Beck-Tech was the company of programmer Steve Beck, which developed Atari 2600 games for other publishers. The site lists one game under its name: Tapper, the conversion of Bally Midway’s 1984 bartending arcade game, published by Sega the same year. You fill mugs, slide them down four bars and catch the empties, with soda in place of the arcade’s beer. Beck-Tech also programmed Save the Whales for 20th Century Fox.

Tapper puts you behind the counter as a bartender trying to keep four busy bars supplied with drinks. It is the Atari 2600 version of Bally Midway’s 1984 arcade game, converted by Beck-Tech and published by Sega later the same year. The home version serves soda instead of beer, but the frantic job of filling mugs, sliding them down the bar and catching the empties is all there. You can play it here in your browser.
