I ordered a 1943 machine from New Wave Toys and am waiting to get it in the mail in a few days. I can't stop watching all the videos about the other machines they make. Just discovered your channel and your video is really good. Subbed!
Excellent review. I got mine a month ago. So much fun and an exactly replica of the classic tempest video game console. NewWaveToys brought me here from facebook.
My nephew is 9 and is obsessed with Atari , We loved the history lesson at the beginning of the video, keep up the awesome work! We love our replicade centipede and tempest and our glad you played yours as well. Don’t stop a rocking!
Thank you for watching! I did an interview with Numskull about their Pac-Man 1/4 scale and I'm just editing my Replicade Centipede video at the moment which is the same format as this one 😊😊😊 Your nephew has good taste!
That looks amazing, one of the best mini arcades I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
The build quality is really high yeah! Thank you for watching 😃
Your excitement is palpable and infectious!
Thank you! I got to play the original Arcade machine the day after I put this video up too! Wish I had known so I could have put a clip in but nevermind lol! I will do a video on the Jaguar one day and talking about Tempest will happen again there! I've filmed a video of the Replicade Centipede to put up next week and I got to interview the Numskull guys about their Pac-Man Quarter Scale if you wanted to see more mini arcades! :)
You are a very cool chic, knowing all that about my absolute number one arcade machine. I played it from day one in 1981 and quickly became an expert, made it into the invisible levels within a few weeks of playing it, winning many t shirts and trophies for high score along the way, I remember some kid finally beating all 99 levels about six months in, from some game magazine of the day. Bottom line, I could play it for almost two hours on one quarter...lol. Here's a little known secret. I discovered early on, that the Super Zapper actually worked twice each level! Albeit, it only gave a last ditch zap by killing the ONE demon that was in closest proximity to you!!! In other words, rather than zapping all monsters coming at you, it would only kill the closest one to you, and it saved my bum many a time... That's a secret from the past for you. Excellent review!
Cheers! More to come as well 😊
Thank you for bringing me back to one of my favorite video games. Thank you for the proper treatment.
Thank you for watching! 😊 Which version did you play? The original Tempest or 2000?
This was the first coin-op I ever played and it has a special place in memories. Pre-ordered this as soon as it was posted and received it the other day. Could not be happier with replica and looking forward to their upcoming releases. Packaging was great too and appreciated the plethora of extra spinners they included.
Glad you're enjoying it! I've also got a video of the Centepide one up & will be filming a Street Fighter one soon too! 😃
Thank you the review, I so want this!
I really love it! I rarely get to go to arcades or feel like a giant & this lets me do both 😂
Oooh! Loving the look back at an Atari classic and the little attention to details / mini nub and coins!
Thank you! I've already covered the Numskull Pacman a while back and I'm editing the Replicade Centipede as we speak! 😊😊😊😊
@@TristaBytes Soon you'll be able to open up a mini arcade in the Bytes Mansion!
Lol! I only have the one - the Pac Man was on day loan from Numskull as was a prototype and the Centipede belongs to my mate from Asobi Tech! But maybe one day... an arcade for cats! They will come from far and wide to compete at street fighter!
Great video. Lots of detail. Looks like a nice mini cab.
LOL @24:02
Thank you for watching! Yeah it's got a really high level of detail. Lovely presentation box too. You gonna get any of these?
If they did a Marble Madness one my be :)
Next one is Street Fighter which looks pretty badass!
Gosh, that is really loud! Great vid thank you. I spent some time playing this at the last EGX, great fun!
Yeah and that was not full volume! And the mic was on the floor! They have put some serious speakers in these little machines :)
I'm just editing the Centipede video as got to borrow that one off a friend, I will hopefully get to borrow the Street Fighter when that launches too! :)
Thank you for watching!
@@TristaBytes ooh I shall look forward to watching those! I love these retro games, takes me back to a time when gaming was a bit more zen and my musical tastes were very questionable :)
Did you see my video on the Numskull mini Pack Man arcade unit a while back? I also covered last year's Power Up retro gaming event in London at the science museum which is back soon!
