Pressure Cooker is a video game for the Atari 2600 designed by Garry Kitchen and released by Activision in 1983. The player is a short-order cook at a hamburger stand who must assemble and package hamburgers to order without letting ingredients or hamburgers fall to the floor.
Kitchen made three earlier games for the Atari 2600, including Keystone Kapers with Activision. He developed the game idea after seeing burgers moving out on a conveyor belt at a Burger King. Upon the game’s release, contemporary reviews in found the game relatively unoriginal, while other reviews complimented its graphics.
In the assembly room, the player must collect the right ingredients and assemble the hamburger.
Once a hamburger is assembled, the player then enters the wrapping room and drops it down one of the chutes.
