like hamburgers and hotdogs, but she's not 100% sure. Can anyone help?

I've already determined it's not Burger Time, Beef Drop, Food Fight, Plaque Attack, Mega Mania, Commander Keen, Bubble Bobble, Wonder Boy, Rootbeer Tapper, or Fast Food.

More details: Apparently the screen had food items of the same type (strawberries). As soon as you fulfilled the level requirement, the food items would change into a different type (french fries).

Flame advisory: Look, I know this is a tall order, and I'm thankful for any help you can give. Most of these games are almost a surefire match for her description, and I've done my best to convince her that those are the games without any success. I'm super frustrated that I can't find the game myself; that's why I posted in hopes you ATOTs could help out. If you can't, kindly move on.

Can you describe the gameplay? Collecting food for points is vague as hell.

Yes, the description is very vague. That's my dilemma. Although, she says that collecting food was the sole object of the game. And the food items would fall from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Not that positive. I just assumed it was Atari and might have inadvertently convinced her that it was an Atari game by the facts she gave. It could certainly be on another console. Do you have a non-Atari game in mind that matches the description?

You should try and narrow it down to a certain console. Ask her about the controllers; what type they were, how they looked.

I've tried this. I've showed her pictures of all the consoles and controllers she's owned in her lifetime, and each time, it's "yeah, that one could be it," or, "I don't remember!" So far, this list consists of: Atari, Sega Master System, and the NES.

Well, the Intellivision controllers are fairly unique with their disc and keypad.
