	Armed with a pocketful of quarters and the list of TEMPEST
	game bugs, I strode into an arrcade this weekend expecting
	to amaze the youngsters by winning 40 free games, which I would 		graciously leave for them to play...

	Contrary to previous reports, it is not true that "anyone can reach
	100,000".

	I was unable to score the 188,000 points necessary to use the bug.
	(So I still don't know if this particular machine has the new
	roms with the bug fix).

	Does anyone out there have any advice on strategy for TEMPEST?
	Are there "patterns" or tactics that help, or is it merely 
	a game of pure reflex and eye/hand coordination?
