I imagine the controls must kind of suck. Gotta have a spinner! Breakout clones all suffer too with digital or even analog pads. :(
Hope some next gen machines come with spiners by default on their main pad.

I love tempest! I really want a remake for the wii!

I like the Jaguar version better than the PS1 & Saturn versions. I understand Namco has a controller for the PS1 that you turn in the middle. I still don't know what to think of Tempest 3000 on the Nuon, and I hate the advanced version on the Xbox 360

Yay! A PS! review from my old PS1 :D
Awesome review Leaf! :)

I prefer the Jag version just for the music but this one does look a little bit better.
Doubt I'll ever get to have a go on Tempest 3000 >.>

@atarileaf Oh yeah and am sure i will buddy and i did enjoy the arcade original and the 2000 version the Jag too. : )
This is probably my favorite game on the PS. I used to play this for hours. I agree that the D-pad kind of sucks for playing this game but I believe this game came out before the Dual Analog PS controller came out so there wouldn't be any support for it. I don't know if it would have helped either since the only real way to play Tempest is with a dial or paddle controller.
Except the fact that this game works wonderfully with the PS Mouse which is what I always used to play this game.

@Croooow111 I'll have to try to find a mouse. I didn't know the PS1 had a mouse. Thanks Croooow :)

I loved this game on the Jaguar! Sadly this version was released in 96, before the PS dual shock controller.

@starsoldier1 Ah that would explain the lack of analog control. Would have definitely helped.

I love this game, though I like Tempest 2000 on the Jag just a little more. The Jeff Minter effect always works for me.
I'm totally with you on the controls... that knob controller on the arcade was perfect.
Great video :)

@SteveBenway The lighting effects are fantastic. Jeff Minter is a legend. He's made some of my favorite games. Love the camel and Llama games :)
