This is widely considered by me as the first survival horror game.

In Heaven, you get to watch the animation of your guy eating the ice cream on a constant loop.

Played as part of Atari 50.

A fairly dull arcade game where you have to walk from one side of the screen to the other while avoiding enemies or throwing food at them. I don't really like how aiming is tied to movement direction, but it's unsurprising in the era when twin stick shooters were still rare. It's not very bad, moreso bland, but it's still not something I see myself revisiting.

Stoner's Robotron. A bit slower, a bit more about munchies.

Food Fight is one of the most simplest arcade games I've ever played with some of the most jarring, bizarre, and smooth animations I've ever witnessed.

Charley just getting away with murdering a bunch of chefs. Look at his smug ass face.

Solid game. Its a mix of a bunch of stuff you've seen before in a quirky new package. You are simultaneously avoiding other people who are intent on flinging bananas and stuff at you, trying to take out a few with your own edible projectiles and dashing across the screen to gulp the ice cream in one unceremonious bite. Weird but it works.
