Retro365 | Tapper - Sega Enterprises, Inc., 1983 - IBM PC (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
A short presentation of Tapper, published for IBM PCs in 1983 by Sega Enterprises, Inc.
The video arcade game was released in 1983 by Bally Midway and developed by Marvin Glass and Associates. It was Originally sponsored by Anheuser-Busch and featured a Budweiser motif as it was intended to be sold to bars, with cabinets sporting a brass rail footrest and drink holders. Early machines had game controllers that were actual Budweiser beer tap handles, which were later replaced by smaller, plastic versions with the Budweiser logo on them. A re-themed Root Beer Tapper followed in 1984, which was developed specifically for arcades because the original version was construed as advertising alcohol to minors.
Most home versions of Tapper featured the Mountain Dew logo, while the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions had the Pepsi logo.
Tapper puts you in the shoes of a bartender who must serve eager, thirsty patrons before their patience expires, all while collecting empty mugs and tips.
