Haha yes don't give out any clues. If you read the history dat it mentions what we do.

Wow! Scores are jumping as we approach the Weekend! Nice dudes! Tapper is hard but fun for sure! Makes me want beer!

Loved this one on c64. Never loved me back though.

xHyperSteve · August 9, 2014

First time I've ever heard of this game, so obviously first time playing it. I didn't do to good lol. Hopefully i can get better and develop some sort of technique.

xHyperSteve · August 9, 2014

Yeah, Tapper is pretty classic. The kid version that was released on consoles and conpilations was called Root Beer Tapper. But Tapper itself is legend. Makes me want a beer so bad! Good score for starters bro!

Whoa nice score boohiss, have you been like playing non-stop or something? I cant even get over a 15,000 score on this one. I keep losing on round 3.

I'll post me score up later.

Edit: Ah im getting the hang of it, especially when running to collect the glasses

Oh and for people recording using phones and cameras you can just press Print Screen on the keyboard and it will save the screenshot of the Mame games in its own hyperlaunch folder here (If you use HyperSpin with HyperLaunch)

.\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Media\Artwork\*SYSTEM*\*GAME NAME*\Screenshots

Alternatively you can just press Print Screen and open any image editor even MSPaint and Press Ctrl+v or use the toolbar paste button then save the entire image as a screenshot.

I really liked this game on c64, honestly i've never seen it in arcades

The kid version that was released on consoles and conpilations was called Root Beer Tapper.

Actually it was an arcade first, made specifically for arcades and Chuck E. Cheese'ses.

Hey, since it looks like you're going to do these high score things every week. You should post links to each previous challenge in your main post from now on.

xHyperSteve · August 10, 2014

Thanks for the info homie! I'll post links next round

boohiss · August 11, 2014

Woohooo! Finally got to the alien bar levels! Oh, and a new score . And Min2001, I play it a few times a day, not non-stop. It is one of my favorite classic games though.

xHyperSteve · August 11, 2014

WOW! Some awesome score jumps this weekend!! You guys are great!! REMEMBER THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MONDAY *AUGUST 11, 2014* (@8PM), CALIFORNIA TIME (It will always be Monday night now so I can have things ready after work.)!!!

cowbells · August 11, 2014

I've got a Tapper at home and I've done better on it, but damn I can never get past the punk rockers. They're just too needy.

59550 be the score. I thought I'd be able to top that but must not be my day. Oh well!

cowbells · August 11, 2014

Haha yes don't give out any clues. If you read the history dat it mentions what we do.

Dude you gotta milk those cowboys!

Actually milking the punks was always my secret. I'll never be as good as this fella so I gotta do something to get a high score!

Min2001 · August 11, 2014

Right I gave this a good go today, finally got upto a decent score.

gigapig · August 11, 2014

Right I gave this a good go today, finally got upto a decent score.

Wow that screen shot looks 3d on my phone in red and blue. Nice scores everyone, my daughter likes Tapper, perhaps I'll post her score;)

The scoring system of this game at first seems "broken" but it's really interesting. Grinding levels is important if you care about score but grinding too much will led you to die.

The only downside is grinding cowboys is really boring but it is mandatory as you can reach second bar in 20k range
