@JamesPond47 Had a bit more of a play around with the variants of Tapper yesterday. The Budweiser and Suntory ones look like a simple logo-swap in all the expected places, and a minor change of text in the bonus stage to "this Bud's for you." Nothing other differences as far as I could tell.
@GameCycleUK @SupernerdsT Played it .. beat it ..
(Also gave up in a near rage many *many* times.)
😋
@russty_russ It was the start of that brilliant Carver game-of-mini-games style. 👍
@JamesPond47 Yeah. Same here.
It seems there were three (?) versions at the arcade: Suntory, Budweiser, and Root Beer (for places where they didn't want to promote an alcoholic brand to impressionable young kids.) 😁 But, to this day, I never saw it in the arcades, so don't have a preference.
@gamesyouloved I was just playing the Suntory version in MAME a couple of days ago. 👍 I'd love to see a proper arcade unit, and see what the controls are like with those beer-pull thingys.. 😁
@Lord_Arse Great wee game. 👍
I was severely addicted to it in the arcades, as a kid. 😁
@njpixelgaming Enigma Force is great.
Beyond really worked out a good icon interface, so you could play a whole squad-based game with lots of inventory manipulation. But it's an odd enough game that I don't think many people got into it. ..Lots of cool exploration/discovery in this. 👍
