US Gold/Sega, £9.95 cass, £12.95 disk, joystick and keys

The licensed version of the fast and frantic beer-pumping, glass-sliding arcade game.

You are a barman in charge of four bars and of course it's your job to keep the advancing customers happy by sliding them drinks and collect the empty glasses slid back to you. Sounds easy? Not when there are loads of them, each gasping for a drink!

Filling the beer glasses and slinging them down the bars to get rid of the customers is easy on the first level, the cowboy bar. On subsequent levels, the punk bar, sports bar, and alien bar, the going really gets tough with customers pouring through the doors.

In between bars is a great bonus round where you have to remember which can of drink is empty after it's been shuffled around. Guess wrong and you get soaked.

Graphics on this conversion are stunning, large and detailed, and great jingles play throughout.
