- Yay Tempest! At home! But tiny! It's a 12-inch/30cm tall 1/6 scale replica of the 1981 Atari arcade cabinet, designed and sold by New Wave Toys. And it even comes with a little coin door and tiny quarters!

To be accurate it also needs one coin light to be burnt out, and the other to be flickering. Also one of the coin return buttons needs to be permanently halfway in.
Actually, to be truly authentic, many of the Tempest games had problem with the CRT failing, and the game will be appear to be experiencing an never ending earth quake.
@@nrnoble Never play one of 'em in California *during* an earthquake. You'll think you're getting a full immersive experience. :P
Neal Noble these days pepole replace the monitors with a trivector monitor
True dat!
@@seannyg8865 What is a trivector monitor
You have to put the quarters on the ledge to show everyone you got next.
Love this thread.
There also needs to be a cigarette burn on the edge LOL
I checked, and... yeah, 1/6 scale is Barbie and Ken scale! They can play Tempest now!
I'm curious if that was in purpose
@@sacripudding4586 I wouldn't be surprised; it's a pretty standard scale for dolls.
Love that uranium bottle lamp!
Tempest was my favorite arcade game when it released. Something about vector tube games in general like this and Battlezone.
Vector games had 3D graphics long before any arcade, home console or home computer would have them.
LGR (legitimate concern): *I- I need a Smaller Quarter*
Bryce McKenzie Baka senpai daddy kitty n-needs a s-smaller quarter uwu
Get this man an eighth, or better yet a sixteenth.
@@robertoXCX Well, we're at 1/6 scale, so even the sixteenth is too large :D
... Eech.
I spend most of my time acting out being a catgirl, and that's super-cringey even to me... XD
Well done, Micheal...
Well done. ;p
Your video quality, your perfect lighting, your supreme sound, your awesome voice, your high-quality content. There are reasons I subscribed to your channel. And the main reason is how I sympathize with your nerdiness. We love you Clint.
Thank you!
@@LGR No, thank you.
This man speaks truth!
Stole the words right out of my mouth!
The Jazz music in the background at the beginning, and the presumably classic computer just off camera to the right, ^_^. Wood grain desk, ^_^.
Legend has it that if you say "Real wood" into a mirror three times Clint will appear......... with coffee.......
Diiidd somebody say... wood?
(o )(o )
''uu''
I tried. Didn't work.

*g r e e t I n g s*
Saying "Greeeetings!"
You really need to stub out some miniature cigarette butts on the bezel and douse the machine in beer and filth for the full authentic effect :-) Maybe put a teeny footprint and dent in the coin door too...
Mark Wright Depends if arcades in your area were in adult bars or at fast food joints. The latter would cause slightly different dirt.
Also install a tiny knife that can randomly eject from the cab if you start winning too much.
Wait what? What the hell kind of arcades have you lot been hanging out in? XD
Especially the knife thing...
How about a firmware update that introduces a slight CRT wobble.
They're working on making distressed machines. I asked when I got my Centipede game.
Growing up this was my sister's fav game. She named her cat Tempest and he was the coolest cat in the world. :D Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for the vid!!
1/6 scale is the best. You really can get just about anything in that scale. This video makes me want to build an entire miniature arcade.
Tempest was my favorite game growing up. I'm getting one of these machines. I wish they would do Phoenix which is an obscure shooter but was always one of my favs in the arcades. Game on!
Kinda want to buy one of these. Partially to play myself, partially to take pictures of it with my dolls.

@@froedlmetallmann4643 LMAO My action figures are in display cases, dude. My BJDs are what I use to practice photography.
Imagine Time crisis with minature light guns 😀
Press the pedal with your pinky!
pew pew
I want this now.
I'm waiting for the Tetris replicade.
Tempest was in the basement of the student union when I was in college. I spent a lot of money on this game! I sucked at it, but it was fun. Played some pc ports of it, but it really needs the spinning knob to do it right. This version however, I may have to pick up.
Your giggles of nostalgic happiness made my night.
It's certainly a very charming little machine! Can't wait to see more from this company.
would ADORE a galaga one of these!
I'm down for that and centipede
Missile command......
For a second I misread "Garegga" :v
@@RetroGamerBB Centipede plays just like the real thing. You have to get used to a tiny trackball vs the usual size one, but it's a dream. I am not even a fan of Centipede, and I like the small version A LOT.
A different company just released a Galaga one. Its 1/4 scale, bigger than the Replicades. Google it up, I cant remember the company's name.
Tempest was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day, but I never found a home version I liked because of the spinner control could never quite be duplicated.
Yes, without a spinner the game is 95% impossible to play. IMO, Tempest is, by far, the best designed arcade game of all time.
It looks amazing. The detail is fantastic. Even the packaging is great. Congratulations to all involved in it's creation. I love the look of it.
