i can't speak japanese but i'm sure they're telling me to make the food as inedible as possible

Kept failing the Egg Mcmuffin test 10/10

Now I know how to make a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

I'll be honest the story about how this game was able to be saved from gaming purgatory, is more remarkable than the game itself.

I don't even know if this can be qualified as a game, because it holds your hand the entire time I don't even remember if there was an actual time attack mode or anything. But I guess the point of this isn't to entertain potential employees but to just train them in a fun way I guess.

The quote "game" is more so a MCDONALDS EMPLOYEE TRAINING SIMULATOR.

It has you learned different things like how to make fries, how to make big macs, quarter pounders, double quarter pounders, fish fillet's, fille-o-fish.
It also trains you with how to cook the breakfast menu the MCDONALDS WAY

I have to say, I find it very unique to see the difference in culture with the United States and Japan on items on the menu. In Japan apparently they serve teriyaki burgers which not gonna lie sounds pretty good, but I havent eaten in a McDonald's for about 9 years or beyond I think, it's been a long time my point is.


It's not too surprising considering I believe in the Philippines, they still offer the McDonald's Spaghetti which is interesting. And I remember there's a specific MCDONALDS location that contains nearly all the menu items from around the world in the U.S. that includes a MCDONALDS PIZZA which is surprising.

Point is this "game" contains an item that isn't normally given out in the United States, or at all even.

I think a part of me that is kind of confused is why does the game not have everything functional within it now perhaps I'm playing a unfinished or glitchy broken Rom version of the game, but it clearly feels like something is missing in the sense of a "free mode" where you get to do whatever you want or at the very least practice on your own, or learning more things to cook.

Another thing that confuses me is there are items in specific parts of the level that are just straight up never used which confuses me as to why they are in the game to begin with.
Like thinking about it thoroughly, it's kind of weird they don't show you every single item and condiment. I'm even surprise that there's no dessert minigame with Ice-Cream. Maybe there is, and maybe I just didn't unlock it.

One thing I can't say though is the game treat you like crap when you go your own pace, it's like the game wants you to rush through it and get a high score. Now perhaps my English Rom has an issue where it for some reason wants the player to do it at an exorbitant amount of pace in a restricted amount of time, so maybe it's an issue with my Rom, but if it aint... Jesus I salute the Japanese workers of Japan 🙏🏻, cause they have work at an extreme amount of pace... for freaking McDonald's.


Anyway like I said the story of how this game got transferred, unpackaged, and dumped onto the internet is more entertaining than the actual "game."

help. I can't get passed menu to get to 3d burger and play game XD ¯\( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
