Tempest (テンペスト)

by SaraAB. Comment: "how could you not like tempest, well, maybe if your an operator you dont like it, known for its monitor probs, excellent gameplay and color vector graphics, and the cabinet is probably the best part of it, very artistic and nice to look at design" 2000-12-31 22:59:53Z

The gameplay was fast and frantic - the sound effects sound like Defender (or vice versa) - excellent when extremely loud. I had read somewhere that originally the gameplay was different - your `ship` remained static and the rest of the playing field moved around. Imagine that. I don`t think I would have liked it in that case. Thank phew that it evolved into the game we know now." 2003-02-18 09:04:27Z

A tip for other Tempest owners - I added a fan to the inside of the cabinet to keep the CRT display transistors from burning up. It hasn't failed since!
