+From https://thepinballgameroom.com/product/burgertime-arcade-machine/ on the original game:
+BurgerTime Arcade Machine, originally released as Hamburger in Japan, is a 1982 arcade game developed by Data East
+initially for its DECO Cassette System.  In the United States, Data East USA licensed BurgerTime Arcade Machine for
+distribution by Bally Midway as a standard dedicated arcade game. Data East also released its own version of BurgerTime
+in the United States through its DECO Cassette System. The Data East and Midway versions are distinguished by the
+manufacturer’s name on the title screen and by the marquee and cabinet artworks, as the game itself is identical.
