    Part of why we're so excited for the iOS rebirth of Tapper is its look, created by animation legend Don Bluth (Dragon's Lair, Space Ace). As neat as Tapper World Tour has looked in screenshots, it's even lovelier in motion, as you'll see for yourself in this trailer.

    Do you remember the classic arcade game Tapper, or Root Beer Tapper, as the kid-friendly version was called? If so, you are old. And, like the rest of us old folks, you're going to be totally thrilled to hear that it's coming back. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution just announced a new version for iOS called Tapper World Tour. Finally, you'll be able to have the game about pouring beer, and that one app that looks like you're pouring a beer, on the same device! WB promises "advanced gameplay" for this year's game, based on the good old premise of serving beers to lines of customers, then clearing up the mugs and collecting tips. The new version has new hand-drawn graphics courtesy of animation legend (and The Dragon's Lair Guy) Don Bluth.%Gallery-115676%

    Not to be confused with the highly controversial and equally disturbing hunting sim, Rude Bear Trapper, this Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade release is none other than the classic study in bartending technique, Root Beer Tapper. Being the non-alcoholic version of 1983's Tapper, the game sees players tending to a bunch of surprisingly demanding bar patrons. Failure to deliver the beers, excuse us, root beers, to your dehydrated cowboy and football player patrons often results in a gross violation of personal space. Just imagine how rowdy the hard alcoholics must get!Appended to the Xbox 360 version of the game are the usual enhanced graphics, gamerscore points, online versus and co-op modes and, of course, a 400 point price ($5). Catch your mugs, tend your bars and tap your root beers this Wednesday at 1AM PST.
