Tapper (Root Beer)

Released in 1984 by Bally Midway (distributed by Sega), Tapper is a lighthearted action game set behind the counter of a beer hall. Players take on the role of a bartender, sliding beers down four lanes to serve the impatient patrons appearing before them. To achieve a high score, you must carefully navigate the bar, collecting tips left on the tables while avoiding mistakes such as missing a customer or sliding a mug into thin air. Please note that, for the sake of technical record, a phenomenon has been identified where speed control does not function correctly under certain frame-skip settings.

In this action game, you play as a bartender who must keep serving beer to the thirsty customers appearing one after another in the bar. To keep the patrons happy, you must slide empty mugs to the end of the counter to collect them while managing a relentless stream of orders. Your goal is to satisfy every customer and make it to the end of the stage.
