I don't think that there's ever been a good port of the original Tempest.

Those two gave similar kinds of scores to SG too though.

OXM gave SG a lower score. Assuming 45 translates into 4.5 in OXM speak.

Anyone know whats happening with SWOS? There has been talk of a pretty major bug that disconnects you from live when the game loads.

I tried to download it and it weren't there. Seems like someone made a booboo.

OH... MY... GOD!!!

I have to say that this is the worst conversion of any arcade game I have ever played. And that this is the worst "reimagining" of any arcade game I have ever played. And I have played many. My apologies to anyone, if there are any, on this forum that workes on that piece if C**P, but this... thing should be banned from any place it dared to rear it's ugly head. And on top of that, to only give TWO levels away as a demo!! That's just an extra insult. And that... what do they call it... their own little try at an asses of fire mode - totally unplayable! The last time I felt like that was when I accidentally bought Teletubbies for my daughter and her PsOne. I'm almost in tears!!

... I'm angry!!

The 'enhanced' mode of Tempest is pure comedy, it's so shit it's untrue.

Sticks stuff up on the advertising boards around the pitch. Bit like the ones in Crackdown.

I actually quite like that idea. For a football game it's about as appropriate as ingame ads get.

Looks like the wrong build of SWOS got pushed out.
