I don't think we could ever make people from this generation understand how awesome and mind grabbing this game was back then. It was like nothing I had ever seen and I just wanted to watch it, mesmerized.
- mcndjxlefnd 9y agoI was born in 1987 and I totally get it. This has always been my favorite retro game; I first encountered it for PS2 I think. I've only found one multicade machine at a local juice bar that had it. I've never before or since been devoted to maintaining high score on a public machine like that before. Unfortunately, that machine is now gone.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoI remember going to a classic games exhibition in London around the year 2000, I played Tempest for the first time there, it was one of my favourite games I played at the show. Jeff Minter is clearly a fan as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePW33ZmC04c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePW33ZmC04c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS9alQbHHPk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS9alQbHHPk
- bhauer 9y agoYes! Not only Tempest 2000 and Tempest 3000, Minter's Polybius [1] is very similar to Tempest. (It's also just awesome that Minter named his game Polybius.) [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk
