LGR - Tempest Replicade Mini Arcade Machine
Added 2019-06-24 00:55:15 +0000 UTCGot a pretty straightforward LGR here video for Monday! It's Atari's Tempest from 1981, but in sixth-scale playable replica form. Love the details on this thing. That coin door, ahh!
I was pretty excited to set this up once I got home from E3, so I recorded this straight away and edited it all together this afternoon. Nothing too crazy going on, just a neat recreation of an arcade favorite I've been excited to share ever since buying it at the show last week. Hope you enjoy!
Tiny quarters though. Tiny. Quarters.

2019-07-02 03:11:10 +0000 UTCSure are! I could've done a whole video about the ones shown at this year's E3 alone.

2019-06-25 03:55:54 +0000 UTCI do hope to put together another video from all that footage, yeah! Not sure what or when it'll be yet though.

2019-06-25 03:55:27 +0000 UTCI checked out their Asteroids machine at E3, it was awesome! They're even emulating the glow/trails behind your shots, adding to that vector display aesthetic. https://twitter.com/NewWaveToys/status/1138840417028304896

2019-06-25 03:52:15 +0000 UTCIf they keep doing well I'm sure that's possible! Here's hoping.

2019-06-25 03:50:53 +0000 UTCYep, that firmware update helps but it's still not as responsive as it could be. Not that I'd wanna play more than a few minutes on such a small machine regardless!

2019-06-25 03:50:17 +0000 UTCThey count if I upload the version that's on Patreon! But I often update videos before it goes public and in that case they won't count.

2019-06-24 16:03:44 +0000 UTCCute product and video, but it's clear from the gameplay footage that there is noticable input lag with the spinner (not related to the clicking), so not really useful for playing?

2019-06-24 13:29:54 +0000 UTCIt's a lovely bit of kit, even with the spinner, really glad to have backed it for sure (and the same with Centipede). I think the arcade cab I'd go for would be Asteroids… there's something about the purity of that white on black vector display. Hoping the Replicade version does it tiny 1/6th scale justice :D

2019-06-24 09:13:17 +0000 UTCI'm curious about something. Do the unnumbered "likes" you receive on these locked-off videos remain when the video goes public? I often wonder whilst I'm watching your videos you grant us Patrons early access to if they count, because I may not get around to re-watching it when it officially goes out. Sorry to be embarrassingly ilYouTubliterate... :3

2019-06-24 04:57:13 +0000 UTCHaving owned a full-sized pinball machine, I would say if you want a full-sized arcade unit you should go for it! The main thing to remember is that so long as you take good care of them, they retain their value, especially nowadays with the market for these retro games booming. I bought my pinball machine for $1,000 and MIGHT have been able to get that again when I went to sell it, but wanted to get rid of it sooner rather than later, and it went to someone I knew from our league who wanted to shop it up, so I let it go for $750. :B

2019-06-24 02:18:03 +0000 UTCThe E3 video was so awesome I can't help but want more of it. Do you plan on releasing a longer version or just throwing out the 14hrs of footage for us? Hey, I'd watch it.
2019-06-24 02:02:54 +0000 UTCi like you that you mentioned the free spinning of the original controller. i used to love spinning the crap out of it when you were zoning into a new level (after the spikes of course) Thanks for sharing this!
2019-06-24 01:29:49 +0000 UTCVideos like this are why I love this channel.. Either the strange, weird or retro..

2019-06-24 01:19:42 +0000 UTCTiny quarters for a mini arcade cabinet. That's the sort of insanity I can get behind. And yeah, mini arcade units seem to be the hip thing now.
