a happy meal or an unhappy meal?
#396060 - 04/24/23 01:35 AM


Phil Bennett lets users make that decision for themselves with this medal gem being added. My thanks to Phil for this quirky gem of a medal game.

Phil mentions about the medal game. https://twitter.com/PhilBennett3D

And I agree with Phil’s take on this….especially the talking burger.
Who cannot want to order a burger that talks to them! A perfect food combo with french fries that also talk.

This aggressive mouse along with the talking burger make this incontestably the best medal game ever made.

Best damn annoying attract mode sound effect in the attract mode screen video clip ever produced. It should be played everywhere. ; - )



For any wanting to see what actual machine plays like, here are some clips.

There are clips of many other medal games in action at places in Japan from the same person.

I've been waiting for Burger Kids to show up for a while. Yes, that mouse sound is really annoying.

Sunwise produced a few other cutesy medal games that use the same "JOYM" (ジョイム) cabinet. One of these, Pyuuta-kun (ぴゅう太くん), was a licensed product apparently based on some weird toy console for preschoolers by Tomy, with no obvious relation between these and the much older Tomy Pyuuta (the Japanese version of the Tomy Tutor). Here's a video discussing its history in Japanese (and 6:47 shows that the medal game definitely runs on the same PCB as Power Kick and Burger Kids): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x33GkjYmLus

> I've been waiting for Burger Kids to show up for a while.

I wasn’t aware of this medal game product myself. I haven’t followed that area compared to non-cpu, handheld or even electronic musical equipment preservation. A couple of your recent Roland updates are good.

I am dreaming maybe the early V drum series or Roland digital guitars emulation might happen, but wishful thinking on my side. Pretending to play like guitarist Chuck Loeb playing the Roland digital guitar from group Steps Ahead Modern Times album (1984) opening tune ‘Safari’ would be the tops imo. : - )

Still wishful thinking because when I played Konami’s Guitar Freaks, I always get the audience boos treatment. Better for me just to stick with playing drums or Drummania.

> Yes, that mouse sound is really annoying.

The talking hamburger is where it’s at. Less mouse/ rats chew sound and more talking burger.
Who cannot enjoy a talking burger.
