I think you can be forgiven, since the game is older than you.

Heh, I am only 1 year older than Tempest, but never got to play an original until 2 years ago...

Edit: I have to say also for those whose never played it that nothing compares to an original vector screen.
SirPoonga:
then there's a bunch of the paddle games where a spinner will work well, like lunar lander, clowns, etc..
vputz:
Aah, Tempest... and yes, there is no comparison with the original vector screen, but I still think it's fun even on a bad RCA composite connection to a circa 1992 cheap TV, with fuzzy lines and poor black balance (though it's impossible to see the wee dots at the end of the tunnel well enough to use them for planning).  

It's just that good a game.  Simple, elegant, tricky, and requires a lot of attention.
