	Tempest (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The game is a tube shooter, a type of shoot 'em up where the environment is fixed, but is shown from a pseudo three-dimensional perspective.
		In each of the first sixteen stages of the game, the player controls the back-and-forth motion of a yellow claw-shaped spaceship at the near end of a geometrically simplified wireframe tunnel or field.
		The continue - Tempest was the first to allow players to resume playing on a higher initial level once they had lost all their lives, instead of having to start from the beginning again, a feature that has become standard in later arcade games.

	Tempest 2000 for PC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		There are three versions of the game included: Tempest Plus, which is most similar to the original Tempest but adds the assistance of artificially intelligent "droids;" Tempest 2000, which in addition to the droids adds numerous extra enemies and game play options; and Tempest Duel, which allows you to play against a human opponent.
		This is one case where the claim that it is a "3D arcade action" game really rings true, and one has to move adeptly from corridor to corridor to kill the aggressors before they close in.
		The game is best played with a joystick or game pad, as the keyboard is a bit slow and clumsy for a game like this; the mouse is not supported during gameplay because of the diverse nature of the movement required.

	Tempest
		After finishing a game of Tempest, the player had a short period of time in which to start a new game.
		Arcade game manufacturers soon caught on, designing games that were harder and harder to play, eventually leading to such unplayable monstrosities as Gradius III.
		Tempest exists in 3 revisions - rev 1 contained the infamous 'cheat' bug, rev 2 removed it and rev 3 fixed a 'screen-collapsing' bug in 2 player mode.

	Tempest X3 review for the PS

	The Killer List of Videogames> - Tempest
		The final levels of the game are the green, which begin at level 81, and repeat thereafter with no increase in difficulty.
		This game was chosen as the first arcade game to have its source code openly documented by enthusiasts of the game.
		Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.

		Tempest is an exciting game and did very well in arcades despite the problematic XY monitor and they can be found very easily around the USA.
		This game did have one important feature that was not included in the original cabinet, that would be the rats nest that was in the light fixture!!
		When playing Tempest, at the end of any level you have a certain amount of "Time" to insert another coin to continue your game on/about where you left off, but that "Time" runs out after a few seconds of not continuing.

	Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Tempest
		Tempest is a bizarre little game to crack.
		Since you spend your time rolling around a vaguely tubular structure, the game is controlled with a knob only, and surprisingly, the speed with which you move the control is reflected in your onscreen speed.
		Tempest's home-game heyday didn't come until long after the age of such machines as the Atari 2600, although a prototype of an Atari 2600 version of the game was revealed at Classic Gaming Expo 2000.

		Tempest 2000 is a 21st-century version of the original which introduces an all-new Particle Laser, new enemies (including Demon Heads, Mirrors and Mutant Flippers) as well as bonus warp worlds.
		Tempest 2000 can be set up to accept game control input from either the keyboard or mouse.

	myatari.net : Tempest 2000
		"Tempest Plus" works best as a training mode for beginners or a cooperative two player game, while "Tempest Duel" is a passable competitive game.
		The jewel of the cartridge, however, is "Tempest 2000": As a good sequel should, the expanded enemies and features add new dimensions of strategy without losing the spirit of the original game.
		There's no way to directly adjust the game difficulty, though the various modes offer something to players of all skills, and the game grows harder at a gradual pace.

	Tempest 1000 - Online Atari Game Clone
		Tempest 1000 is an online clone of a classic Atari game, originally popular in arcade coin-operated games machines.
		The aim of the game is to stop alien spacecraft from reaching the outer edges of a web-shaped cone (a type of wormhole maybe?).
		There are multiple levels to this game, and you will earn bonus points at the end of each level depending on how many jumps you have unused, and whether you have used your megablast capability.

	Tempest: Detailed theory of operation
		This is despite the fact that these games are 20 years old now (which makes them officially "antiques" and it is obvious that they were not designed for this sort of longevity.
		Tempest Forum and I or someone else will be happy to help you further.
		If the game starts acting better with components removed, then look at the chip select lines for those parts for possible shorts (this technique won't work for the first pair of VSM RAM chips, but it will for the other ones, since the test patterns on the whole are less than 1K of vector operations).

		If you were born before 1972, or can't get enough of "classic" games like the original arcade Tempest, this game might be enough to induce you to buy a Nuon-capable machine along with a compatible joystick before they become impossible to find.
		As it is, Tempest 3000 is a mess of blurry, mutating visuals with enemies that are often very difficult to see.
		The Jag version of Tempest 2000 was less ambitious and as a result, it is the better Tempest game.

		Tempest was a brilliant and unique non-scrolling shooter in the arcades.
		The author, Jeff Minter, admits that it was pretty badly done, and he hadn't seen Tempest enough recently to make a good one.
		There's Tempest Plus, which is like traditional, but it has enhanced GFX, and can be played with a buddy by your side, or a robotic AI droid.

		Tempest 2000 gives the user the ability to configure the video output to optimize performance.
		Although Logicware has included 3 well-crafted variations of the original Tempest on the disc, it would have been nice if they had included a version with more development in the area of weapons and the game web--perhaps something along the lines of "Tempest Infinity," for example.
		Tempest 2000 installed and ran without any crashes or conflicts of any kind.

	Planet Irata: Jeff Minter's Tempest X3 Review
		The game is basically Tempest 2000 with extra PlayStation-oriented graphics effects, plus a few extra enemies (that I've seen so far, I'm at level 47) and some subtractions, which I will get to later.
		I sincerely hope that they haven't made the same mistake in the other versions of the game for the Saturn and Windows, because those are being sold as straight T2K, and the fact that the Particle Laser doesn't nail Spikes properly alters the balance of the gameplay considerably.
		Altering the game by "wussifying" elements and then, in the case of the AI droid, getting an extra powerup in there by just restoring things to how they should have been in the first place, strikes me as a bit of a cop-out.

	Curmudgeon Gamer - Curmudgeoning All Games Equally
		In Tempest 2000, you could depend on the droid to help out when things got too intense, but in Tempest X, it's effectively just a second gun firing in the same place you are.
		Some webs in Tempest X are drastically different from their counterparts in Tempest 2000, while others like the famous Yak web, look identical.
		While Tempest X is an acceptable update to the original Tempest, it is not a replacement for Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar.

		The Atari Analogue Vector Generator (or AVG) is the circuitry used to draw lines on the special XY monitors of some games from the late seventies and early eighties.
		These include Asteroids, Battlezone, Tempest, Gravitar and Star Wars, all of which used a slightly different AVG as the games evolved.
		This is a simpler conversion than the aforementioned Tempest hackery, but you should still read everything first and be sure you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
