Simple, addictive, FUN! Tapper was initially released in 1983 by Midway. There were two versions, one with Budweiser beer

, and the other with root beer

.

The premise was very simple:

-serve beer to patrons

-catch empty glasses before they fell off the bar

-collect $$

Tapper was fast-paced and fun, with lots of stuff to keep track of on the screen. The arcade cab had an awesome control scheme- There was an actual beer-tap controller! A joystick moves the bartender, and the beer-tap fills the mugs (duh).

Fun, fun, fun.

I believe that an NES version of Root Beer Tapper (of course) was released. However, I have yet to see a copy myself.

Who remembers this classic "bowling alley" (because thats where they tend to be found) arcade game?

Never played it in the arcade, but I think I've played it on a console or pc at one point through the years.

The deluxe cabinet with the tap, wood accents, and metal foot rail is gorgeous though.

I love the game. I've got it on one of the PSX compilation discs. Fun stuff.

One of the coolest arcade controllers/cabinets ever.

I have the PSX comp as well, and my wife & I have spent many evenings serving (root) brewskies. She's actually better than me at it.

Think we'll break it out tonight.

I haven't played the arcade original but I enjoyed playing the C64 version back then.

I have never heard of a version for the NES before.
