If a customer does catch the mug, though, then he or she is pushed back some amount towards the opposite end of the screen. If a mug is not caught by a customer (whether the customer is already drinking or distracted, or if there is no customer), then it falls off the bar on the other end, resulting in a loss of a life for the player. Customers catch mugs that are slid towards them, as long as they are not already drinking a beer, or otherwise distracted. Once the mug is full, the player releases the tap which automatically slides the mug towards the advancing customer. The player serves customers by filling a mug at one of the four taps. If any customers reach the player's end of the bar, they impatiently grab the player-as-bartender and toss him out the far end of the bar, costing the player a life. The player must draw and serve drinks to the patrons as they slowly advance towards the player. Patrons arrive periodically at the end of the bar opposite the player and demand drinks. The Tapper game screen features four bars. The 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. 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. It was intended to be sold to bars, with cabinets sporting a brass rail footrest and drink holders. Originally sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, the arcade version features a Budweiser motif. Tapper puts the player in the shoes of a bartender who must serve eager, thirsty patrons before their patience expires while collecting empty mugs and tips. Tapper, also known as Root Beer Tapper, is a 1983 arcade game developed by Marvin Glass and Associates and released by Bally Midway.
