Food Fight DescriptionAs Charley Chuck, you hurl piles of food at your foes, the four crazy chefs, but make sure you eat the ice-cream cone before it melts. This game uses a special analog joystick that is comprised of a centering-bellows and two potentiometers.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThere are two known types of marquees: a flexible vinyl paper type and a dedicated solid plastic type. The artwork on the upright is classic Atari.Game IntroductionFood Fight hero, Charley Chuck, gets points by eating his ice cream cone before it melts. To do this, he must fight off Oscar, Angelo, Jacques, and Zorba, the four mean-looking chefs who rise from holes and throw food at him.Each of the chefs wears a different hat: Oscar wears a big hat; Angelo wears a small hat; Jacques wears a curved hat; and Zorba wears a tall hat. Charley must not be caught by a chef, get hit by food thrown by a chef or walk onto an open hole or else he is a goner. On some stages, the food that Charley can throw at the chefs include peas, tomatoes, bananas and pies (each in piles). On these stages, the supplies are limited, so you must try to use whatever you can to throw at the crazy chefs before they run out. On other stages, the food that he can throw are watermelons. On these stages, Chuck can throw pieces of watermelon continuously because the supplies are absolutely unlimited. Whenever Charley makes a direct hit at a chef, the chef is temporarily stunned. Chuck must eat the ice-cream cone before it melts in order to proceed to the next stage. When Chuck eats the cone, the ice-cream flavor changes and the game difficulty increases. If the round lasts a long time and Charley has a lot of narrow escapes or close calls before successful completion, the game may award an "Instant Replay" - when this happens silly music plays (there is no background music during gameplay) and the entire round is played back on the screen. The music is synchronized to the replay so that the last few notes correspond perfectly to the point where Charley eats the cone. Getting an "Instant Replay" does not add to the player score, but it sure is fun to see. When the chefs pop up they also leave holes on the screen, you fall in a hole you die! Avoid the holes. Game PlayThere are 125 total levels. Once you reach level 80 or so, the game is so fast that you are pretty much just running for the cone.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 64 known instances of Food Fight owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
