Tempest 2000 - Sega Saturn - Tempest classic, plus & 2000 mode gameplay [HD 1080p 60fps]

A detailed looked at some of the various modes included on the Saturn's port of Jeff Minter's Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar. Which in turn was a remake of the classic Dave Theurer, arcade game Tempest. It has to be said there a surreal, trance and slightly psychedelic feel with the look and music of Tempest 2000. Remaining true to the arcade roots this is a fast paced shooter, that see you blasting monsters rapidly crawling toward you from the ground below. It remains as playable now as it did when the original arcade released and Tempest 2000 updates the format perfectly. The Saturn version is pretty much a perfect port with a few changes here and there, the biggest change is to the audio which now use the official soundtrack version of the music. Our only compliant is the totally lack of boss battles, which would have made a nice break to the format every 20 or so stages.
