Tempest Multigame Update/info

Hey everyone--

Just an update and couple notes on the Tempest Multigame.

Another decent-sized batch is shipping today, so I'm over half-way done with
the pre-orders now and have most of the remainder already built (just ran
out of shipping boxes and manuals... ooops.). Should have them all shipped
in a week or two.

There's a manual Addendum shipping with the kits now, that lists the "known
good" DIP switch settings. (It seems that Vortex and Aliens are particular
about some *combination* of settings, the "known good" ones ) The settings
are the same as the ones I posted here.

The other item in the Addendum address some confusing instructions in the
manual. To clear the high-scores in V-Breakout, highlight the V-Breakout
item from the Multigame Menu with the spinner (so it's flashing). Hold down
the Player 2 Start button and press and hold the Fire button. V-Breakout
will start and the high-score will be cleared. (If you don't do this the
high-score will most likely appear as "EEEE" or "EE00" or "00EE" or
something.)
