Panic Restaurant
Also know as: Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World | わんぱくコックンのグルメワールド
Panic Restaurant, known in Japan as Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World (わんぱくコックンのグルメワールド), is a 1992 platform game developed by EIM and published by Taito for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Panic Restaurant stars a chef named Cookie who must navigate through his own restaurant, which has been cursed by a rival chef named Ohdove. Cookie has to battle evil food monsters with kitchen utensil weapons in six levels before taking on Ohdove in a final battle. This game was mixed-to-positive reception by critics, because it was done by only 10 people at EIM, most notably game developer Kenji Edo, who went on to found the game company WARP. Hot dogs on legs, jumping eggs, flying apple slices, hungry hamburger buns, pans shooting fried shrimp - WHAT'S GOING ON?? Ever since the mad chef, Ohdove, stole the Eaten Restaurant from Cookie, strange things have been happening! To win back the Eaten, Cookie must face a restaurant that has come to life! Mutant food and appliances are just eager to cook Cookie! But Cookie knows his way around a restaurant, so armed with just a few simple kitchen tools, he is going to challenge Ohdove and the army of mutants!
