Popular Post Doctor Octagon Posted May 15, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 This is really cool Tempest 2000 arcade cabinet conversion done by Jeff Mathews at Classic Arcade Restorations, for Eric Clayberg. Eric posts: Internally, it's running a 1994 Atari Jaguar and the Tempest 2000 game designed by Jeff Minter (which is itself a remake of the Dave Theurer 1981 arcade classic, Tempest - my all time favorite!). Externally, it is designed to look like an actual dedicated co-op arcade game that could have actually been built by Atari. The attention to detail is amazing (as expected from Jeff!)... custom marquee, control panel, side art, etc. It also has a kick ass sound system built in that does incredible justice to the amazing Tempest 2000 soundtrack. Jeff spent several months researching and building this project, and I am utterly amazed by the results.

Arenafoot Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 That really does look like an actual Atari cab/artwork!

Me too. This genuinely looks like the real thing. Very cool. Wish I could have this in my little games room.

DegasElite Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I am liking this! Loving the authentic retro style, as it reproduces the look of the original almost exactly. Great work! Edited July 24, 2017 by DegasElite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Furthermore, I think that Tempest creator David Theurer would enjoy it if he saw this. It looks so much like the original case. Kind of like an homage to those intrepid designers at Atari. Again, well done. Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
