No, it is different all together:




(using this flyer because the colors are better than the "main" one).

I still think it's very interesting that the US flyers feature the Irish colors....

See, there's only one "mushroom" compared to three on the upright.

That cocktail version is the very rare 19inch version (looks like the Tempest cocktail)  :P.

They were made in Ireland, there was a thread on KLOV where people compared the US artwork vs. the Irish artwork (which is a little different, as usual...). Mind you, the people who had an irish built Tempest were all from the US...
I have seen two Tempest cabs in a warehouse in Germany some years ago, they were in bad shape and converted to Arkanoid.

A cocktail eats up much more floor-space than an upright.....esp. because you need to be able to sit on both sides usually...

I think Lascheck meant upright Tempests ?

I'm sure they were built in Ireland too. Speleo has a Tempest and I played it. It ROCKS ! :)

Ahh, sorry, I indeed thought you were talking about Tempests in general. The two I saw were uprights. They were mercifully released from their poor existence as Arkanoids when the warehouse burned to the ground.
