Mini Tempest Cabinet

Mini Tempest Cab

Another great game, is Tempest. A classic vector arcade game. I love retro arcade cabs, but have no room for them.

I decided to build a mini arcade.

Using Balsa wood and printed graphics I assembled a tiny Tempest cabinet. I installed a mini tempest game inside and wahoo! one micro but working Tempest game.

Im working on other cabinets now, but the games are VERY hard to get working in such a small space. I thought about cheating with PocketMame, but these are MUCH smaller than any pocket PC device.

There is a video looking at the cabinet in detail before the actual game was fitted. Note the classy paper screen before the real one is installed!
