In the front row of my garcade are the following games in the following order from left to right: Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids, TRON, Battlezone.. From a vector and/or Atari standpoint, the logical place to drop Tempest is where the TRON currently resides. However, putting the game there will hide Tempest's triangular treasure of an abstract cab.

What does everyone recommend? Do current Tempest owners who have the game hidden in their lineup regret it?
 
I know your lineup is not the same as mine, but I'm sure the Tempest designers meant it to be an end of row or stand-alone game. You have to display the beautiful sideart and the unique contour that just screams "play me".

That is totally what I'm getting at TB, I agree with you 100%- My only problem is, my real estate options are a bit limited. Although I might have an idea emerging as I type this post- It's just going to require me to remove what's left of the "garaginess" of my garage (including but not limited to: a small block Chevy on an engine stand, a workbench, and 2 auto parts cabinets up on the wall....)

You need to move the Crystal Castles to the end of that row. ;)

I also like your exit sign- I've been wanting one of them forever.
 
I asked that same question a while back, think I may try and get it to and end sideways facing outward.

By MFG, and Date of Mfg. The Asteroids, and BZ are you're two biggest cabs. I personally like the smaller ones on the ends. Unless one end is a wall. In which case I put the bigger cab there. But pretty much MFG and Date
 
Unfortunately my Tempest is tucked away in the corner. I needed something small over there so I could access the AC/HEAT and door latch and it fit the bill best.
