Description

Fill mugs and slid them down the bars to customers. Don't waste any by sliding them down an empty bar or past a customer who is already drinking a mug. Unsatisfied customers will advance at you, and eventually toss you around. Drinking customers will back off for a bit or leave entirely. If you collect enough tips to cue the dancing girls, customers will be distracted from advancing (and from catching more drinks). Quench all the customers at once to advance to higher levels.

Trivia:
Several versions exist that promote different products. The original promoted Budweiser beer and was intended to be placed in bars. Later versions promoted Suntory brand drinks or generic root beer (100% non-alcoholic carbonated beverage) and were intended for arcades. The Suntory version was reportedly by Sega. but Sega denies this.
