I minored in “BurgerTime” on the ColecoVision in college in the early 1990s. I recently started playing the Intellivision version and it is waaaay better and closer to the arcade version. Not just graphics better, but the characters act in less predictable (and tougher to outsmart) ways.
The non-responsiveness of the controller, I found on the Intellivision I own, has to do with the top two screws on the controller not being tight enough to push together the sandwich construction circuitry from the controller that sits at this spot and that leads out the coiled cable. I put a large binder clip on one of my controllers and fixed that problem since the screw holes were stripped.
