BrutallyHonestGamer Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 All the copies purchased thus far are boxed copies. I will update the store if and when I sell out of boxed copies. The price will go down, and the description and pictures will reflect the fact that a box is no longer included. ..Al ooooohhhhh swweeeet...can't wait to get it, really excited now.

Hydro Thunder Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Getting more and more stoked for this, glad I hopped in and ordered! And ready to fire up my Track-ball, which hasn't gotten as much use on my 5200 as I expected. I spend too much time playing Dreadnaught Factor, Moon Patrol, Pac-Man and Mario Bros to use it Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/208673-5200-tempest-now-available/page/3/#findComment-2698886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WERY Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) It looks good. I've placed an order for that game.

captcapcom Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If it's OK, I would like to give this game a proper review on Gaming-Age.com, if my editor agrees. (We usually don't review classics, unless they appear on Xbox Live or PSN) ... But I think it would be interesting to get to word out to a larger audience that there are still new games coming out for classics systems.

Zonie Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nice! It sounds a lot like Star Raiders, which I really like. If I didn't already have this for my Jag, I'd get it.

+FujiSkunk Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Now you just need to create some 5200 Battlezone and 2600 Tempest boxes, and you can just about recreate the video game store scene from Cloak and Dagger!

CRTGAMER Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) (Stacks of Tempest Treasures Picture) OOOOH Yeah! I'm telling you its destiny, I have the exact same drinking glasses! My Trakball is screaming to try this game! Nice touch, the App code at the bottom! A tease, are you taking game requests? Though not an Atari game, it did make an exclusive to game console, a 2600 appearance. Reactor - This Arcade game would play beautiful with the 5200 trakball!

[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 All I can say is, WOW!!!! I just bought Halo, and saw the ad for this game in the store. I'm really hoping that boxes will last until I can afford this one(maybe a month on the outside). This game will be added to my collection, that's for damned sure! Oh, since everyone is raving about playing this with the trackball...... does anyone know where I can get my hands on one?

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Animal house. Classic. I'm so tempted to drop down and buy Tempest, but I ain't got a 5200 and I'm not in the market for one, so if I buy Tempest, it'll be only as a display piece . And I really don't collect games unless i plan on playing them, but i really love Tempest. Oh, such a dilemma... Oh well, time to pull back out the Atari Arcade Collection 6-in-1 on SNES...
