Actually, I reported an issue with collecting powerups, not the game over screen.
Bitd, as a powerup climbed up the web, when it got very close to the top, I could ‘sweep’ over that bit of the web and collect it.
In this emulated version, I miss it more often than not.
Mike Mira, President of Digital Eclipse (who follows me on Twitter! ) accepted there was a frame rate/screen cycle/refresh issue (which also affects the game over screen) which has now been fixed but has to go through testing (with other fixes for other games) before the patch is released.

- Tempest 2000 now supports analog controller input. This feature was hidden in the original game and intended to support an official rotary controller that was never released. This feature has now been surfaced and improved to function with modern controllers. Take it for a spin!
- Tempest 2000 now offers an “Enhanced & Overclock” mode that boosts the video to 60 FPS for a smoother experience on modern hardware.
- Cybermorph players can now use Access Codes at the level select screen.
- Club Drive players can now visit the secret level, Planet Todd.

Yak tweeted something that if you use an analog controller then you can't go up and down on one of the bonus stages.
Enjoying the update to T2K! Oddly my Series controller has lag over my older Xbox One controller. Strange as I thought the Series controllers were an improvement over the old ones in terms of latency..... Although also do prefer the D-Pad on the older controller too.

Did anyone pick this up on the Switch? If so how is Tempest 2000 on it? Thinking the Switch would be a nice place to play this and the collection in general.

Had good reviews across the board but I dont have it although I see its down to 25 quid at the mo from 35....
I am still holding out on a LL / Tempest compendium but not too hopeful sadly....
Works really well. Not sure about using the fiddly joycon sticks though - might have to tinker with the sensitivity settings on some games!
Nice touch is that you can use the touch screen for paddle games (although strangely only Neo Breakout at the moment still trying to figure out if its a config thing on the others!).
Tempest 2K plays a treat on it and has even been patched to run at 60fps. So all good. This really is a super little collection and a standard by which other retro collections should be judged!

Keep forgetting everything seemingly needs a periodic firmware update these days...
