I seriously doubt it.. Atari wouldnt take the time to convert a dud game
they know doesnt sell well 3 years after Tempest was made. It would cost
them as much to make them as it did for the dedicated. and the kits Did
come with a sticker set with about 10 of the little serial # stickers for
each component inside the cabinet and a new sticker for the back of the
cabinet. I've had a couple MHs in tempest cabs from one op and the
stickers were thrown in the bottom of the cab. Does it have sideart? I
might beleive that they made one or two for display purposes, but it
probably would have stayed in CA.
