Tapper

Tapper also known as Root Beer Tapper was released by Bally Midway in 1983. The goal of the game was to not let the mugs fall on the ground and to push the customer completely off the screen. The player serves customers by filling a mug at one of the four taps on the wall; the tap automatically slides the mug towards the customer. Customer catches the mugs that slid towards them. If a mug is not caught by a customer and it falls of the bar table you then lose a life for the player. If the mug was caught then it pushes the customers back off the screen. This game reminded me of the game called Cooking Fever. This game was challenging but fun at the same time.

Domino Man

Domino Man was released by Bally Midway in 1982. The main goal of Domino Man was to set up all the dominoes on every site marked by black dots. You will have pedestrians trying to knock over the dominoes; the Domino Man can shove them away from the dominoes. A killer bee is always popping up to sting Domino Man; there is also a neighborhood bully who is way bigger than Domino Man who can be stunned but not shoved. After player has set up all the dominoes they will have a choice on continue play increasing domino value or knock them all down, then you can move on to the next level. With Domino Man I had to be observant because anything and everything will try to make you lose.

Lady Bug

Lady bug is an insect-themed maze chase produced by Universal Games, the game was released in 1981. Lady Bug was inspired by the game called Pac-Man. The goal of Lady Bug was to eat all the flowers in the maze while avoiding the insects that are trying to get you. Unlike Pac-Man lady bug had its cheats on how you could get away from the insects by shifting any twenty green gates that was in the maze. The game Lady Bug was a very challenging game to me, even though the game had its cheats I still wasn’t able to out run the insects.
