Tapper
Описание игры
Тяжела и неказиста жизнь простого бармена. И даже не так важно, в каком баре приходится работать – в чистом и светлом, с множеством столов и большой барной стойкой, или в последней забегаловке города, где собираются лишь отбросы общества. Работа всегда остается одной и той же – знай подавай посетителям напитки, ловко наполняя стаканы и пуская их вдоль стола, да получай оплату, иногда звонкой монетой, иногда потрепанными купюрами. На ZX Spectrum в игре Tapper можно попробовать себя в роли бармена.
Эта игра представляет собой порт оригинальной игры с аркадного автомата на домашний компьютер «Спектрум», выполненный компанией Sega и изданный фирмой U.S. Gold. Сюжет прост. На игровом экране отображается фигура бармена и несколько барных столов, вдоль которых движутся посетители. Клиентам нужно вовремя метать склянки со спиртным при помощи кнопки «огонь», при этом перемещаться от стола к столу, чтобы никто не был обделен. Те, кому напитков не хватило, постепенно приближаются к бармену, и когда они его настигнут, последнего ждет участь быть протащенным по барной стойке «фейсом об тейбл». Напоенные посетители обычно уходят в дверь, за что игрок получает очки. Некоторые посетители швыряют пустой стакан в сторону бармена. В этом случае важно успеть подхватить стекло, не дать ему упасть на пол бара и разбиться. Точно также не стоит пускать стакан с напитком по пустому столу – стакан «доедет» до противоположного конца стола, упадет и разобьется. Игрок в этом случае теряет жизнь.
Между уровнями игрока ждет небольшой бонус – сыграть в «наперстки», только вместо цыгана выступает ковбой, а вместо наперстков — банки с «Пепси». Если удастся угадать, какую банку не трясли, то в этом случае игроку будет начислен бонус в 3000 очков. В случае неудачи игрока обольют пепси с ног до головы.
При игре в эту игру стоит помнить о том, что экран закольцован, то есть, перемещаясь к самому нижнему столу и нажав опять «вниз», можно оказаться у верхнего стола. Это здорово экономит время, особенно когда поток посетителей, которых мучает жажда, очень большой.

Bally Midway Tapper - Official Arcade Game
------------------------------------------
You are the frenzied bartender trying to keep the never ending flow of
thirsty customers well watered. You'll have to keep slinging sodas,
collecting your tips and occasionally guessing which cans of soda the Soda
Bandit has shaken.
As if that's not enough work for one bartender, try covering four
different bars with a different crazy crowd in each bar. There's the Old West
Saloon, the Jock Bar, the Punk Rock Bar, and the Space Bar.
Keep the sodas coming, but not too fast. You'd better be sure you've got
a customer without a drink or the drink will slide right off the bar and no
self-respecting bartender throws drinks away. Keey your eyes open for the
empties the customers sling back your way.

How To Play
-----------
Screen and Gameplay:
Tapper consists of five different game screens. The Old West Saloon, the Jock
Bar, the Punk Bar, the Space Bar and the Bonus Round which occurs between
each of the four bar scenes.
Bonus Round:
In the bonus round "Watch Closely" appears on the bottom left on the screen.
The soda bandit appears and shakes six of the seven cans on the bar then
shuffles them around. You will have to keep a close eye on the one can he has
not shaken. When the soda bandit has stopped shuffling the cans the bartender
will appear. Use the left and right to move him along to the can you believe
wasn't shaken and press the fire botton. If you have chosen correctly you
will receive 3,000 points. If you are wrong you will be sprayed with soda.
Bar Scenes:
In order to advance through each of the screens comprising the different bar
scenes, you must successfully sarve each of the customers as they approach
you at each bar. When a customer finishes his soda, he'll sling his mug back
to the bartender. The Bartender must catch the empty mug, or lose a life. To
collect added points, you may collect the tips the customer will
occasionally leave on the bar. When you grab the tip, a duo of dancing girls
appear on the stage. But be careful! When they do, the customers will
naturally turn around to see them and while their backs are turned, any mug
of soda you sling will end up on the floor! In order to survive the demands
of tending bar, there are three things you must avoid.
1. Do not allow a customer to get all the way to the Bartender's end of the
bar without a drink. If you do, the disgruntled customer will sling the
Bartender down the bar.
2. If the Bartender jumps the gun and slings a soda where there is no
customer to grab it, the mug will crash at the end of the bar.
3. After customers at the bar have gulped down their sodas, they sling thir
empty muga back to the Bartender, if he is still on the screen. Do not ley
the mugs get by. If they do, it will crash on the floor. Each time any of
these three events occur, your Bartender will lose one of his lives.
