Root Beer Tapper - Colecovision Game

Step into Sam's Soda Fountain and relive one of the most addictive arcade classics ever ported to the ColecoVision. Root Beer Tapper puts you in the shoes of a soda jerk racing against time to serve thirsty customers before they reach the end of the bar .

Originally released in arcades in 1983 as "Tapper," this root beer-themed version was developed specifically for home and family-friendly arcades, replacing the Budweiser branding with a soda fountain motif . The ColecoVision port arrived in 1984 and faithfully captures the frantic multitasking mayhem that made the arcade original a hit .

Every cartridge is backed by Retro vGames' 1-year functional warranty, so you can buy with confidence.
