Let's Compare ( Tapper )

[@DatNESGuy85]

I love how the ZXspectrum's music is just different tones of static

[@Dragonborn-dc4uj]

I can actually hear the music in the static.

[@sladkinable]

YOU MAD BRUH?!

[@Gxhbro]

Atleast they tried

[@mariojoan903]

Rip headphone

[@lucydavie7688]

Sounds like a dying animal

[@sonicmario64]

Being a fan of old-school video games, I was quite excited to see this game featured in the movie "Wreck-It Ralph" for sure. :D

[@game84cube]

Casey Decker yeah, but I'm sure they were trying to go for Root Beer Tapper, but the design of the bartender was still from the Budweiser Tapper. Oversight? I think NOT!

[@juancamilomarroquin3274]

Wreck-It Ralph should visit all the video game consoles of Tapper and the other games

[@digdug3769]

*Sad Dig-Dug noises*

[@sonicmario64]

@I Live In A 16-Bit Van Down By The 8-Bit River Now that you mention it, I was actually able to discover that game for myself when I had played "Midway's Arcade Treasures: Vol. 2" on the Nintendo Gamecube, and it is a pretty fun yet extremely underrated title as well. :D

[@frigginjoe]

There goes the ZX Spectrum sounding off to future alien overlords and mankind none the wiser.

It has the sound capabilities of a potato

[@tggc1983]

Probably.

Yes

Just wait till we neoGS it

[@DigiEggz]

Listening to the ZX version with headphones is a new life experience. It took me out of this realm.

[@Corsa15DT]

its transcending - Andy

[@TheCluelessYoutuber]

Who else muted on the ZX Spectrum version?

[@veronicagranados2186]

i tuned it out but now i can't hear anything and there's blood in my ears

[@Dragonborn-dc4uj]

I can hear the music in the zx spectrum version it’s just different tones of the static but it kind of sounds like the tapper theme

[@AceyMari]

the zx spectrum version sounds like someone just had a stroke for listening to this horrid theme

[@peite7878]

:) sounds more like a drone-pipe to me

[@ExplosionsCentral]

The transition from the ZX Spectrum version to the BBC Micro version was the greatest experience of my life

[@christiancontreras5057]

Grant Wish at 5:55 o’clock alternate moment even better

[@Swampgift]

I'm very impressed with the 2600 version.

[@stephenvoss6092]

Considering the limitations of the atari 2600 hardware its a very impressive port. It actually plays better than either the Apple or Atari 800 ports which have more advanced hardware. Apple I understand, but Atari 800?

[@MultiScooter68]

@@stephenvoss6092 And it plays better than the GODAWFUL Speccy version too!!!

[@stephenvoss6092]

Mountain Dew? Hmm... This game was MLG before anyone else was.

[@EthanHillegass806]

LEL!

the bbc micro version is making my eyes burn

[@batcat2338]

I seen this in the " wreck it RALPH" move, and it was epic

[@charleshein8133]

Now that is a creepy stare at 13:44

[@makaipaulson676]

lowkey, that's just pure nightmare fuel

[@OttoBittoSplatoon]

I loved the ColecoVision version of this game, one of my favourite arcades

[@GuitarAnthony]

Music on Spectrum equals PAIN!

[@conorburke1999]

The ZX Spectrum version sounds like it's being sung by frogs.

[@PauloRicck]

Wreck-It Ralph brought me here! =DDD

[@Woomiasty]

Uh not me but watched wreck it ralph 2 and it was great

[@hayleywaalen2612]

I gotta wreck it!

[@Ramozzzz]

I remember playing Barnyard on ps2, now I see the original version of that minigame

[@Escanimations]

4:33 I love that popping noise tho

[@aybaybaydog1fromtheuniteds720]

Tapper for the Nintendo 64 is the arcade.

[@neodonkey]

Yeah its emulating it, and you can see it is struggling.

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

Remember that scene in Wreck-It Ralph where Ralph was looking for a medal that he game-jumped into the Tapper arcade machine? (I also noticed that the movie removed the Budweiser logo because it was a Disney movie.)

[@neodonkey]

The ZX spectrum 48K has a 1-bit beeper. To produce a waveform involves the CPU rapidly turning on/off the beeper. It is CPU intensive, and so this is one of the reasons this sucks so bad. Even the original IBM PC (8088 @ 4.77 Mhz) has a dedicated timer chip (the PIT) connected to a speaker so tones can be generated with very little CPU overhead. The spectrum has to work even to produce a tone.

[@GamingHistorySource]

thanks for pointing that out. Correction made. :) & thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

[@HMayoralModestti]

From the thumbnail of the video, the cross of the A from the video game title makes it look like it says Fapper... lol. Never noticed that, prolly ´cause I wasn´t aware of the word FAP until a few years ago.

[@GamingHistorySource]

Ahh yes ! lord knows when I hear Old Suzana .. I just gotta fap ! lol

[@Dynaman21]

I've seen the original mostly at bars. There's actually a bar/old school arcade (hipster central!) by me which has an original Tapper machine, along with a spot to place your beers. Root beer Tapper on the other hands from what I recall, was mostly at all ages places.

[@kyoku1982]

All bars should operate like this!

[@spudsapoppin]

The ZX Spectrum sound effects could be used as some sort of torture device ;-).

