1981 Atari Tempest

[ArcadeHacker]

Hi all, i'm proud to share that finally I have the Atari Tempest at home (thanks monty for the smooth transaction).

I simply love this game and its playability. IMO this is a game that truly deserves to be collected since it cannot be emulated to its full glory (vector monitor).

Below is a video of the game play and another of the peculiar way this machine had to be elevated into my apartment! (did not fit the elevator nor the stairs, lol)

ED - nice to see the Tempest safe and sound. Seems strange to think a couple of weeks ago that was in my garage in Farnborough

The manual is in the post BTW...

Great vids, and cracking machine!

Good god, how did you get it off that platform?

I was just thinking the same. I think the answer would be along the lines of 'very carefully'!
