Atari's "Cabaret" TEMPEST Vector Arcade Game.... Remastered

Video

Summary

Joe’s Classic Video Games tours an Atari Tempest cabaret cabinet and explains its color vector monitor history.

Joe’s Classic Video Games showcases a Tempest cabaret cabinet, Atari's first color vector arcade game, from 1980-81. The host explains the cabaret format, the vector versus raster monitor technology, and why color vector boards were unreliable and often shelved by operators. The video is a classic-arcade restoration showcase rather than pinball content, so it sits largely outside this knowledge base's pinball focus.
