Wow, that is one heck of a deal.
I love Tapper so much, and so does my girlfriend heh. I will own one before I die, that is for sure.

No not really. The original was made to go into bars, bars with legal, drinking-age patrons. When it did really well, they wanted a version for the arcades so they just changed it a bit and made it so it could go into arcades. I mean no one "forced" the company to make the change, it just allowed to them to appeal to a larger audience. Same with the home versions.
As for your deal for $200, it's a steal, that could fetch you $800 easy on ebay right now. Congrats!

And now, I am a bit wiser (or bud wiser).
Yeah I suppose if they released regular Tapper to the home systems (in the Midway Arcade Treasures specifically) they'd have to rate the whole package 'M'.
It's pretty true to life too! This one time, I walked into a bar and slowly crept my way towards the bartender constantly asking for a frosty brew. And when I got to him still without beer in hand I promptly slid him violently across the bar. Good thing he didn't try to distract me with can-can dancers. ;D

QuaterArcade has one (fully restored Budweiser version) ... and there asking $1,995.00 for it ;D (... so for $200 that's a really really sweet deal :D )

I have unfortunately seen at least one Mamed Tapper that still had sideart. Of course I have also seen a dedicated a dedicated Timber converted to video poker, and a dedicated Domino Man (with full sideart, and still had the 3D dominoes on the front) converted to an 8-liner.
