StanJr #1 Posted April 13, 2002 I just got my Pressure Cooker (among other awesome games) cart from King Asmo (who I HIGHLY recommend you buy from, he's got an exceptional selection of upper uncommon and low rare, as well as common, games for reasonable prices), anyway I got my cart and I just finished playing an hour marathon session, and I just wanted to say that I totally love this game. Not many atari games require so much thought and mental exercise. What an incredible game! Any other "Grille" fanatics out there? Short order Stan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StanJr #4 Posted April 13, 2002 Great! Now I gotta get 5200! Sheesh! Anyways, Pressure Cooker a little hard to come by, but it plays quite well on the emu as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #5 Posted April 13, 2002 noone loves pressure cooker more than me..for the longest time my avatar was the chef. i so kick ass at that game too.. and the jingle is nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smile_walle #6 Posted April 13, 2002 I should get Pressure cooker!! Should I go and look at E-Bay?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #7 Posted April 13, 2002 Ebay can be a little too expensive sometimes. If you want, Im sure anyone with a copy for trade would gladly let you buy it off em, all you gotta do is ask! Its probally my all time fave atari game. Youd really like it. Do you have an emulator? might wanna try it on there to make sure youll like it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atarian75 #8 Posted April 13, 2002 This is one of my favorite Atari games as well. Everytime someone makes a top 5 Atari game post I am always disappointed that this game does not show up on many peoples lists. I would have to say that it is number 2 on my top five, right behind Kaboom! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smile_walle #9 Posted April 13, 2002 quoteEbay can be a little too expensive sometimes. If you want, Im sure anyone with a copy for trade would gladly let you buy it off em, all you gotta do is ask! Yeah, that is very true E-Bay sometime very expesnive to buy some Atari games. I will be glad to ask anyone who have Boxed Pressure Cooker on this board, trade or I willing to pay, either. I never try and play with Pressure Cooker, it could be lots fun!!! Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyXB #10 Posted April 13, 2002 One of my favourites too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountain King #11 Posted April 13, 2002 I bought mine in the store. But it was one of those games I was really satisfied with. Thats the one thing about Atari games when you bought them new, long ago. You ran that risk that you would be disappointed by them. Games I've been reaaly satisified with: Pressure Cooker Jr. Pac Man Solaris Midnight Magic Masters of the Universe the Power of He-Man Spacemaster X-7 Star Trek California Games Some of these games were like $30 when they came out, so you want your money's worth.

Big Player #12 Posted April 13, 2002 Just need to chime in and say that Pressure Cooker is one of the best games for the 2600. I don't know why I always forget about it when trying to make a top-ten list of the best games. It's just pure fun to play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinabin #13 Posted April 13, 2002 I can't wait to play Pressure Cooker, it looks great. Only thing holding me back is that the only thing about my Atari collection that I'm immovably strict about, is Activision games - I have to have them boxed with instructions - and picture label only. I hope one comes around soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osmeroid #14 Posted April 13, 2002 I totally agree with Stan, this is one of the very best 2600 games available and play it regulalry (can get 130K score at best). I just got my boxed copy of this title a couple of weeks ago (I have 2 loose carts of it). What a game, yes indeed!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #15 Posted April 14, 2002 Not to start a score war, but I just got my best PC score today 173,815!!! Chef Stan UPDATE! I just topped that 175,558!!! Man that conveyor belt moves fast! [ 04-13-2002: Message edited by: StanJr ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Piper #16 Posted April 23, 2002 It showed up on MY fav. atari games list as a 3-way tie for #1(i cant rate em like that)....cause it kicks ass!I been waiting for years to have this cart again, i cracked and got it on ebay, cheap though,(enroute still ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATARIPITBULL #17 Posted April 23, 2002 I hate to say this but pressure cooker is another game that I have in my collection but have not played yet. One of these days I'm going to have to sit down and start playing all of these games that I have in my collection, it should only take about 2 months.

Fretwobbler #19 Posted April 24, 2002 @Stan If I remember correctly you were only 10,000 points in front of me when we did the Pressure Cooker thing before. 253,000 was it? Liquid Sky should remember. Im gonna have another go at beating that one and Ive got a digital camera now too for the screen shots Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wren1984 #21 Posted April 24, 2002 hi just bought 34! 2600 games, all boxed with instructions for £10 !!!! pressure cooker is one of them... cant wait to play! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fretwobbler #22 Posted April 24, 2002 203,190....getting better. This game is more difficult on emulators than the real thing, not like Spiderr fighter - that seems easier on an emulator. Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquid_sky #23 Posted April 24, 2002 it was around that range.. my top is the 230ish range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanJr #24 Posted April 25, 2002 Actually, that high score I got back in the day was on the emu, so for me the emu is much easier actually! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratfink #25 Posted April 25, 2002 That is a great game. A similar game is Piece Of Cake. It's kinda rare and I bet many haven't bothered to try it. It's the same concept as Pressure Cooker (more or less) but with layers of cake (and candles on top) and you use the paddle controllers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
