View Full Version : BK to include classic Activision games with meals

Someone at Burger King is one of us. They’ve started a new campaign, with Activision, that gives you a portable game device with a meal. The specifics of the deal aren’t laid out very well, but it sounds like it’s worth a trip to BK to educate yourself.
The titles being offered are all Activision Atari 2600 classics — Grand Prix, Tennis, Barnstorming and Kaboom! Tennis may actually get me to eat one of their burgers for the first time in years — even if I have to order a kid’s meal. Please, BK, don’t make me order a kid’s meal.
Here’s hoping they find great success for this great idea.

Kaboom! AND Barnstorming?
Wait I just looked at them. Looks like crap. And the games don't look too good either. *rimshot*

This just in....price of a BK Kids Meal skyrockets as people all over the US hoard the toys in hopes that they will become rare/valuable so they can one day post the question on CAG....
Will these ever become rare/valuable?
:roll:

If these are anything like McDonald's Sega games, they're really not worth the trip.
Let's wait until we actually have reviews, OK?

My daughter loves their chicken tenders so I guess I'll have to pick her up a few meals.

Hmm, what about Activision's greatest Atari 2600 game, Pitfall!...

Pitfall's too complicated for a device that costs 39 cents to manufacture in bulk.

I would be all over this if it wasn't for the fact that I haven't been eating fast food in over a year.

Saw them at Burger King today in a case near the register. They are really small and rather than spend almost $3 on a Kid's Meal (they raised the price, it used to be $1.99 for the hamburger meal as long as I can remember), I opted to order off the $0.99 menu instead.
I also saw a commerical for them on TV and from what I could tell Kaboom! is censored, instead of dropping bombs, hamburgers are dropped (I think)
