Tapper is a 1983 arcade game developed by Marvin Glass and Associates and published by Bally Midway. Players take on the role of a bartender working across multiple bar lanes simultaneously, sliding drinks down the counter to serve an ever-advancing crowd of patrons. Success requires not only delivering beverages before customers reach the bar but also collecting empty mugs and tips that slide back in return. The pace escalates as more patrons appear and the timing demands become increasingly precise. Failure results in the bartender being dragged off the counter and out of frame, while clearing a stage rewards him with a celebratory drink of his own. The game's straightforward but demanding mechanics made it a notable entry in early 1980s arcade culture.