Thanks for the vid, such great commentary 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! The Replicade Centipede is to follow and I already covered the Numskull mini Pac Man a while back as well :)
Woo hoo 👌 Looking forward to it! Saw your Paccy one too 👍
I've been on a Tempest binge and all this info is great!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!! After this video i discovered Tempest 4000 as well on Steam! Tempest is the gift that keeps on giving 😃😃😃😃 Thank you for watching 😊
@@TristaBytes yes I've been playing T4K for about a month on ps4 too! would the steam version have support for the rotation?
I haven't had a chance to play yet so i shall find out!!!
You make some hecking awesome videos. But I absolutely howled at that high tech turn table 😂😂.
And peeling screen protector film is super satisfactory.
My turntable is top of the range technology lol! I've been using it since my Jedi Challenges video and it still works! Now that's quality tech you can rely on!
Tempest. So purrrdy 😍 I'd love to get one of these myself. I have the Street Fighter 2 one pre-ordered already. If it's half as good as this I think we're all in for a treat. Great video and really in depth! Great job...and the turn table rocks 🤟
Thank you! Nothing but the best high budget turntables for my viewers lol 🤣🤣🤣
Jealous you're getting the street fighter cabinet. You seen its got a controller for player 2? Clever workaround 😊
As someone who collects books on video game history, I appreciated the lesson. Thank you
I covered Centipede too in a similar format. Id also recommend Kim Justice's channel & DJ Slopes Games Room for awesome in-depth gaming histories! 😊
I thought the history added a lot to the review as well. Well done.
great video! loved the history
Thank you! Tempest is a game I really love so was glad to have a chance to do a video on it!
Centipede Replicade video is also filmed - will get that edited and up in a few weeks!
I've pre-ordered the Street Fighter II cab, but it would be nice to have some machines from the '90s, like Ridge Racer or something.
The street fighter cabinet is something I'd love to see!
Thank you for dropping by 😊
@@TristaBytes no worries :)
Great old school game. Wish for a Star Castle mini soon. That was/is a great game.
Tempest 2000 is the only reason I want to own an Atari Jag! Great video as always! Loving the new backdrop 😀
Did you forget AvP? That's amazing on the Jag! Thank you for watching. Yeah I'm really happy with the backdrop! Was worth the effort and bruises lol 😊😊😊
I have one for this reason, but the vita version tempest Xk (and now the ps4 version tempest 4000 is reduced in price) make it kind of obsolete for me... it is gaming history, that's for sure
There was also a fantastic port of Raiden, it had a Doom port by McCarmack himself, had ports of the outstanding games Syndicate and Cannon Fodder and Rayman. Yeah, sure by far not enough good games for a system, and vastly inferior to the Saturn, but it was more than a only - Tempest 2k - system.
Tempest 2000 on the Sega Saturn is one of my favourite games on that console. Great visuals and the music is really trippy!
Yeah the soundtrack is epic!
I just received Tempest today! It’s incredible! It looks awesome next to my Centipede game. I’m looking forward to Asteroids and Dragons Lair 👍🏼
Awesome! I got to borrow a Centipede and do a video on it (goes up next week). I've also got a video on the Quarter Arcade Pac-Man which was cool!
I'm a bit too young to remember arcade culture as it was happening (just turning 30) so seeing history videos like this one is great and those made by Kim Justice too. Back in the 90s and early 00s there was very few ways to see or connect with the past. Now its so much easier and thats a good thing. For we are basically built from our past.
Thank you for watching. Yeah it's awesome we can share these bits of our history! Kim's videos are amazing. I was so happy when I got to do a video with her. Was just playing games with her at the Cambridge Computing Museum too! 😃😃😃
Holy crap that thing is loud, I thought someone was knocking on a door when I first heard it. Looks like a cool little replica
Yeah and I had turned it down and the mic is on the floor! The thing has quite banging sound!
I used to play the Tempest every Friday night when when the family would get Pizza and Chicken for late night movie night. I want this game!
Look amazing
Excellent coverage! These dinky replica cabinets aren't really my jam, but it's easy to appreciate the love and care that's gone into them.
