Development
Food Fight was developed by General Computer Corporation (GCC), the same company that produced Midway's Ms. Pac-Man. Like Ms. Pac-Man, GCC's connection to Atari was born out of accusations of copyright infringement. The company had produced a kit that would speed up Atari's Missile Command arcade machines, but with General Computer claiming the copyright for the modified game. Fearing for its intellectual property rights, Atari sued GCC for USD$15 million. The case was settled out of court, with Atari contracting GCC to produce video games for them, including Food Fight and Quantum.

—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
