One of our most requested and best selling games, this particular Tempest is in great condition. The original sideart is intact and is in very good condition given its age. This game has been completely restored, including, among other things:
- New control panel overlay (artwork).
- New spinner bearings.
- T-molding replaced.
- Original vector monitor completely rebuilt (new monitors are not available).
- New marquee overlay (artwork) installed.
- Power supply rebuilt.
- Coin door and metal brackets have been refinished.
See the pictures below for more details on this game's condition.
Please note in our experience Tempest games generally require a little more maintenance than most games. The original circuit boards seem to be more delicate than most others we work with. We do stock replacement circuit boards and are able to repair or exchange them if something were to happen.

Overview
In Tempest, you control a "shooter" that is moved around the outside of a fixed track. In many cases, this looks like a "tube" drawn in three dimensions. Enemies come up the tube, and you have to destroy them, and (hopefully) avoiding them if they make it all the way up to the top. You control your shooter with a spinner, shoot with a fire button, and you're given a "super-zapper" to use once on each level.
Coin-Op Overview
Tempest is one of the most collectible games. By many accounts, it is collected even more than games like Dragon's Lair and Pac-Man.
Later, a software (ROM change) was created that has new levels. It's called Tempest Tubes, and can be played by changing a few programmed ROMs.
