Description

Another classic which was rather popular in its day. You're a beer tapper (barman) and have to serve beer to demanding customers. There are four customers, each has its own lane lengthier than the previous one, whom you have to keep at bay. If they reach the end of the lane, you're a goner; if you miss one and accidentally spill beer needlessly you lose a life and should one of them throw you back the mug and you fail to catch it, you lose a life as well.

Occasionally a bizarre icon will appear on one of the lines and, should you grab it, will invoke a "cabarette"-style show which will keep some of the customers occupied.

The Xbox 360 version includes bonus rounds, as well as co-op and versus multiplayer modes, also online, along with achievements.

Trivia

The game featured some "product placement" during the bonus round. I remember at least the Mountain Dew logo and I doubt this market was considered by their marketing department back in 1983. Whether they agreed that Bally Midway show their trademark or not remains a mystery.
