Blimey! Begad! Blimey! One o' t' kits bein' developed was t' NCR Tempest 2, me hearties, shiver me timbers, me hearties, based on t' earlier Tempest kit produced by NCR in t' 1994-95 timeframe. Aye aye! Blimey! T' Tempest 2 was targeted t' be a low-cost introductory level kit, matey, me hearties, perhaps t' be placed in a starter set. Ahoy! Blimey!
