I've been out of Tempest side art since 2003. Long time. There's been a recent upswing in requests for a reprint. Just gauging interest at this point. I couldn't get at it til summer if I decided to do it. Some may want to go out and run it themselves because that's too long to wait :)

This is just for the side art. I have asked Scott for the films to the cpo and marquee since I don't think the previous repros were that good. Although Philippes cpo was close.
 
Well of course, I want the version that's already on my cabinet. :p

Mine has the one where the stripe in the middle does not go all the way to the back edge.
 
Rich has a Tempest CPO as coming soon on TOG tho. So Maybe Hes already gonna do it and sell on His site?
 
I'd pick up another set of everything, maybe 2. I managed to find a NOS cpo a while back that looks great on my machine, but if something ever happens to it I want to have a nice backup ready. And my original marquee has a few cracks in it, but even at that state it looks miles better than the existing reproductions that are available elsewhere.

Plus, you never know when one might happen across another Tempest cabinet that needs restoration... ;)
 
I'm game for 4 sets of Tempest side art. Been in need for a while. Just waiting to send the money somewhere. I've been asking TOG about it forever.
 
Doesn't Arcadeshop still have this? I know what you printed would look much better, but they have it priced at $99. Might be a tough market, unless he is sold out, which you would never know since his website was designed in 1995.....
 
Yea, I am in for at least one set. Doesn't matter the version.

Getting a good repro of the marquee would be nice too. I have heard bad things about AS ones that are out there now.
 
I've got a NOS Atari Tempest Marquee Overlay that I could supply for scans if the original films aren't available. The repros that have been out there to date have muddy graphics and it's easy to spot by looking at the brain area of the main creature in the upper left hand corner.

On the repros it's just a dark smudge with none of the original dithering and detail.

I'm also interested in a set of sideart since I ended up with two of the same sides from the old run.

Me too. I also have a NOS CPO I've been debating on using or selling.

Oh, and what version is this?

That's the older version, which is the version I have and would be interested in redoing. In later versions, the black stripe runs all the way to the "point" of the cabinet.

I'd also be down for a new marquee overlay. Mine's cracked.

Same here, that's the version I have.
 
I just ordered sideart from Arcadeshop along with a Marquee. I have no idea how much he has left. CPO is a big deal right now as no one has stock yet. I would gauge what Steve still has before doing a run. He has had stock for years.
