Wish I could read the review, I need to learn German. Is it four out of five stars, or four out of four stars? And I didn't know Ken had a website.

I have used that periodically, but it generally results in pretty mangled English so unless it's something in another language I really need to read, I have avoided babelfish.

It is four out of five stars and 8 out of 10 points.

Here's the Babelfish translation :

 

The play presented today is based similarly as the play "Castle Crisis" presented in magazine 77 on an automat play. Both for "being lords" and for "Burger time" gave it at that time only a little responding automat conversion. This gap was now filled: beside "Castle Crisis" (being lord) gives it also for "Burger to time" a mad conversion for the Atari: "Beef drop". That car "kenfused" Ken Siders really selected one attention exciting form of release. History is to be repeated here briefly. On 1 April announced itself this yearly kenfused in the AtariAge forum for the VCS 5200. It received an EPROM with the label "Burger time 5200 5/4/83". It was in a broken and unlabelled 5200er module housing. The first five reactions to this Thread were (easily?) euphorically, until someone referred to the date of the Posts. Rather fast one was itself then in the forum united that it had to concern a April joke. As long as to kenfused the "dumped" ROM in the forum postete. It could be played in the emulator outstanding. It donated thereby large confusion, some remained distrustful, with others appeared again the initial euphoria. By that the play several times excellent play bar and large proximity were certified to being astonished and arguing public to the arcade model. In the whole speculations kenfused at one time and only with the words "Atari 8-bit computer threw conversion" a XL version in the forum. Briefly before midnight came then the dissolution of kenfused. Only 1 on could begin the 5200"hardly a something with" 4 0. He had to still say that that is the code, which is to be entered in the title screen. Said - done, afterwards it could read then everyone white on black: "April fools by Kenfused". On the following day then many congratulated to protruding play to the successful and maintenance seed April joke and naturally to that. In the following days and weeks kenfused the play improved with the help of the numerous references of readers of the forum and found after some merry suggestions also a suitable name for the play: Beef drop. The at present current version is the version of 11.08.04. You find it on the b-side of the magazine disk [ reference at Wolfgang: Accordingly this sentence delete, if no place on the disk is, or change, if in the next magazine intended ]. After the newest versions can you always in each case in the AtariAge forum look out hold (http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=47232) or also the homepage of the author (http://atari.ksiders.tzo.com/a8games.html). This Thread in the forum became meanwhile with 278 answers and 8700 calls most successful in the 5200er the forum and one the usually-visited at all in the AtariAge forums. But now to the play: Your play figure named Pepper has to occupy the task of Hamburg ones. It makes this, by trampling on a stand climbed and on the components of the Burger, which are distributed on the different levels of the stand. When each overflowing the part of the Burgers is carried on a level which is under it. If all parts concerned at the lowest level, the Burger is occupied and it goes into the next level. Naturally, how it is usual with a good play, someone tries to prevent. A fried egg, a Viennese small sausage and a spice cucumber (?) hunt you. During contact with them you lose a Pepper (i.e. a life). Naturally you can also resist: Always, if a part of the Burgers falls down and an opponent of it met, is it around it happened and your point account becomes larger. Laehmen at short notice can you your opponent with the spray gun, by pressing briefly before them on the fire button. Good automat conversions were always a strength of the Atari. In this tradition also this play stands. It is nevertheless beautiful that also today still so mad plays for our A8 appear.
