You begin by selecting a character to act as your CEO and initially invest in the restaurant industry.
You then must manage numerous factors regarding your business, such as infrastructure, finances, staff, menu, advertising, etc. in order to turn a profit and gradually build a vast empire of dining establishments.
Another agreeable feature is that the actual cities each have distinctive styles of architecture incorporated into them to further the impression that you are actually in Rome, London, New York, etc.
The theme of each city is further emphasized by soundtrack music indigenous to the area.
As time passes, night and day are simulated, complete with sunrises and sunsets.
Time zones are accurately depicted as well, so if you jump from Tokyo to New York, you'll go from night to day, reflecting local time.
The influence of "underworld" activities is also present in the game.
If you desire, you can align yourself with organized crime.
Doing so can be highly profitable but is not entirely without risk.
If you opt for a life of crime, you will have to be on the lookout and avoid law enforcement at times.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Fast Food for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Fast Food to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1982.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Fast Food, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
