Tempest Replica JAMMA Commercial Arcade Machine

Description

First released in 1981, Tempest stands out as one of the most iconic vector shooters of all time. Players take control of a fast-moving claw ship, navigating the outer edges of a three-dimensional geometric tunnel while fending off waves of enemies advancing from deep within. Using a precision spinner to rotate around the tube and a fire button to eliminate incoming threats, every level delivers fast-paced, skill-driven arcade action.

The upright cabinet makes a striking visual impact with sharp, neon-green side artwork showcasing wireframe tunnels and the player ship in motion. A smooth-turning spinner provides precise control, paired with a bold red fire button mounted on the angled control panel. Above the screen, a backlit TEMPEST marquee commands attention, while a mono speaker brings the game’s distinctive sound effects to life.

Each machine in our replica range features the original arcade PCB, carefully restored by expert technicians to preserve the authentic gameplay experience. Whether it’s for an arcade, bar, entertainment venue, or a dedicated home setup for serious fans, these cabinets bring a true piece of gaming history back into action.

While staying faithful to the original design, our cabinets benefit from modern enhancements such as LCD screens to eliminate burn-in and updated coin mechanisms for reliable day-to-day use. Coin settings can be customised for any denomination, and bespoke tokens can be created if required. Built for durability and designed to attract attention, these machines are made to entertain players and keep crowds coming back for more.