Yeah they are adorable! Tempest is one of my favourite games so was super excited for this one 😃
I saw my first Tempest in Las Vegas... not in America... Soho, London... roughly around 1982... Las Vegas was the name of the arcade... I used to bunk off school and get the train from the leafy home counties to the hustle and bustle of the big smoke... I knew my route from Waterloo station to Soho... another arcade called Family Leisure was round the corner almost... anyway I fell in love with game... it was raw, the sounds, the pin sharp graphics... the controls, the game-play... it was perfect... I used to stare at the little points between the lines and get lost in the vectors... I met the world champion of Atari Gravitar there one day playing Tempest... he told me of the credits trick and the choose any level trick... this is a fantastic bit of kit isn't it... you know a good Atari Star Wars would be amazing... anyway I'm making my own arcade game... hey ho
It's an awesome game. If I won the lottery it's the cabinet I would buy! Along with a proper DDR machine modded to run step mania! Maybe Street Fighter 2 & Soul Calibur as well... Damn... This is already getting out of hand lol 🤣
Thank you for watching!
I'm in love..... With the box copy of tempest 2000 and then the mini arcade like wow its soo cute ... But the spinner control being clicky and not smooth is a shame......my fav version is ps vita txk... Love that game and sooo pretty too..... Anyway.. Well done and so enjoyed this x
My £5 copy of tempest 2000 is a prized possession!
The controller is perfectly usable. It's just very different. But I can see why it will potentially annoy arcade fans. Thank you for watching and commenting 😃
This was AMAZING..... I want one
I've filmed a video of the Centipede one as well! It's also rather good!
I’m very curious about these little machines. Might go ahead and order one
Yeah they are pretty cool! They have a long list of more they are hoping to make too 😊
This looks totally awesome! I did read a while back that there was some input lag on the controller, but maybe they have fixed that now?
BTW you spinning the cabinet around by hand put a smile on my face! 😀
My production budgets are off the charts lol! I didn't notice any lag myself filming this 😊
Thank you for watching 😃
@@TristaBytes I think it was a great idea to do it the way you did; that tentative hand in the first clip was just perfect! 😃 Good to hear that there's no lag, because this one is tempting me... a lot!!
I played it for about 20 minutes to test it out. My high budget turntable will make an appearance in my Replicade Centipede video - It's also in my Numskull Pac Man video as well I think! :)
hey nice video they had a booth at PRGX I bought that keychain for cheap love it, those machines are a work of art :) ps your a doll
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah they're good little units! I've done one on their Centipede cab too & filming one on Streetfighter this week! 😊😊😊
@@TristaBytes cool what do you mostly collect? i am into 2600/Colecovision and PS2 and ps3 for modern stuff and decorative stuff of course :)
So cool. The sound is amazing! I think it might be a bit fiddly to play some games at this scale though.
Seeing how the Street Fighter one plays will be interesting for sure! Thats a tough game to play gently lol
@@TristaBytes Indeed!
You need to read/listen to the book version of Ready Player one as the mention Tempest and the credits exploit. Some nice bits of info on Tempest I was not aware of at all. Great job.
I do! I have the audiobook now - just need to be awake enough to listen to it lol!
My all time favourite arcade game - along with Defender / Stargate
Mine too! 2000 is my favourite version as thats what i played first and most but still love the cabinet! The Street Fighter one looks kinda cool too. Fingers crossed i get to review it 😊
Man how I loved to play this as a small kid in the 80s.
It's one of my fav games! I had Tempest 2000 on the Jag & played it so much I used to dream about it lol!
Very Awesome :)
Thank you! 😃😃😃
If you are really into Tempest (and who isn't) you might wanna give N2O on the PS1 a try. No it was NOT created by the big Yak, but next to the Arcade original it's the most playable Tempest game out there and doesn't suffer like the other ports (2000,3000,4000, X3) from not having a rotary controller). The Soundtrack is by The Crystal Method and adds vastly to the immersive experience. N2O plays great, can still be had for just a few quid as it's pretty obscure and was made by Gremlin. In my humble opinion, although it's just a clone, it's several leagues ahead of Tempest X3 on the PS1 in terms of playability. You may wanna look up a video on it, to decide if you are interested in it.
I seriously bloody love Crystal Method & Tempest so I'm sold!!!! Thank you!
I used to play that so much back in the day and recently got it for PC. Now I wonder if this is actually where the idea for N2O came from!!
Looking great in the Pocket Pixel Design Sega Master System Joypad T-shirt.
