Tempest 4000 - YES! YES! YES!

A bit of drama about the "Atari VCS" version of Tempest 4000.

Seems melodramatic to me. If the VCS can run the PC Tempest 4000 at full speed then there's no issue. Whether the game is coded directly for the VCS (it won't be) or running on WINE, so long as it runs properly then I don't see the issue.

Is Tempest still getting released next week?

It does not, but they say they "expect" that it will:

Friends and fans: Atari shared footage of the existing PC version of Tempest 4K and fully expects to have it, and games like it, available for the VCS launch next year. We have clearly stated on our Indiegogo campaign page that IP shown “is depicted for illustration purposes only” and cannot comment on any confidential conversations with our business partners.

There has been no version created for VCS (Linux). The PC (Windows) version is heavily dependent on modern DirectX so I doubt it would run well under Wine.

That’s the million dollar question. Fingers crossed. It’s not a great time to release it in the middle of a massive sale on both consoles....

TxK runs on Linux and I'm pretty sure it'd run pretty well under Wine. Can't see Atari going that route though

Ah. Fair enough. There is still no Linux version of T4K, however.

Someone I follow on YT is talking about LL

OK FINALLY WE HAD SOME TALK

Fundamentally, I can assure people that "There will be T4K on VCS" .. that IS GOING TO HAPPEN, it will be there.

Details, does not really matter much, I mean "you'll get what you look for" and that's all that counts

Said that I can also add "glad we are finally there" so worries not, enjoy the VCS, T4K it's going to happen.

I think all that ( again ) came form some "lost in translation" or such things, overall anyway in a way or another we should be there now.

Hopes this will make some people feel more at rest now.

Cheers.

I was a little worried you'd be so tired of T4k porting by now you wouldn't want to consider ANOTHER port. Good luck.

That said, according to some sources I can buy T4K on steam in 5 days, but Atari hasn't said anything again. Sigh.

I just hope you and Yak get paid and bring more Llamasoft to the proper platforms.

The "Atari VCS" can DIAF as far as I'm concerned, it's completely unnecessary.

Just to clarify a detail, if you can say- is this with you providing the port, or at least doing work to optimize the game for the VCS?

"There is going to be a working version of T4K made for the VCS", that's what I am saying, there's plenty of time to get things done properly.

To the one that say "That my English was so broken I should have used Italian" ..

ANATREMA CADA SU DI VOI !

Voi che prendete e forse, e dicerie dall' intersnet e pensate dunque che quella e sia, e insformazione ?
Voi che scrivete cose stwittando come uccellini e non sapete piu', e parlare a piu' di 250 caratteri per frase ?
Credete dunque e forse che io, e non vi, e veda ?


Dallo sdegno mi ribalto ! *FLUMP*
