smac Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Oh, man, Jeff developing for Switch? That reminds me; I haven't visited YakYak in aeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eighthours Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Looking forward to Atari wrecking this by charging something ridiculous again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be dead at the moment. Site went down earlier in the week! Think Giles is handling the Switch port apparently... Good news though. OLED Switch is an ideal place to be playing this!

mechamonkey Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I've been playing lots of Jeff's Stuff (plus various related trance blasting madness like Geometry Wars, Satryn Deluxe, Defender, Robotron, Polynominal etc) again, I think it's basically broken other games for me a bit at the moment, just full short burst brain audio/visual overload seems to be exactly what my gaming needs are right now. This is my life now and I love it I just cannot get enough Tempest in it's many guises, I even took it to the pub 😜 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eighthours Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Also, it turned out that they didn't charge a stupid amount for this after all (I think I got it for £13.76 after using a few points). Glad to be wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I was actually playing TxK on my OLED Vita yesterday - when there was gossip about Vita games disappearing forever I panic-downloaded my favourites and so TxK has a permanent place among my bubbles. And I gave it a mention in my recent top 100 voting. I'm still terrible at the bonus stages though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am terrible at well, all of it actually, but I'm having a feeling like no other games with it (and Tempest 2/4k) I am genuinely gobsmacked how bloody amazing the Vita still is. Geometry Wars 3 and Gravity Crash also well worth playing (apologies if they are in the list, I can barely function as a human currently in this event) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I forgot to say I picked this up. Its gorgeous on the OLED Switch. And just as much fun as I remember 2k being. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geldra Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I played the OG cab of Tempest at the weekend. I’d love a spinner peripheral for this. Remember peripherals? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest 4000 doesnt actually support one There is a hack version that sort of allows it.Tempest 2000 has an excellent (considered shareware by Jeff so it's all above board) emulator that supports spinner I've been very close to splashing out on one of these and seriously eyeing up the Arcade 1up Tempest cab... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not got it but it's discussed in this Steam thread (including a link to a tweet showing a pic of Jeff himself playing it with a spinner and why VR was cut thanks to A(rse)tari)https://steamcommunity.com/app/688140/discussions/0/4457885785385960602/ This might work for you https://steamcommunity.com/app/688140/discussions/0/4457885785385960602/?ctp=2#c1741100099551002117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechamonkey Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Love this quote from the designer of the Original Tempest: Quote Dave Theurer : "I want to design it for a guy who's totally frazzled by his job and needs a way to temporarily escape. There's a certain class of games... where you just get into a trance when you're playing them. As long as you're in this trance you'll do fine.". ^^ This! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpster Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It's a shame this doesn't support VR, bit don't don't put away your headset just yet. This game is stunning in cinema mode. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechamonkey Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I put a reshade mod on the PC version earlier, really makes the game look like an old vector monitor, well worth giving a try Reshade:https://reshade.me/ Preset for Tempest 4000: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/10469/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
