Hey, did we do one of these last week? Well, whatever; this week on
Epic we get:

Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/cook-serve-delicious-3-fb9aae

Which, well, okay, I mean... it's a game. It's gotten to its third
iteration so apparently it's profitable enough for the developers for
them to do so, which implies there's an audience for it. Honestly, the
only time I've ever seen mention of this series is when squealing
streamers put it up on the YouTube/Twitch/Discord channels, and it
looks interesting - the game, not the streamers - for about five
minutes. But somebody must like it. So, sure, might as well put it up
on Epic. Have at it if its your thing.

I think I'll pass, though.

Pass for me too. I don't even cook IRL!

Thanks Spalls. I claimed it. $20 at Steam

I have the original, but never tried it.

And yes. I cook. At home, and sometimes 30-60 people, sometimes by
myself :-)

The CSD series has about as much to do with cooking as "Minecraft"
has to do with mining. It's more of a puzzle/timing game where you
have to scamble to trigger various actions that put together a meal as customers place an increasing number of orders.

As I said, I'm sure the game has is fans; I've just never encountered
any. GTA, COD, Madden, No Man's Sky, Roblox, even CandyCrunch... I've
heard people mention these. Never has "Cook Serve Delicious" come up
in conversation. But perhaps I'm just hanging out with the wrong
crowd.

I also have a midevil bartending game that I haven't tried that got
good revies.

I remember a game like that with rootbeer and trying to serve people
before the glasses slid off the table. CSD sounds like the same
thing.

It might have been for ColecoVision.

Odds are you are remembering the classic game, "Tapper" which was
originally released in the arcades but was later ported to a number of
home platforms including, yes, the ColecoVision.

(also, the Atari 2600, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX,
Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, IBM PC, and Palm OS)

Here it is on the Atari 2600
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ7bnUjOAH4

In addition to all of the above, I am positive there are bootleg
versions of the game that take the concept, file of the serial
numbers, and call it by another name (e..g, 'Bewmaster" on the
Trash-80).

In some ways it is the ancestor to the CSD games, although the latter
are - obviously - more involved. The core mechanic of both is keeping
the 'timelines' of various orders straight even as the pace becomes increasingly more hectic.

I didn't much care for "Tapper" either ;-)

Tapper got a few quarters from me, but it certainly wasn't a favorite.

There was some cooking game I played not too long ago that I rather
enjoyed, but it was more because it was over the top.

Ah 2018, also a Prime (twitch at the time) freebie

"
* Battle Chef Brigade +
This is apparently based of an Adult Swim show which I haven't seen,
and I didn't really think I'd like it, but it was a twitch freebie,
so figured I might as well try it. You fight monsters in a side
scroller way, and then take their parts and make dishes in a kind of
puzzle which are judged against another chef's creations. I was
surprised by how fun it was. The puzzles were fairly fun, it
reminded me a bit of Dr. Mario, which is one of my favorites from
ages ago. It was just hard enough, I had to do a few battles a few
times to progress, but won most of them the first try. The story
isn't bad either.
