Quick verdict

Here’s the game that launched the popular PC restaurant franchise! Many time management buffs got their start with this fast-paced service showdown.

What's it about?

You play Flo, a young woman who left her hectic corporate occupation to pursue something “better”.

If you become a Flo addict, the fact that she left her office job seemingly due to stress might strike you as odd as time goes on. This is because playing as Flo equates to almost single-handily running and maintaining all of the restaurants. She’s a workaholic who never manages to put her foot down about taking a vacation.

If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a waitress times a thousand, this is your game.

Your basic duties include seating the customers, taking their orders, delivering their food, collecting the money and cleaning up after them.

You want to try to chain actions for maximum points and also color code where the people sit. All the while you must strive to keep your customers happy by attending to them promptly, because these folks are not shy when it comes to “dine and ditch”!

Pros and cons

+ Up to ten profiles are available, so the whole family can play.

+ Where you’re supposed to go next flashes, be it the counter or dish bin.

+ Restaurants start to look nicer as play continues.

+ Expert goals in addition to the regular point objectives.

+ 5 unique eateries and 6 kinds of customers.

+ Endless mode in easy, medium, or hard difficulty included.

+ Addictive strategic gameplay that is pure multitasking mayhem.

+ Readily available for the Mac, online, and on the iPhone or iPod Touch. A full free version (with ads) is also offered by Playfirst.

- If you’ve played more recent versions of Diner Dash and then come back to play this one like I did, you’ll notice that Flo looks like her mother maybe indulged in some vices when she was pregnant with her. The graphics in general are fairly dumpy. What a difference a few years makes!

- I don’t know if it’s the same with the downloadable edition, but I have the store-bought version of Diner Dash, and there are a couple of glitches with the graphics in some levels (the ghosts of customers who’ve just left, for example). The game runs smoothly enough overall, though.

The verdict

A must for fans of the more recent Diner Dash versions. And if you’re new to Dinertown, come find out why this is easily a classic!
