Tapper (1983) Online

You are a bartender serving Budweiser beer to patrons. You must serve everyone a beer before they work their way up to the kegs. You must also grab empty mugs before they slide off the end of the bar. Extra points for collecting tips. Bonus rounds involve locating the one beer that has not been shaken, and serving it.

When the game was first released, it was simply called Tapper, and it was a registered trademark of Budweiser.

In issue 71 of Your Sinclair magazine in November 1991, this game was voted the 68th best game of all time.

Challenging, addictive and fun should've been reason enough for this bartender game to stay at the arcades, but unfortunately "Tapper" barely saw the light of day. This game had quite a lot going for it, including cool graphics (even though the characters are small), gameplay, and simple controls.

In this straightforward game, you assume the role as the bartender who must serve a bunch of impatient customers their beer before they approach you at the end of the bar. The sooner they get their drinks, the better. As the game progresses, the levels become more challenging. You work at different bars, including one with aliens (?). More customers turn up and they move even faster. Try not to stress out. Also, you must make sure that no mugs fall off the bar or you lose a life. There's even a bonus level that's similar to pea in the pod game.

Although arcades don't carry this game, you can play "Tapper" on the internet and possibly download it as well. Still looks good after all these years.

My evaluation: 9 out of 10

Great game here! The object of the game is to serve beer down a table and there are different levels and its just so much fun. I have it on my 1985 Tandy personal computer. This game is just fantastic up against the boring and garbage video games of today. If you like those shooting games, if you think about it you'll enjoy this. You aim and fire, not a gun but a beer. One of your classic eighties video games. I think if they came out with a new version of Tapper I don't think it would be as good. You can't change Tapper. They'll change it to much and you'll never get use to it. They'll make it all 3D. I just wish they would put the original Tapper on CD-Rom for new computers since floppy disks are obsolete. Good thing I still got my Tandy!
