Classic Tempest in 1/6 Scale
RepliCade x Tempest is a fully-playable miniature arcade cabinet developed by New Wave Toys and officially licensed by Atari.
Tempest was released by Atari in 1980 and was an instant arcade classic. Now, we are creating the ultimate collector's piece in highly detailed 1/6 scale!
Our RepliCade x Tempest machine is constructed of wood and metal and features a custom-made Modular Spinner Knob controller with two interchangeable size options: 1/6 scale for show and a larger knob for better control during play modes. Accurately reproduced FIRE and SUPER ZAPPER buttons feature modern gamepad quality.
All RepliCade Amusements run the original ROM you remember playing back in the arcade, and our Tempest machine is no exception!

What size is the RepliCade x Tempest cabinet?
Designed with fine 1/6th scale details to fit in perfectly with your toy/game collection, bookshelves, bar or desk. Please note the cabinet dimensions are subject to change. Our goal is to maximize the gameplay experience while staying as true to the original cabinet's scale as possible.
What are RepliCade Amusements?
At New Wave Toys, we believe that bringing home the arcade experience means more than simply playing the original arcade ROM. The video arcade experience is a blend of many things, and to truly bring that experience into your home requires great attention to detail.
RepliCade Amusements combine a blend of traditional design and materials with modern technology to recreate your favorite arcade classics in 1/6 scale.
These miniaturized arcade machines are fully playable and officially licensed by the original manufacturers. Every detail in these amazing works of arcade art has been painstakingly reproduced, including:
- Wooden cabinet in perfect profile.
- Accurately reproduced control system.
- Backlit LED marquee with authentic art.
- Authentic metal coin door that opens to reveal a storage compartment.
- Vividly reproduced side panel art, bezel, and control panel overlay graphics.
- For our RepliCade X Tempest Collector's Edition, the Spinner and push buttons have been resized to coordinate with the 1/6 scale cabinet while retaining a fully-functional and satisfying gameplay experience.
- And of course, all RepliCade machines run the original arcade game ROMs you expect!
Our goal is to give you the ability to recreate classic video game arcade ambiance in your own home for a fraction of the cost and size of full-sized, vintage arcade cabinets.
With RepliCade Amusements, you can finally build your very own collection of classic arcade machines from the 70's, 80's and 90's, the perfect complement to your toy collection, game room, home or office.

Risks and challenges
The team we’ve assembled for this project have over 20 years of experience in software development and electronics manufacturing.
We are well underway with product development and have completed all tasks through the Engineering Prototype phase. Typical production risks include components taking longer to receive than expected, compliance testing delays, post-Chinese New Year staffing delays, and software bug delays.
All of these are commonly expected issues and we have years of experience working through them. We are very confident we will deliver to you a beautiful end-product you will be excited to receive.
