Tempest 2000

[Episode 42] This month, barSILENCE is blasting through the colorific tube-sliding action of Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar!

Jeff Minter’s legendary reimagining of the 1981 classic is a hypnotic, fast-paced game built for the new millennium with vibrant colors, particle effects, and creative level designs. Add a rave-ready soundtrack packed with high-energy techno and sci-fi voice samples, and you’ve got yourself an awesome cyberpunky Y2K experience.

It’s easy to see why this is one of the Jaguar’s best games AND one of its best soundtracks!

Time to fire up the superzapper, take control of the tubes, and set a new high score.

Zappo!
