Joe Siegler Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I was looking through the atariprotos.com site at Tempest, and my wife walked in the room. She took a look at this screen: and said "What the hell is that? Atari underwear?" I lookd for a second and had a big laugh - she's absolutely right. The 2600 proto here really looks like a pair of underwear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Actually the original name of the game was Panty Raid, but Atari made Carla change it to Tempest. Don't tell anyone though, it's a secret! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I hope the game changes its underwear every day and it should try boxers once and a while to let the jewels breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 This must be the equivalent of a Rorschach test for the Atari 2600. I don;t think that Dave Theurer had this idea in mind when he created Tempest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I don't think this board shape appears in the arcade version, maybe it's Carla that had the issues? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
