Warm beer anybody? Yech...also loling at the thought of somebody having to wash alcohol off their PCB when a gasket fails.

Haha, yeah, that's the only application anybody has been able to come up with. The integrated temperature controls are fine but the line has to run behind the LCD screen...seems incredibly dumb and accident-prone if you ask me.

Bally Midway produced the Budweiser branded Tapper upright and later on, produced the Mug Root Beer branded Tapper upright as well. I sure enjoyed grabbing some customer's change to temporarily distract them with a band or show act. Is one of those games that demands quick reflexes to catch all the empty mugs and still satisfy the beer guzzlers or root beer chuggers. ^_~

And let's not forget the odd-angled Williams made Wacko cabinet. Crazy marquee and control panel set at an angle. ^_~

Looks like an X-Arcade dual stick is bolted to the front of that one. :lol:

A friend of mine is building a mame cab and is set on an X-Arcade stick...I'm trying very hard to sway him into buying Sanwa or Seimitsu parts instead. :)

What's cooler is that Andi has 1337 posts, as I post this. Or Udderdude's Yui avatar. Either or.

Seriously though, what? Wouldn't playing arcade games while drinking be detrimental to your performance?

Uh, playing arcade games while drinking is SWEET AS SHIT bro, and besides, after you've had enough you cease to care about sucking. Some of my best nights have consisted of a couple friends, a couple fightin' games, and a healthy supply of alcohol.

"IIIRRROOON TAAAAGEEER!"

"Fuck you, Tager's fucking cheap!"

"lol you suck balls"

So yeah, while I like this idea on principle, 4000 dollars is a helluva lot of money when you could just stick a cooler next to your setup and call it a day and not have to touch diseased Happ (the very name makes my blood curdle) parts...
