What is Tapper?
Tapper is a classic arcade game developed by Midway Games. Sponsored by Budweiser, it had its first release on January 27, 1984. The game is simple and powerful: you are a bartender, tap-tapping on beer mugs that slide across the bar to serve them fast enough so that they don't slip off. Thanks to its retro charm, catchy tunes, and fast-paced gameplay, it enjoyed tremendous arcades glory and is a nostalgic experience for many gamers nowadays.
How to Play
Your chief occupation in the game is to tap the slideway mug on the bar; that is, keep them from falling off. Tapping mugs filled them with beer. If too many mugs fell unattended, the game was over. The three increasing degrees of difficulty entail more mugs and faster speeds, where you can be either of the two bartenders: "Bud" and "Shane."
Tips & Tricks
- Stay Alert: Do your best to keep track of mugs at all times. It is harder to focus on them as they pick up speed.
- Tap a bit early: Normally tapping on mugs early would ensure they would not become empty or fall.
- Practice: The more you play, the better you'll get at predicting mug movements.
