SEGA saturn Tempest 2000 Gameplay

[jmydzn322]

thumbs up if you want to release tempest hd

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

The Jaguar version was better though.

[meowmmmmm]

This port is much better than the 'Tempest X' version. The Saturn version seems to display less graphics on screen though, which is strange as this Saturn pulls music direct from CD, and does not have to process it like the Jag does. Check out my video of my new Jag Ultimate controller.

[johnnyxsi]

@meowmmmmm I had the jag version and this game was the only one I played to death. My jag broke down and I got the saturn version. The saturn tempest had great music, but the colors were banded which ruined it for me.

[SIHdW3W]

the spaceship looks like geometry wars

[Ihatethisshitcalled]

@SIHdW3W you meang geometry wars looks like this shape.

[SIHdW3W]

Nice video. Too bad the Atari Jaguar version still sounds the best.

[valis77songs]

I heard this from the AVGN Jaguar videos

[abbeykroeter]

everything about it is cool except the floating words coaching you along, stating the obvious at the same time distracting.I rather the enemies get tougher. Who at the design house says "hey let's have more meaningless things floating around that we have to learn to ignore"... reflects the way people are being inadvertently programmed to think now. Even the way they drive or walk among crowds shows it, drifting towards potential conflict without thinking.

[Sonicthehegehog100]

Tempest 2000 is kick ass in all it's forms

[hugothenerd]

Most ported game is Tetris

[dannygalaga]

Have just been playing this on the Jaguar with a rotary controller. Takes you to a whole new level (",)

[InfiniteGears]

no you dont not even prototypes exist

[dannygalaga]

Sorry, i meant for the Atari Jaguar. Play it with a rotary controller on the Jaguar. It's awesome!

[Gamewitzer]

Lemmings is probably the most ported game ever.

[tyran64]

this game has sick music good thing it has it's own soundtrack

[Nintendoman2112]

*sigh* i mess this game alot

you know you can put this game in the PC and get the music?

[NutsGum]

I don't know this for a fact for this specific game, but many Sega Saturn games had the music in CD music format on the game disk that could be read by CD players or PCs...Just skip the first track (where the programing code for the game was stored).

[sinnison23]

That's exactly correct, I own it and I would constantly play the soundtrack in my CD player, through two 15" Zenith house speakers, four studio monitors, and two PA speakers all run through an old Crutchfield EQ and Zenith stereo amplifier. THIS GAME BUMPS.

[MrSaturn33]

@NutsGum I doubt there's very good Atari Jaguar Emulators around, from what I hear Sega Saturn emulators are OK, and there's some great PSX ones if you know what you're doing.

[Traductus5972]

@MrSaturn33 yeah the only one i know of lags very bad

[ssimon98]

@MrSaturn33 Project tempest runs perfectly on my computer

[Terramax]

@Nintendoman2112

If you have a saturn copy try the SSF saturn emulator.

[Nintendoman2112]

@Terramax I lost the copy many years ago... but I still have the case!

[Ninsegalover2]

LOVE THE MUSIC!!!

[OlekDw]

Prince of Persia is most ported.

[themanwithnonose]

the most ported game ever is definately tetris

[Jesus32Xtreme]

then primal rage, well feels like it anyway ......... ;)

[therealKINDLE]

Sorry! Didn't mean to sound so pedantic!

[Glumglufs]

The sound in this version seems to be the best. Probably because of the Saturn dedicating an entire processor to sound.

[therealKINDLE]

The sound is more clear but the soundtrack is no way as good.. Trust me!

[Glumglufs]

I see

[theatarijaguar]

I love the Jag version but even on a YouTube video it looks like the special effects explosions are smoother in animation than the Jag's. Does anybody know if Minter trips on LSD?

[DevilMaster]

Tempest 2000 is not the most ported game ever: The Sentinel (made by Geoff Crammond) was ported to more platforms than Tempest 2000. The Sentinel was released for:

Commodore 64

BBC Micro

Amstrad CPC

ZX Spectrum

Amiga

Atari ST

PC

[custole]

One of the worst games ever, Rise of the Robots, got more ports than that: 3DO Amiga (500/1200/4000) Arcade CD-i CD32 Game Gear Master System Mega Drive/Genesis PC Super Nintendo

[DevilMaster]

"One of the worst games ever"

That's why I forgot about it :-D

[Killm33m012]

the grafics for this game are actually quite nice

[fingersmaloy]

Predecessor to Rez, or successor to Sonic 2? You decide.

[Appule69]

I find this game very fun.

[mjdoomreviews]

i thought this was a jaguar exclusive lol

[3gdosrsfs]

continued.....

The Meltovision and Pixel

shatter effects are missing and replaced with rather obvious and inadequate polygons.

Version Ranking

Jag #1

Saturn #2

Playstation #3

Nuons Tempest 3k is visual brilliant but becasue of it the game is almost unplayable as it gives you a head ache after a while.

Unbelievable effects with all due respect to

Mr. Minter but way overdone.

[Marc8Marc]

Agreed. In T2K, the "hyperdelics" are okay, bordering on the point of obnoxious if you're not in the groove, but T3K is hard to bear because of the overblown effects.

[3gdosrsfs]

You know what they say, too much of a good thing...

[Sampler19]

Plus the Soundtrack on Jaguar is better because it sounded a bit more "hardcore" with no strings in the main theme.

[A31Chris]

They kinda gayed up the voice samples in this version. And where's the background starfield at?

[drewminati]

soundtrack was the shit man

[StrayZer0]

isn't there sumthing like this on xbox live arcade?

[phonedork]

If you have a mod chio on your sega saturn. You can reburn the game with any music you want. I used music from certain movies instead of this GAY ass techno shit!

[sega31098]

the techo music was one of the reasons for it being a critical acclaim.

really.

[Ebb1993]

Wow! That music is AWESOME!

[abkha]

no, it isnt!!

[reddor]

why is the soundtrack so much cooler than the one from the jaguar version? :\

[TheGameroomBlitz]

Redbook audio is probably a major reason why. Everything sounds better when you play it off a disc!

[sega31098]

also, it's that i think that the "PLAY" voice sounds better in the sega Saturn version, comparing it to the atari Jaguar version that sounds like a random teenager saying "Play".

[3gdosrsfs]

The Jaguar version were trimmed down version of the music .mod files becasue they had to fit the whole game, samples mods and all in

a 2 meg cart. With Saturn you have redbook

audio so the tracks are just spooled off the

CD and played...The Jaguar had to actually play the mods becasue there was no CD.

All things considered, I still think the Jag

version is all around the best. I think the

Saturn does a much better job than The PS1

did with this game.

continued....

[djmick90]

@reddor because its on cd, the jaguar used cartridges.

[zombiemouse]

We miss you Interplay....

[GamerScorePro]

this game was fun back in the day
