I wondered if this Windows 3.1 game would work in Vista - it does!

I cannot play my microsoft arcade on my 64 bit laptop, you know why? because it was a 16 bit game and you cannot play 16 bit games on 64 bit laptops, but you can play 16 bit games on 32 computers. but you can convert 16 bit games in to 32 bit.

so you can play 32 bit games on 64 bit laptops

I thought this game and looked great when it first appeared in the arcades, and the large cabinet style ones having rich sound for that time... I have been playing one in an arcade in Vegas lately, seems to be in okay shape. I never got to play it much as a kid and now I am old and slower so i need pointers on how to play better in the red levels and higher. It seems people get away with the "crab" walking over the open lanes sometimes and getting killed on others. Any tips?

I never miss them, I hit them every time I shoot! :-D

Just kidding, I like the original Tempest but I prefer the sequels.
