My father and I in the early 90s were lucky enough to come across a Tempest arcade machine that "didn't work" in a yard sale and bought it for 50$. I was going to make something out of the cabinet. I opened it up, and noticed the CRT was disconnected from the big white input on the center. Connected it, plugged it into a surge protector waiting for smoke... and had a working Tempest game in my room for my teenage years. Always a fun game, and when I learned you could change game settings with DIP switches, that curiosity never really left and led me to coding. 30 years later, I'm still coding.