Thank you for this video.
nine year old me back in 1994 wants this for her barbies
Same lol Except I was nine back in 2008 LOL
@@baileymadison9019 and I was 8 in 2008 :')
@DreadPirateDrake haha, they do :P
I was also 9 nine in 1994. Howtweels and Matchbox for me lol.
I graduated in 1985 and I can tell you used to play this game almost daily all thru high school. Always love this channel
You have to put the quarters on the edge of the marque so the player knows your next to play. like in the old days.
I have both their Centipede and Tempest cabs, with the SF2 cab on pre-order. Been really happy with them. They're also the perfect size for using as props for 1/6 scale Hot Toys figures. Ever seen Darth Vader playing Centipede? I have :)
Exactly what I was thinking, this would look great with some Hot Toys figures, older gi joes, or even barbies ? Why not ?
I haven't played Tempest in so long...
I'd love having one of these beauties in my collection.
I can almost smell the arcade looking at that machine. Fond memories of trying to beat my friend at Tempest back in the 80s. Thanks
Cool mini-arcade. I started buying pinball machines many years ago. I played the hell out of each game for about a month after purchase. Then my playtime tapered off to a trickle. When I got up to six machines my game "room" was full and I hardly played with them except when friends dropped by. I enjoyed working on them more than playing them actually. I eventually sold them for a very nice profit and now I collect PC games on Steam and GOG. They take up a lot less room but aren't nearly as much fun to work on. Congrats on 1M dude. That's huge!
brilliant! your joy at the coins made my day x
I kinda love how there has been this trend for smaller arcade machines as of recent. From bar top arcades down to keychain arcades. Yet nobody buys normal sized arcade machines haha. Understandable though, because they are very huge and those smaller ones make for nice nondisruptive decoration.
Yeah, the originals and\or full size cabinets running MAME are for hardcore collectors who have the space.
This episode pretty much sums up why I love watching LGR videos! So much passion! :)
Amazing how time flies... I remember seeing this in the local YMCA when I was a kid, and I now realize that it was likely a brand new machine back then (1981). Dang I feel old.
Tempest was my absolute favorite coin-op video game of all time!
Mine as well. I may have put more quarters into Tempest machines than in all other arcade games combined.
I remember Gamester81 or somebody talked about this machine a while back, they said the smaller spinner was just to give it the authentic look when it’s just sitting on your shelf. The bigger one is for when you actually play it.
I love it but i just know id hurt my weak eyes focusing on such a tiny screen for that long but that aesthetic and quality, so good, thankyou lgr another good video as always!
One of my all time favorites. Tempest is one of the best ever.
this is really cool. great vid Clint!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Yay finally got a million subs. Congrats my dude. Followed you for so long this makes me happy to see.
The detail was truly amazing! Wow!
Loving the music in this! Another great review ❤
Tempest was my jam!! I was king of the arcade with that machine!! Would love to have a full size version of this game.
This is awesome! Thanks for covering it
Am very impressed with the details on this. Very cool.
Everyone: Hm, that’s pretty cool!
LGR: t i n y q u a r t e r s
The only retro artefact missing about this is that it uses an LCD instead of a CRT just like the life sized ones. It really gets me retro vibes playing old video games like this on a CRT.
I love the aesthetics of the new setup. It's super relaxing. Great video as always.
I definitely need to get myself one of these,absolutely loved Tempest back in the day. Ps I own a few full sized arcade machines and they're still as addictive as ever.
You had me at tiny quarters
The coin slot door even sounded right when you were opening and closing it. That's pretty amazing attention to detail.
It's so cute. Omg imagine going back to 1981 and show one of these to atari haha
If you had this in '81, the other kids in the neighborhood would think you were Richie Rich.
I think they would be more impressed with our magical pocket computer/video camera machines.
@@fitnesswithsteve Haha. Or a Wii with Wii sports.
I'm not gonna lie. That satisfied laugh Clint got out seeing the little coins... got me too, in the same way. Thanks for sharing!!
Honestly the thing that surprised me most is the sound. That little box sounds very very nice even through cam audio. Amazing find!
Wow! I have the real one in storage and it's from 1982. This is a very good representation of it!
That was a great video. I remember when the Tempest machines were in the local arcade. I wasn't good at it but it was fun to watch other people play it successfully. The one you bought there is just awesome and it's great to see a min-Tempest be made and in that size. It would be great to make a mini arcade in a house. When the games are not in use, set them in a mini-arcade room that would resemble the real thing. Just need some properly scaled mannequins to look like they're playing, ok, maybe that's too much.
12:16 That little giggle of joy. Brilliant.

Lovely little arcade, LGR. nice pickup
hack that badboy and add arkanoid to it!
