I've rescued a monitorless Tempest cab (with CP) in okay condition. My plan is to put in a PC monitor, but otherwise restore it and make no other modifications. What games can be played using just the Tempest controls (RH spinner LH index & thumb buttons)? MAME's listinfo gives me the following: 720 Degrees Arkanoid Arkanoid - Revenge of DOH Block Gal Cameltry Cerberus Embargo Free Kick Gigas & Gigas Mark II Kick Atari Mini Golf Major Havoc Omega Race Plump Pop Quester Razzmatazz Riddle of Pythagoras Tac/Scan Tempest Two Tigers Wall Crash Wheel Of Fortune Wolf Pack Zektor plus the racers (including those which have analog pedals) American Speedway Bad Lands Buggy Challenge Car Polo Championship Sprint & Super Sprint Demolition Derby Final Lap 1/2/3 Four Trax Grand Champion Hot Rod Indy Heat Super Off-Road Pole Position Pole Position II Redline Racer Super Speed Race Super Speed Race Junior Stocker My initial scan on just dial found a bunch more, including some which didn't have specific controls. Have I missed anything important? Also, is there any way to map (or fake in HW or SW) the dial to Left/Right? |

Wow, What a dumb idea, why not use a different cabinet? A Tempest in any condition is getting hard to find? Then to turn it into a Mame cabinet??? Why not trade it for someting more suitable? It's like turning a Mercedes into a Hot Dog cart???? |

Dave - It's only post 2 for you so I'll be kind ;) I suggest you read the above again --- Quote ---My plan is to put in a PC monitor, but otherwise restore it and make no other modifications. --- End quote --- before having a go. Now as I'm sure you'll know getting hold of a proper vector monitor is nigh on impossible so putting a pc monitor in there is probably the easiest way to go. Good luck on the restore. |

As for the dumb idea idea.... Hes right to a point... Try and put a monitor that doesn't damage anything so you can always turn it back. You never know when you find a good vector monitor and start thinking converting it back.. I would start off by putting your full computer in it for a few weeks and try each game that will work. There are a ton that work OK... And then another group that will work GREAT. You will have to decide on each which you want. So give it a week with all of them... Then swap the computer with one specific for the cabinet and move all that you liked. Don't forget Blasteroids... |
