Ikrananka Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Root Beer Tapper Sam's customers really know how to put it away the root beer! In fact, they drink it down as fast as you serve it up . . . sometimes even faster! You're the only soda jerk on duty, so you have to really hustle to keep up with the orders. Things get pretty messy if you don't do it just right. Mugs crash off the counter if you serve too fast or grab the empties too slowly. And if drinks don't come pronto, the customers get downright mean. They'll pick you up and toss you out of the fountain!Ah, but soda jerking does have its rewards. Pick up the tips to set off colorful floor shows. And if you're good, you'll roll out the root beer in four colourful screens! Tie on your apron and go with the flow; fun for the whole family is always on tap at Sam's place!

cparsley Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Root beer tapper was the child version to strip the beer references the arcade game "Tapper" had... Love serving from the actual TAPPER the console had on the machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is to do with the file extension used. The .rom extension is most certainly blocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I wasn't going to submit another high score for this game unless someone went ahead of me, but then I decided to do one on the real machine instead of the emulator.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What`s a good Colecovision emulator to use? I use MEKA, it emulates CV very well.. no problems like I had with VirtualColecovision. MEKA is made for Sega, but one of it's Consoles it plays is Colecovision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
