The player controlled the chef, Peter Pepper. The computer controlled the enemies, which took the form of eggs, hot dogs, and pickles that would try and 'get' you, resulting in Peter apparently having a fit. :)

The Plot: (object)
Your chef, Peter Pepper, is surrounded! Pickles and hot dogs are everywhere! Dodge down a ladder, pepper a pickle and you've escaped. They all chase after you. Run for your life to the next bun. Gobble some fries along the way and you've got some pepper -- just in case. Lead them on a chase and the nasties get stuck together. Tiptoe onto a bun and they follow you in a bunch. Pepper 'em, step off, and drop 'em. WAY TO MOVE! You've got 8000 points and are one step closer to BURGERTIME.

Score more points than your opponent while building hamburgers. Avoid dangerous hot dogs, pickles and eggs. Points are scored for dropping ingredients and squashing nasties. Maximum point value is received for giving those foes a ride on a falling bun, patty, tomato, or lettuce leaf.
