The British home computer ports used Pepsi for the branding as Mountain Dew wasn't sold in the UK at the time.
-
I realized how violent this game was. I mean, you drop a glass and you die. You don’t serve someone a drink and they kill you.
-
Pat is Tap backwards, man. That means something.

I love the art of the early Bally/Midway games. All current "Retro" pixel art always looks the same, they always use the SNES style pixel art, but nobody ever copies this earlier style. I like the look of lower res backgrounds and hi-res sprites too
-
First Super Pac-Man, now Tapper?! This is the reason I love this channel.
-
Tapper is used in Wreck it Ralph which Tapper is voiced by my friend Maurice LaMarche.

The first time I played a cabinet of this was at the barber next to my parents flower shop. I'd go in to play from time to time and we'd battle for the high score.

How can I like this video a 100x times?

Rocksmith 2014 has a Tapper mini-game for practicing changing strings on guitar. It's one of the funnier mini-games on Rocksmith, and playing it did improve my guitar playing a little.

This is my best friend’s first video game that he had ever played (the 2600 version). And it also happens to be his birthday today! I hope he likes it!

I had so much fun with tapper i get to play every once in awhile when i visit galloping ghost
-
My favorite arcade game next to Wrestlefest.

Weird, I thought you already covered this game a few years ago. Anyway I can't get past level eight or nine to the alien bar stage no matter how often I've tried over the years. It's a hurdle I can't get over. I was playing it on a friend's MAME today and at an arcade last night.

Patman I love your intro now!!! It's the intro on fire edition BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!!
-
This is one of my all time favorites! Glad to see you did an episode on this! It's much appreciated from this viewer!

My Mother absolutely loved this game! She would loop it on a regular basis at our local arcade. Ironically, a Barcade opened up right across the street from my job last year, and one of the Classic games they have is the original Budweiser Tapper!
-
I swear I played the Budweiser version in a Chuck E. Cheese when I was little.
-
i showed my wife the Atari version as she loves Mountain Dew. On my bucket list is to play this game at a bar with a glass of beer resting on the cabinet! Then drink every time you lose a life! Thanks for this documentary & all your videos no matter how long they are it seems to just fly by! Always great to watch! Thanks again for another awesome Video!

I played this game endlessly on my Coleco ADAM computer growing up. Well, this and FRENZY... Seeing the ColecoVision version brought me straight back to 10 year old me sitting in front of my TV and ADAM Computer. What a time was had back then!!!
