Greetings!

The old tempest games are relatively available on ebay, etc. For me, I am very space constrained, so even a cabaret cabinet would be too much real estate for me to deal with. I have seen the spinners come up occasionally, and I have been thinking of trying to retrofit one into a desktop model (similar in design to the HotRod Joystick). I was even thinking of using something like the Cappuccino PCs, embedding it in the same box as the controls. That is a project for when I have more time.

The trackballs are also available. I have seen a number of them (marble madness varieties) around as well.

If I were to get serious, I would probably look into getting an old tempest cabaret or cocktail model and cleaning it up. I have all of the boards (I purchased a few board sets, and even have some extra ROMs to run Tempest Tubes if I feel like it), but I just don't have the time and space to invest right now. Eventually...
