Always enjoy your ramblings and enthusiasm for Arcades :)

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Why thank you, sir! I'll keep on rambling then!

@garogercade7850 Месяц назад

I really enjoyed this video! Great job on this restoration.

@overtimearcade Месяц назад

Thanks! Not bad for a complete NOOB several years ago! 😅

Your Robotron and Tempest machines are 2 of my fav all time arcade games. I'm very jealous! lol

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Thanks, they’re two of my favorites too! And I’m planning to restore the SECOND Robotron project cabinet hiding out in the back of my garage soon!

A great game & I love the cabaret cab. Great work Charlie 👍

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Thanks, Swainy! I do have a soft spot for cabarets!

@alexxbaudwhyn7572 2 месяца назад

Love the cabaret form factor. Smaller size, weight vs the full uprights, plus Atari cabarets have the nice glass marquee below the cp. Also like the woodgrain sides. Easier and cheaper to maintain and restore or refinish. When machines are packed next to each other in home or commercial arcades like this, can't see the side art anyways

@Omega_Mark 2 месяца назад

Yep, plus these cabinets still have a full size monitor.

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

I just wish someone would find a good match for the original woodgrain vinyl!

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Exactly -- in fact, I don't think there was ever a 13" color vector monitor released in an arcade cabinet...?

@@overtimearcade Shouldn't be a big deal to scan the vintage woodgrain veneer and have a good print shop, graphics shop make vinyl appliques replicas

@@overtimearcade Also, plenty of curbside and thrift vintage desks, cabinets, bookshelves made of mdf, high density particle board or plywood with similar woodgrain made through the 80s, 90s Been stocking up on old Sauder desks, bookcases found curbside to use as stock for cabinet builds, some with 80s woodgrain, some black finish

@GalagaGuy88 2 месяца назад

Wow that sounds like a ton of work! It looks amazing

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

It sure was, but Tempest is worth it!

@Omega_Mark 2 месяца назад

Great job on the restoration. Congrats on owning a Tempest 👍. 16:47 Just a small suggestion for your gameplay here. You are at the worst location to get these red Flippers and you lose a lot of lives here. They just need 90 degrees of travel to get to you. If you are at the position next to it, they need to rotate 270 degrees (takes longer, as they have less momentum) to get you. Try to maximize that travel angle, so you have more time to shoot at it.

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Thanks, and I appreciate the tip -- I need all the help I can get!

@arcadeerik2603 2 месяца назад

Looks great Charlie, love Tempest. My high score is just a little under yours, now I have to get back on my Tempest and beat your score. Thanks for the push, to beat your high score. Haha. :)

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Thanks, Erik! My top high score doesn't count since I was continuing via the Skill Step advance!

@arcadeerik2603 2 месяца назад

@@overtimearcade So what is your score? What are you saying you can't start using the upper level start? It's part of the game? why not? But do you have a score starting from level 1 would love to know what it is to try to beat that score.

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

I think for tournaments, they don't want you starting from any higher than level 9. The official Twin Galaxies tournament ruleset includes this: "Special Rules: You may start your game from from Wave 1 to no higher than Wave 9 [54K Completion Bonus]."

@VHSArcadeVault 2 месяца назад

Love tempest. I can't wait to find a good deal on one local

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Good thing Atari made a ton of them. Avoid the cocktail version though, as they're apparently cursed!

@nrnoble 2 месяца назад

I have owned an Atari Tempest cab since 1983. I recently replaced the failing game boards with a dedicated FPGA running Tempest. Plugs right into the existing harness. I can't tell any difference.

@alexxbaudwhyn7572 2 месяца назад

@@nrnoble make, model, brand, link to the Tempest Fpga board? Thanks

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

Interesting... is that the one by Scott Swazey as seen on John's Arcade?

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

You beat me to asking that! I'm wondering if it's this one: tempestfpga.com/tempestfpga/

@alexxbaudwhyn7572 2 месяца назад

@@overtimearcade Real question is, what are the known deviations in behavior (sound, video, gameplay, feel, etc) using the current best software emulators to run Tempest roms vs original pcb hardware? If none are known, I'm inclined to just build a Temoest cocktail or cabaret replica cab running the rooms on emulation but with original controls or commercial grade spinner, buttons that feel and play the same as OG

@overtimearcade 2 месяца назад

You'll still need a 6100 color vector monitor for the true experience, which is likely the most expensive part of the entire ensemble. Plus, you could probably buy a non-working Tempest boardset and get it bullet-proofed by an expert for less than the FPGA emulation board costs.
