This game is almost exactly like the original Tapper except that the character you control is a soda jerk instead of a bartender, the beverage that is served is soda pop instead of Budweiser beer and the background music is different.
Like in the original game, the first level is a western saloon where the customers are cowboys and cowgirls. The second level is a sports bar where the customers are athletes including baseball players, football players, basketball players and tennis players. The third level is a punk bar where the customers are punk rockers and the fourth level is a space bar where the customers are strange alien creatures from other planets all over the universe.
You must serve everyone a soda pop before they work their way up to the kegs. You must also grab the empty mugs before they slide off the bar. Extra points are awarded for collecting tips. Bonus rounds involve locating and opening the one can that has not been shaken-up, and serving it.
Stages:
Personal Impressions and Technical Impressions each account for half of the total score.
Within the Personal Impressions category, Like
carries a little more weight than the other factors.

This nearly identical game of Tapper was later released because the law told Bally Midway that they were not supposed to advertise alcohol in the arcades to minors.
