PM him and I am sure he will get back to you quickly...

Very cool!Just for interest, here is also a picture of the original disks that the Tempest code came from.

I can highly recommend the Best paddles with 'super pots' for anyone looking for paddles for your 2600: http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/cx30_paddle.htm
-
The lag on the FB4 is due to the analog to digital conversion. Once you get used to it, the games play ok. Just a different feel from a real 2600.Wow the reviews aren't very good eh? Most are just stating they didn't receive the paddles, but of the ones that did, about half leave a lot to be desired. They mention lag, the fact you get two paddles but only one person can use them? I dunno.

I'm excited! I just recieved a minty, complete in box, Needhams EMP-20 programmer. I downloaded the software a week ago but decided to install it off the original 3 1/4 floppy for fun.
Now all I need is to find my old parallel printer cable.I've made some nice updates to the game which I hope to upload later today.
- The smashed object graphic is correctly animated and multicolored.
- The elevator bouncer uses correct colors.
- Added "help!" graphic to Paulines animation.
- Hammer duration matches arcade and color changes at 50% time left.
- Fixed bug so Pauline is erased when DK grabs here.
- Adjusted bouncer position and collision boundry. Might be a little too forgiving now. I'll look for feedback.
Wow! Can't wait to play this when it is ready!
-
Bob-hope you have some luck with this...eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play BB on my 7800!

You could check and see if Yurkie will do a 5200 AV mod as he does Colecovision and 7800's. Otherwise, contact this seller on ebay:
For controllers, try Best Electronics:

Just stumbled across this thread...really amazing work...very impressive!

Really awesome review!!! Anyone on the fence about ordering Tempest should watch your video. I also put together some great written info here:

Again, a big thanks for everyone that had a hand in making this a reality after 30 years!

Done!Oh, if people want to post reviews of the game in the AtariAge Store, that would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Al-you are correct!I respectfully disagree, "a unique" is correct. Because "unique" starts with a consonant sound, the proper article to use before it is "a", not "an".

Take a look at the manual where it talks about the fire buttons...got mine, review uploading now, i'll post a new thread when it's done. The only manual mistake i found, which honestly who gives a flying damn is "a unique" should be "an unique" again, who the hell cares, and also I did get the game to glitch which I show in the review.
-
Not completely...just a little!Good, so I'm not completely crazy!

I like the joystick better than the trak-ball as well!
-
My copy arrived today...really awesome!!! Loved reading this history of the game! I did notice a mistake with the manual....anyone else catch it?Glad to see many of you received the game in time for the weekend.

Perry-looks awesome and this is perfect timing. Hopefully, Curt is recovering and will get back to the XM's soon!I think I can have the HSC support working in a week. Then I want to let people test for a week or so to make sure there aren't any remaining bugs. I'll need another week to build the carts. I have started the carts. Labels are printed. Shells are stripped and cleaned. I still need to desolder all the boards, which I'm not looking forward to. So it's looking like late March.

A big thanks to Al, Keithen Hayenga, and everyone else to worked to make this a reality. 30 years in the making...looks awesome...can't wait to give this a spin on my 5200!

Congrat's...my main system is a 7800, but I picked up a 5200 a few weeks ago and glad that I did. I also picked up the Atarimax SD mulit-cart which makes it easy to play the games ported over from 8-bit systems. My main motivation was to be able to review 5200 games for my blog, but I also find myself enjoying the 5200 as a game system!Thank you very much for the advice! I just got myself a 5200 on ebay this morning. It's in pristine condition. It's the 1984 2 controller port model. The 2 games that are not compatible with that version are. Pitfall and Mountain King. It has 6 games with it, and I'll buy some more on atari2600.com. The controllers are in excellent shape (knock on wood lol). I will get a wico aftermarket one. Thsnk you very much on all the help and advice! I'm into console collecting. I'd rather have that than the computer. I have a big game room. And I made a spot and a new home for it. I can't wait for the beast to arrive!

The H2 can't be done soon enough...I really need to set up an emulator environment. Bob, can't wait to play this when you make some carts!
