While im setting up my mister i gave it a go in mame - first run was a 16250 - was onto the third level when i realised i could run up and down the bar to pick up the empties and the money, and also go up from the top keg to the bottom keg.

I got this game for xmas on my speccy in 1985 so it has some nostalgia for me but i find myself never playing retro games like this on my mister since theres no challenge, so i hope this thread takes off!

Many thanks for this

Thanks! I never knew this and I'm amazed I missed ever doing this while playing. This really does help keep control a little longer, some of these alcoholics though, they never stop and go home .

Here’s todays attempt on mister

 

[!bluetonic!]

I think this is a great idea. I am terrible at games. On my Batocera box, it is on Mame, but doesn't load. The Amstrad version did load and it was a great game choice.

 

[Metalface Mark]

you can play it in a web browser too

I’m in the process of updating my arcade cabinet PC with a Batocera based mini PC. I’ll be joining in when it’s sorted (soon I hope) and back from my hols

31575, this game gets crazy fast at times.

Which version of tapper can we use?

Which version of tapper can we use?

I don't want to set strict rules as this is more for fun, and opening options means it's more accessible for everyone to get playing, so anything in which the game can be played.

I don't know the advantages or disadvantages between each versions, but I'm not picky. Just have fun.

SOunds good Which version did you use? I remember playing this on the PC decades ago lol.

Personally, all my attempts will be on MAME. Sometimes there may be a game selected that's only available through one kind of platform, but if there's more than one option, use any method available to you.

they are the same, just one has budweiser on it and one doesnt. Theres no way of changing difficulty on tapper either so everyone is playing on the same rule set.

Sounds interesting (1 credit)
Might try MKII and SF2 world warrior on hardest setting

 

[Armageus]

I tried, I failed. 7800

I used the Arcade version - Tapper (Budweiser, 1/27/84) via a web browser ("play Tapper online" via google)
