Man - Thank you so much for posting this! This brings back so many memories from my carefree days in high school. Both my wife and I almost wanted to cry when we saw - and especially heard - this video. Owning one of these machines is definitely on our "lottery to do list". You were fortunate to find a machine with sharp resolution. As I remember, as time wore on in the arcades, the images would almost seem to "bleed" and lose the distinct sharp edges and colors. Thanks again for posting. -Mark
@WasntMeOfficer Hey thanks, very glad you enjoyed it! This one works well, it will overheat every now and again, but that's ok for a 30 year old game! The tubes do go funny in Tempest machines often, the "attract" screen (when the word "Tempest" zooms in with colored shadows) is allegedly very hard on the tubes, and causes premature failure.
dear, please tell me how, to use a pc, to start the game, to simulate the original arcade, the original arcade there wasn´t the windows xp when start the machine, how to to in this case, what emulator are you using? so thakns if you can help me, cause i want to do as the original cabinet
I used to be so good at this back in the day!

The first color vector game, and possibly the most expensive arcade game released at the time because of the new display technology used.

Best of luck in finding your own someday!
