Tested and working Atari Regulator / Audio II, Rev. 02 power supply board. This power supply board is used in many Atari games and works with pretty much any of them as it provides all the various voltages used by Atari games. Here is a list of games that it will work with:

  • Battlezone
  • Black Widow
  • Centipede
  • Cloak and Dagger
  • Crystal Castles
  • Dig Dug
  • Food Fight
  • Gravitar
  • Kangaroo
  • Liberator
  • Major Havoc
  • Millipede
  • Quantum
  • Red Baron
  • Return of The Jedi
  • Space Duel
  • Star Wars
  • Tempest
  • Warlords
  • Xevious
This board has been tested and works fine.

Please note if your game is smoking resistor R29 or R30 on the Regulator Audio board, this will not fix the problem. The problem is usually related to a bad edge connector or bad pins on the main circuit board in the game.




Quick Game Facts

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.
