holygrailvideogames.com Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It has been over a year since the pictures at the link below were posted for Tempest for the 5200. http://www.atariage.com/features/shows/cge2010_preview/demos.html Is this still going to be released? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I was wondering the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segasaturn Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If I recall, I think it was because of the video game crash and because of the "Tramiel" take-over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Didn't know about this. It would be sweet. When can I buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If I recall, I think it was because of the video game crash and because of the "Tramiel" take-over. Hard to tell if that was wry humor, or if segasaturn is clueless about the efforts to finish & release it from AA. I'm waiting for 5200 Tempest too - how about an update Al?

I didn't know people were trying to release it. I was talking about the "original" 5200 version. Thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtori Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I thought it was going to be released by now too. I played it at CGE 2K10 and was hoping for a late 2010 or early 2011 release. I wonder if Al will have an update for us anytime soon... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well you figure it's been 25+ years or so, what's another 1-10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WERY Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well if they decide to release the game soon I hope that it will be compatible with the trakball so everyone can play the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Tempest is still being worked on, so don't worry a release will happen when the game is ready for release. The trakball is supported, I wrote the code for that. One change I should mention is that it is now going to be a one player game only, not two as originally conceived. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running out of ROM/memory? That's not a big deal since it's not a two-players-at-a-time game. Nice to hear he's still working on it. It's been a while since we've seen a new 5200 game.