I spent the entire four years of high school at the arcade and played Tempest way to much. This mini one is very cool.
Omg, the tiny coins really made my day... gotta love the details...
I always have to watch your videos a couple times cause your voices always relaxes me to sleep...
Seriously though this product is so cool!!
That mini cab of Tempest is amazing. It looks just like the real one. I seen and played a real one before and I loved it. I loved feel of it and the look of the vector graphics too.
While the original arcade Tempest cabinet did have a spinner that moved more freely, it did also still have a noticeable click per space moved.
My uncle had an original arcade Tempest machine that he somehow got for almost nothing back in the mid-80's that he kept in his bedroom.
The rough sound of that spinner going around has always stuck in my head.
This and Arcade 1up machines make me super glad that we're bringing back arcade machine aesthetics.
God I want one of those arcade 1up cocktail machines, the Star wars arcade game with the X-wing controller doesn't look bad either.
I miss the old arcades. The sound quality while playing arcades like Golden Axe just really put me in the game.
Honestly this channel makes me so happy ❤️
LOVE IT lol... and you did a great E3 video, I thought I was there with you buddy lol... loved all the food reviews too...
Digital Caveman
I agree, I’ve heard about E3 my whole life and seen the booth and presentation videos, however I never knew what the actual experience would be like until seeing Clint’s video.
That Gerber knife you have is the best. I had one and recently lost it in a move... Best utility knife ever.
This is awesome! Bought me a Tempest! Thanks LGR!
I bought one and it is awesome for any Tempest fan from back in the day. Great to have one of my favorite arcade games at home without having to buy a full sized arcade machine and the headaches that go with maintaining it. As you said in the review, the only problem is the spinner knob is not a free flowing spinner like the one in the arcade. It has click points so you have to work a little more to get from one side of the grid to the other which can be a pain at the faster higher levels. Overall, well worth the price ~$120.
LGR on a Monday!!! My wish came true
HOLY FUCK THAT TINY STREET FIGHTER 2 CABINET IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Tempest Is my favorite of the Atari classics
This looks gorgeous
Nice bro. Love your videos as always.
These little guys should totally require quarters to play. Having to pay limits the amount of time you can use it so that it feels like a treat.
That ickle screen is lovely! :)
I’m waitin for island living review cuh
I saw this thing in your E3 video, you got this one out quick!
I remember playing Tempest on The PS Vita actually first, then discovering more about it and finally got to play the real cabinet at the start of this year!
Such a cool game
I wish they make more of these especialy from late 80's and 90's , i would buy a bunch and have them all on to replicate the atmosphere of the arcades i miss so much.
That "Change" machine 0:32 reminds me so much of the cigarette machines from pre-smoking-ban Britain.
Betcha they are repurposed cig machines...
Hey, look at those happy little arcade machine~ its awesome to just play it
Island living review?
Looks like its time for a mini LGR video yeah!
"It feels a tiny bit different." XD
Oh my goodness, TINY QUARTERS EEEEE
I love mini things too! I'd love to do mini cooking on CZcams but I have a hand wobble and just knock things over :P I do have a mini greenhouse with a working thermometer and fan system though! I love love LOVE tiny versions of bigger things, the fact that you can get tiny working arcade games like this makes me happy, aaaa
Loved that tiny change machine...
looks great,
I might actually get the Asteroids one once it comes out, since that's on eof my all time favorite games.
Love these! Im amazed from how spotless you keep everything. I had a donkey kong one but the batteries leaked and destroyed everything
You mean you had a donkey Kong one from the 1980s made by coleco. These are a little different these are made recently by replicate in their a lot better than the ones that came out in the 80s. Just a little different
To be honest as a critic, I like the details of this cabinet.
I would like to see this game ported to vectrex.
I bet you use to play the real game back in the 80s at mcdowell's! :D
@@ryry998
They used to call me a sexual twister.
Saw this on the LGR E3 show, ordered one immediately. Free shipping to the UK!
The first thing I thought: oh man, those miniature quarters would end up in my cat's digestive system faster than I could say "NO, FUZZY!".
Serious though, that is a fabulous piece of kit you got there!
I was thinking about making a little shrine to my childhood.
This would be perfect. Revell car models, Estes rockets, and Tempest!
Well that tears it... I foresee having my own very tiny arcade in the near future. Just to make me feel like when I was a boy in the 80s waking into an arcade with all the machines in attract mode. You rarely get that many overlapping retro-digital sounds in one place these days. I think my favorite attract mode was Gorf. And the pinball machine, Gorgar. :>
10/10 - Hottest coin door content on youtube
Glad you made that quarter joke first thing XD
the sound is spot on
I'm interested in your bottle lamp style, looks soooo cool.
Clint is the best box opening scene editor of all time
Great mini arcade machine!
Such foam.
Very pack.
Wow.
