The game is progressing nicely, it's still on track for a release. I already have all the boxes, manuals and labels printed.

As far as I'm concerned the effort could take a few more years and I wouldn't think anything of it.. but with Albert saying that.. it's s certainly much more concrete & tangible news than I expected.

Will this be available for emulators? Since I'm not allowed to have consoles, emulators would be the only way to play this..

I'm not 100% sure, but from what I've heard & seen, Tempest Xtreme is a port of Tempest 2000 - a different game with far more memory available for it. (1Mbit?) 5200 Tempest will be the coin-op port we wanted back in the day, with GAME SOUNDS as our accompaniment.

tempest xtreme is based on the unfinished 5200 game
runs ok on a standard Xe game system
no expansion needed,
though i don't know the size of the cart...

The control is spot on. It works very well with the stock 5200 controllers as well as the track-ball.

Tempest Xtreem is a mixture of the original Tempest with elements of Tempest 2000, including music, speech and some game play elements.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure peteym5 wrote his version entirely from scratch.
BTW, the game is on a 128K SuperCart.
