Ice Cold Beer (Taito 1983) 🍺

In Ice Cold Beer, players use two joysticks to control a metal bar that moves up and down a wooden playfield dotted with holes, reminiscent of bubbles in a mug of beer.

The objective is to tip the bar to guide a ball bearing into specific lit holes while avoiding unlit ones. As players progress, the target holes become increasingly challenging to reach while navigating around unlit holes.
