Just curious, nobody got the Switch version ?

This is hyper annoying as its knocking millions off my score attempts as the green tunnel bonus round is worth 10x the flying through circles one -





I know you can accelerate by holding the up on the joystick (yeah nicely not mentioned anywhere in the game lads ! )

So what am I doing wrong - Do I have the wrong end of the stick literally as I always think its the head of the ship the circle not the bottom that needs to be in the green...any pointers would help me enormously as I ace the first 3 each game and then fail every ....single...time losing millions....

Bottom on the path.

Bottom on the path.

Ill try that Monday PM...

I must say even though I haven't played in years so I'm not sure but I think I remember the thing being easier to track (on Steam). I can tell from the sfx and the path's visual feedback you're going off but I can't really see what's happening.

Once the softlock on a clear is fixed I'll try again

I'd pick it back up if the softlock on clear was fixed at some point...

Yep, it's crazy the game is still broken on Steam. Surely Atari would allow a little patch after Llamasoft's recent work.

Btw I recently discovered Ultimarc has an analog arcade joystick that supports up to 8 arcade buttons. Pair it with a spinner and you can make the ultimate Tempest 4000 controller.

A while back I added an 8-way industrial "Hat Switch" to my Ultimarc Spinner controller which is basically a mini joystick that works great!

I know it will never happen again BUT what I wouldn't do for a new Tempest game with spinner support!

I've been playing Tempest 2000 with spinner support. I actually like that one better than 4000.

Can you tell me how to play 2000 with spinner control?

[mb3018]

Download T2k Version: 0.06c from that first website. It has spinner support. There's also a new Jaguar emulator called BigPemu that has spinner support, but I like the other one better.

Nice tip of the hat from Nintendo life -

Have most people heard of "Super Mario Maker 2" where people can make nearly endless numbers of levels?

Wouldn't that be great if you could do something like that with Tempest 4000?

Make your own levels and share them with everyone!!!

I have been following Ryukar doing SMM levels for years - some real dozies there and they are trying to complete every single Maker 1 before its turned off next month I believe...

This needs to be seen to be believed....



And there a lot of those pixel perfect frame perfect jumps.....insane.

Who doesnt love a Kazio level ? (go google it)

I think this is generally agreed the hardest maker 1 level -

[mb3018]

Doesn't Tempest 3000 do something like give you random level shapes and enemies if you keep playing after the final normal level?