It's absolutely awesome! Thank you for letting me jump the queue and be a Sega fangirl ahead of everyone else!!! People are already asking how to get one & I've told them they gotta watch your social media for the release & can't have mine lol 😂
Jeff Minter did an amazing job on Tempest 2000.
These look nice and I'd love to collect a few of the classics but I wonder how much they'll end up just as, admittedly pretty awesome, display collectibles.
Nice video this.
The idiot is literally obsessed with constantly remaking the game. I just wish he put more attention to other arcade classics rather than be on a endless tempest remake thing. I just got his PS4 version.
Thank you for watching! Tempest 2000 was amazing. I think most people will just either never unseal the box or keep these on a shelf. But the facts is playable is pretty awesome!
Hanniffy Dinn Jeff Minter an idiot? That’s pretty damn harsh. As I understand it, he was commissioned and paid pretty dam well for Tempest 3000 on the Nuon.
Asobi tech well come one, he’s an idiot for constantly remaking Tempest endlessly. I mean such talent could be better applied to other arcade classics. The best version of Tempest of his is Space Giraffe. Before that was a version of tempest on the VITA.....His latest game, is yet another tempest for PS4, which I have....I’m sure his next game is yet another version of Tempest. Predicable to say the least.....
@@hanniffydinn6019 The two most likely options are that either the money is in him making more Tempest. Or that he just loves and is only interested in perfecting that game now? I'd love to try 3k & 4k to see the differences to be honest!
Interestingly an article I recently read which was a rather through investigation into the story behind Polybius, concluded that Tempest was the game that people started making stories around as it was the only Tempest like game out in the area. The men in black part of the story came in that 3 Tempest cabinets in the Portland area were taken by the Feds to use in a gambling raid in Seattle. The smokey glass bezel allowed for the hiding of a camera.
Yeah I've heard various stories where Polybius might have been Tempest. Its an interesting urban legend for sure!
Well here's the article if you'd like a read. retrobitch.wordpress.com/2015/10/29/reinvestigating-polybius-with-2015-update/
Thank you 😊😊😊
@@TristaBytes No worries.
Your Master System tee is the next item I need to order from PocketPixelDesign.
Yeah I might have sneakily gotten hold of that one ahead of release lol! SEGAAAA! 🤣
I was about to ask where I could get the same shirt ! LOL
@@darrelmorrisjr7468 it will be released by my mate at Pocket Pixel Designs very soon - they release weekly so you gotta watch their social media to grab that weeks one at the intro price. They have the Atari joystick out and the NES controller launches tomorrow! 😊😊😊
@@darrelmorrisjr7468 pocketpixel.design
Nice boxes are my wife’s bane! Lol. “Sorry, Hun. Yes, I have to keep all of these boxes.”
Haha. They take up room for sure!
This game had some of the best video game music ever!
Are you thinking of the sequel?
Tempest 2000 has awesome music! Jaguar version all day long!
@@Larry ah yes, I got it mixed up
That's ok! I talk about both I'm the video 😊
Love the cameo of 'Thing' from Addams Family.
Yeah he has trouble finding roles so he works for me for cheap 🤣🤣🤣
This video is really well edited.
Also how much does it cost?
Thank you - I did put a fair amount of time into that one! Oh no - did I not mention that? Darn it - I mention it in the Replicade Centipede one I am editing right now! It's $120 from the US. I don't know about UK stockists but there may be some.
Hello...did you finish Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar? I did in the 90s(bought my Jaguar in early 1994 and waited for games to be released), one web is an INCREDIBLE sticking point...the cross-hair/“+” sign web(so HARD to see the enemies...blindside)...get past it and you then have a chance to finish the game and see Jeff Minter’s Yak.
Trista Bytes...COOL...I have an Atari VCS-II on order...Indiegogo backer...and am looking forward to Tempest 4000 on the system...that will be one of my first purchases. Minter’s Defender 2000 is INCREDIBLE as well(gameplay + soundtrack + visuals)...I have gotten SO FAR in the game but have never finished it...hopefully he does a Defender 4000 as well.
Hopefully! And more LLamatron type games! We need more! He's such a lovely guy too :)
They released the names of the next 2 replicades. Dragon's Lair and Asteroids.
