Tempest 2000 on the Jaguar. This game is highly addictive and probably my favorite game on jaguar.

I'm playing the Atari Anniversary port on GBA. I'm fairly certain I don't even "get it," because I pretty much get a GAME OVER in about 20 seconds.

I plan to play the Jaguar and the PS1 ports and do some comparison.

Anyone want to sell me a rotary controller?

Still on xbla? if so I'll give it a shot tonight.

Jaguar port of course! also time to hit that Tempest soundtrack to the max!

I'm going to do this one on MAME. See how well my trackball substitutes for a spinner.

Oh man I haven't played Tempest since I had one of the pc ports on my families old 486. I remember our big Kensington pro trackball worked pretty well for it. Giving that thing a good spin was almost as satisfying as a real spinner, I have a feeling playing it with mouse or gamepad won't be nearly as fun .

Another tease to get a ball mouse spinner mod going.
And I'm still waiting for Atari Ages to release the 5200 Tempest.

What percentage of your posts link to your other posts? It's starting to seem spam-like...

it's nothing personal, but I've started expecting it and just skimming your posts of late
