Out to Lunch
The early 1990’s was something of a transitional period for gaming. Most games were arcade style shooters, beat em’ ups or platformers. The legacy of arcade cabinets and their domination of the games industry in the 1980’s left a lasting impression on games in the early 90’s. Many games were designed to be easy to pick up and play, so as to encourage people to keep pumping coins into the slot. Out to Lunch (Or Pierre le Chef’s Out to Lunch, to give it it’s Amiga name) is no exception, but with the added focus of being an educational game about food. Out to Lunch was released on the SNES in 1994 by recently defunct UK developer and publisher Mindscape, before being ported to the Amiga the following year.
