Tapper's Tavern (game)

Tapper's Tavern is a video game that appears as part of the Game Wand Arcade collection in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It is the Smurf analog of the Bally/Midway arcade game Tapper.

Gameplay
The player controls Tapper, who must satisfy his customers with sarsaparilla ale as they slowly make their way to the end of each of the four counters. To serve a mug of sarsaparilla ale, the player presses the A button to fill the mug, then releases the button to send it sliding down the counter. The player must be careful to make sure that there is a customer who can grab the mug to drink the ale, because otherwise the mug will slide all the way down the counter and crash on the floor, costing the player one of his turns. When a customer finishes a mug of ale before exiting, he will let the mug slowly drift back for Tapper to collect, but the player must collect it before it reaches the end of the counter, because it will crash and cost the player one of his turns. A turn is also lost if the player fails to serve a customer before he reaches the end of the counter, and that customer will respond by sending Tapper sliding down the counter toward the exit.
