Ronnie's Pizza

History

Ronnie's Pizza was originally released in 1984 for the Funshckin 84' by Funshckin Entertainment. It was Funshckin's second attempt at rivaling Nintendo's strategy of transitioning from a toy manufacture to a game developer. The Funshckin 84' directly competed with Nintendo's Game & Watch system and Ronnie's Pizza was a hit for the pocket device.

Story

In 1952 Ronnie Pots opened Ronnie's Pizza, a small mom and pop pizza establishment located in Balsam Hill. As soon as his restaurant opened it was a giant success, with pizzas going to hungry mouths by the minute. Realizing  that Ronnie couldn't manage the rush on his own, his son, Ronnie Pots Jr. decided to help his Dad and deliver delicious pizza to the customers of Balsam Hill. Will you be able to help the Ronnie Pots duo take on the challenge of looming customers?

Game B

In Game B, customers will appear from the left, bottom, and right sides of the screen with the challenge of two customers appearing at a time. Your objective is to deliver pizzas to them by the time they reach the takeout tables.

Scoring

You score points every time you deliver a pizza to the customers. The score is displayed at the lower left of your screen.

 

Misses

If you aren't able to deliver a pizza to a customer you will receive a miss that will be displayed at the lower right of your screen. If you receive 3 misses it'll be game over and you lose.

Strategy/Tips

• If you place pizzas at the three tables ahead of customers arrival, you will have more time to deal with the next round of customers 

• If you feel too slow moving to the opposite table, push the B button to instantly move across to that location

• Customers can be greedy and will take any pizza they're given while at the tables. Be sure to place your next pizza after they've left or they'll snatch that one as well