And Street Fighter is almost ready too! Hoping to get to try those as well 😊😊😊
I want one. A headphone jack and HDMI out would've been cool.
I bought the last Centipede they had as they have no more and will NOT make anymore... So basically I got their last one they made being sold straight from the owners of New wave Toys during E3.... When I was about to leave work, Peter one of the co-founders text me that they have found one last Centipede in the car and if I wanted it to hit him up ASAP... No shit, of course I ran the hell over there with an awe.... brand new box and all and because they went to the trouble to give me their last Centipede as they will not make anymore of them, I bought their last Tempest cabinets they had left there.... One I display and the other I keep in its box brand new for the future! You have to see these in person to realized how exactly I always wanted someone to make them at such a small scale soo close to the original arcades! They are the only once that have delivered that and no other comes close!
That's awesome! So glad you got one in the end. I borrowed a friend's Centipede to do a video on it but alas obviously didn't get to keep it. The Tempest is mine though ALL MINE! Mwahahaha! 😍
Are you going to pick up Street Fighter or any of the others? 😊
I received mine! But no keychain.
Oh wait... was this a kickstarter? Maybe that’s why no keychain. It’s so awesome!
The speaker is better than my dedicated 1up tempest.
Treated meself to the Pacman one the other month. Great for display but a bit too small for my meat hooks.
Still love it though.
The Numbskull Pacman I tried was bigger at 1/4 scale. These are pretty playable at 1/6 though! I've filmed a video of the Centipede cabinet as well that I hope to edit soon!
@@TristaBytes I still find The Pacman machine awkward though. I've got hands like shovels. Looks stupid when you're only 4ft 2. :)
For me, these machines are display only really.
Still pretty funky though.
I have quite small hands. Was the Pacman one you got a 1/4 scale or a 1/6 scale?
@@TristaBytesThe 1/4.
It's not unbearable but imo they are very much more novelty than anything.
Still great to have though.
My first favourite Arcade game followed by Street Fighter 1 (yes 1, not 2), seems cute enough as a gimmik to sit on a shelf, did you have to ask / request for a free machine from NewWave?!,...as I can't see how they could afford just sending freebies of this kind half way round the world, it would surly cause them big money losses.
They sent me one for free! what a gift :-D
What a goth 👍
Guilty as charged 😂
Tempest 2000 was probably my most played Jaguar game. I, too, had dreams about the game, specifically the bonus stages. Weirdly the other game that got played a lot was "White Men Can't Jump"... and I have NO idea why - it's awful! :P
Haha! Tempest is amazing. I was ridiculously happy to get to review it. My video on their Centipede Replicade goes up next week which was also very cool - but nothing has my heart like Tempest 😍
Any other games that caused dreams? I had a particularly trippy session playing Tetris Worlds on PS2, that ended up with the weirdest of dreams that can only be described as drug-fueled. Nothing but falling blocks and the weird whispering of "Go for a square"... "Tetris"... "Level up!", etc. XD
They fitted a entire arcade cabinet into a small machine???
Worth skipping a stream to watch!!
It's running the original Atari Rom. It's very cute 😊
I also did a video on the Numskull Pacman 1/4 machine a while back too 😊
I got mine today, New Wave Toys kindly sent it me for free to the U.K all the way from California after I promised them I would review it on my channel,...which of course I'll do, that kind gesture of them saved me around £140 if you include the international shipping costs, and just to think,...I was almost going to click the "buy now" button which would've cost me all that money! Phew! Thank you New Wave Toys!!!
boooosted buddy .. i've actually never played Tempest .. think i will have to whip it out ....... on the mame emulation !!
Thank you! It's such a classic game! Let us know what you think!
@@TristaBytes Well when i do i will give you the long answer .. cause i never have short answers lol
You? Talk too much? Never!!!! Haha. Awesome dude. Do a video on it!!!!
Wow I wanted one of these more than life itself but the second I seen the utter shit wheel instead of original motion it ruins the entire experience. Saddened ..
Yeah as someone who mostly played Tempest 2000 on Jaguar its less annoying for me but I can see why it really put old arcade players off. Still confused as the Centepide controller handles brilliantly...
Pure bullshit. Now if it had a real vector display....well...that would be cool as fuck...
Making a CRT that tiny would be nigh on impossible lol. But would be amazing!
