Burger King is better than McDonald's

Someone at Burger King is one of us. They've started a new campaign, with Activision, that gives you a portable game
device with a meal. The specifics of the deal aren't laid out very well, but it sounds like it's worth a trip to BK to
educate yourself.
The titles being offered are all Activision Atari 2600 classics — Grand Prix, Tennis, Barnstorming and Kaboom! Tennis
may actually get me to eat one of their burgers for the first time in years — even if I have to order a kid's meal.
Please, BK, don't make me order a kid's meal.
Here's hoping they find great success for this great idea.

A Mcdonalds in Los Angeles has 3 Gamecube systems and N64 system playing McDonald's games in the center of the restaurant.

Okay, that McDonald's is better than BK.

McDonalds had a similar promition with pousy handheld Sega Games last year, similar to the Activision Games BK is doing.

I went to BK over the weekend and got my kids (honest honey! it was for the kids!) the kids meals featuring these things. They're crap. They're crummy LCD "ports" of the original games. The Grand Prix one is the one we got, and it has literally 16 positions for the car, and you move your car up and down and try not to crash. It sort of gets harder, but I beat it the first time I played without losing any lives.
Crap.