[@massproducedeva_]

Did the player kinda forget you can run up the tables?

[@ブルーいえお]

There is no NES or Famicom version of tapper WOW...

[@Nintendo_69]

But a buggy N64 ver.

[@bonusmemez2739]

Blame Nintendo's strict practices back in the days of the NES/Famicom

[@andreaspittas1543]

ZX spectrum broke my ears! XO

[@Huntington12345678]

I love playing the Budweiser arcade version with MAME, on Vizzed daht kom.

[@lynchie137]

Me too. That one is awesome, man. I also like playing the emulated Colecovision version on Vizzed as well.

[@luniversdenoe76]

Is the atari 2600 a licensed version ?

[@daveheel]

i love the arcade version. i'd play it nearly every day after work.

[@JLOCLamborghiniFan88]

+daveheel On MAME?

[@daveheel]

no, on an arcade machine at an arcade. miss those.

[@JLOCLamborghiniFan88]

***** There's an arcade near me where I play Tapper at. Sorry if your jealous now. :(

[@ianhilmer2493]

Everyone’s going on about the ZX Spectrum version except for one thing, didn’t you notice it was the only one with a bonus round that used Pepsi, almost all the others used Mountain Dew 🥤

[@Visuttaja]

And it plays very smoothly

[@kevin12567]

Did you know you can run along the length of the bars to collect the empty mugs faster (and collect tips)?

[@kenshiro4869]

This is mario when his manager hired him to a drinking bar at 0:56

[@MultiScooter68]

GHS This is one instance in which you placed the Atari 2600 version below the Spectrum and the Apple. the graphics on the 2600 are pretty damn good for a system of it's limitations. And the sound/music on the 2600 is AWESOME - almost up there with the arcade.

[@ruslansmirnov9006]

10:36 the whoosh sound is identical to the hit sound in Konami's Knightmare.

[@FormerMrApple]

There's also a "Suntory" version for where Bud wasn't on tap, and most home ports used Mountain Dew for some reason as their liquid vibration of choice.

[@robbridges5020]

The bartender looks like he's polishing the pistol in the Apple II version.

[@peej459]

16:15 If Tapper was for the NES in 1985.

[@PuristRealist]

Yup, and apparently it also supports composite, which would again result in different colors. Strictly speaking I'm not sure if there is even a DOS version. The original release might have been a booter.

[@DDRUTOU]

Oh gosh....Was there ever a game on the ZX Spectrum that wasn't horrendous???

[@SP9_Qc]

the graphics of the version of tapper i played was in yellow and black. It was on an old computer that belonged to my grand-father. i would like to know if anyone has details about that... ty ^&^

7:51 worlds longest fart!

[@CorporalPig22]

5:45 Tapper just got MLG.... :P

[@ThunderFist1978]

That BBC Micro audio is such a relief after listening to the Spectrum monstrosity! BBC Micro is actually one of the best from an audio standpoint. It sounds like Master System quality.

I played this a lot (yep, I'm that old) in the DOS version. I remember another music (an amazing music) in a more advanced level, you have that one?

[@TheLoveMario]

the atari 2600 version looks actually impressive for the system. wait... 3:14 ... is that... MOUNTAIN DEW? Not only it's impressive but it's also MLG. lawl

[@wingnut4427]

I have a list of requests a mile long. It's proving difficult to keep up. I'll write it down but it may be a LOOONG time !

A very bad 8bit fart

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

You dont know what is a bepper and a lazy port right?

[@Diamondfist1]

This is one of my favorite games; I was lucky to have played the arcade version, but can't remember where. I know you're just demonstrating the different versions, but you don't get to show people how to catch the empty glasses by running up to them. I love how it looks like the drink goes up the bartender's nose in the bonus level in the BBC Micro version.

[@Escanimations]

I hate how the arcade ones are the only ones with the victory animation where he drinks something

[@Halbared]

I think all these ports do really well.

The 2600 version is remarkably complete for a 2600 game. The DOS version has better graphics and sound than the Apple ][ version, surprisingly. The ZX version sounds like hell.

To be honest, i tried looking for the Shockwave/Macromedia version and every time I tried it, it didn't work or it was almost impossible to find. I could use a little help finding one that works.

BBC Micro is the Speccy version how it would have been on a proper Speccy model 48 or 128k it's the same game look wise but the speed is perfect.

[@JLOCLamborghiniFan88]

Hey GHS! What emulators did you use for the ear piercing ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Atari 800, and Amstrad CPC versions?

[@GamingHistorySource]

+All Access Gaming ZX Spectrum = Spectaculator BBC Micro = BeebEM Atari 800 = Atari800Win Amstrad = WinAPE

[@JLOCLamborghiniFan88]

Gaming History Source Ok! Thanks!

[@boxingfocus]

How come the C64 version is so smooth compared to the others? Is that an emulator improvement? Or was the original that smooth too? Seems a bit too smooth. I grew up with a ZX Spectrum. I now feel terribly sorry for my childhood.

[@stephenvoss6092]

C-64 had graphical sprites in hardware and the video hardware was specifically created to make game programming easier. In fact C-64 was originally designed as a game console.

[@JLOCLamborghiniFan88]

7:50 OUCH!!!!!!!!

[@Fortuna1]

is possible include, in the next time, missile command??
