Tempest is awesome!  It's also a loud game with sounds it made like rockets 
firing before you flew into the tunnel after winning a round.  It was unique 
too almost a flashback to the pong days having a rotary controller but dang the 
game play was good.  Classic vector graphics similar to asteroids but in color 
not black & white!

 

Tempest was the best of their color vector games. Unfortunately, the 
proprietary Atari monitors had an alarming tendency to burn up their HV power 
supplies. Atari charged a fortune for replacements. Fortunately, Wells-Gardner 
made a serviceable monitor that was a drop-in replacement.

 

BTW, the tunnels, tubes, wells—whatever people called them—are "holes". You 
have to read the service manual to find that out.

 

And why they didn't use ball bearings on the rotary controller I have no idea.
