+atari2600land Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just placed an order for Tempo for the 32x. I heard it's a platform game, and I'm looking for one other than Knuckles Chaotix for the 32x. I want to know, how good is it? Is it any good?

Chuck D. Head Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I really like it. Good music and sound effects, interesting and varied visuals, good controls. It is straightforward platforming done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Tempo and Knuckles are definitely the two to go for. The colors and art design alone are worth checking out, but Tempo has pretty solid gameplay as well. Pitfall, Blackthorne, and Spiderman are more acquired tastes.

Austin Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I like it a lot. It does play pretty slow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I already have Knuckles Chaotix, but I was looking for a new-to-me game for the 32x. I heard Spider-man is really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's expensive and also not very good. Lately Spiderman, Pitfall, and Blackthorne all tend to cost a fortune. Tempo and Knuckles Chaotix are the best platformers for the system and the least expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynxVGL Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't understand the spiral on Pitfall prices. I've been debating picking it up, but might go for a Sega CD version instead of the 32X version. I "Would" like it for 32X though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better on the Sega CD, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper to boot. The color pallette is unfortunately about the same as the Genesis version, but it does have a new CD soundtrack (which is excellent!) and it runs at a much higher framerate than the 32X one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I just got the game today. It's one of those games where I can't beat the first level because they made it too hard. I liken it to Mega Man-hardness. Apparently nobody did any playtesting to see if the first level was beatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhomaios Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If you like Tempo, there were sequels on the Game Gear and Saturn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Dude.. you think every game is too hard. How exactly is this one giving you a problem? Tempo is one of the easier platformers out there (no thanks to its slow pacing). Let us know and maybe we can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
