DocEss Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 This is really snazzy, and I look forward to it, having an unhealthy addiction to Tempest in all it's forms, from the lowly 2600 prototype, to the stellar Tempest 2000. This is truly a game that deserves a home on each Atari system, and I look forward to seeing it in eventual cartridge form for the 7800.

Atari Joe Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 OH WOW it really is being done! This looks AMAZING! good luck with this! Tempest is reason enough alone to spend 100 on an XM. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest is reason enough alone to spend 100 on an XM. :thumbsup: Thanks for the compliment. It has some glitches and the line drawing is a bit slow . However, as soon as I've cleared some other projects off my todo list I'll be looking at it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Doesn't look like it. Groovy Bee and now PacmanPlus are MIA. I would really love to play Tempest on my 7800 since I don't have a 5200 and have no plans on getting one. There's still the 6-in-1 Atari Classics on SNES, Tempest 2000 on the Jag, and Tempest X3 for PS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Doesn't look like it. Groovy Bee and now PacmanPlus are MIA. Yeah - I know it's hard to contain excitement, but sometimes people get really crabby when a homebrew project isn't moving at the speed that they'd like. Can take the fun out of the hobby of making a game and sharing it with others for the love of the art. I'm not singling anyone out. I'm guilty of it too by asking about Adventure II for A8 a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Generally most on AtariAge are nice and helpful, on the surface. Arguments happen from time to time, that can't be helped. Nasty things must happen behind the scenes. Lots of software and hardware designers have gone quiet, and we can only speculate. Were they threatened with infringement? (I'm quite guilty of infringing, but I want to make want I want to play on my Atari.) If others can enjoy it also and have it generate some funds to keep this great website going — great! A lot of the pre-payment hardware vaporware sure hasn't helped. I'm still waiting on 7800 XM and a few Vectrex prepaid hardware and software... So it could be lack of communication, or too much communication. Some will go silent until their stuff is nearly or fully completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradyblix Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 10 years later..... You know, it would be really cool now that the 2600+ is out to get a release of this game, even through atari/plaion. I mean, jeff minter recently made a couple of versions for the PS4 and PS5, so maybe that's possible ? It just seems like the 7800 deserves a tempest of some sort.
