Tapper PC

Tapper is an arcade game that first appeared on coin-up machines in 1983 and quickly gained huge popularity. We will play the role of a bartender serving beer to customers who are always thirsty.

Tapper offers four graphically diversified locations with the same number of counters. The player moves vertically between the barrels and, pouring beer, throws them towards the customers. The idea is to satisfy the desire of all people before they reach the bartender and take him out for clothes. However, this is not the only condition for ending the struggle successfully. It should be remembered that beer that does not reach the customer is considered to be lost and this in turn equals an automatic termination of employment. Some customers also have an unpleasant habit of returning empty mugs to the bartender. If they fall to the ground, we can also say goodbye to the activity. The fact that our hero can run into individual rows and pick up empty mugs in advance is a certain convenience. However, you have to reckon with the fact that you have to get back to the barrels and the customers are still moving forward. From time to time a bonus will appear at the end of one counter, signalled by an item lying on the counter. Taking it will activate one of the bar attractions (e.g. girls' performance), which will attract the attention of the majority of customers and stop them for a moment from consuming a golden beverage. After completing each location, another bonus appears - a short interlude, in which we have to guess where the good beer is located.

Despite more than twenty years on his neck, the Tapper is able to pull himself in. Simple rules of the game, relatively good for those times graphics and playing in the background, lively music attract fans of uncomplicated arcade games to the monitor for a longer time.
