Tempest X3

Tempest X3

Released1996
In Tempest X3 you control a claw that perches and crawls around the outer edge of a series of geometrically shaped, tube-like constructs, shooting down or out into the nebulous void of outer space. From the core of this void, fuseballs, rockets, pulsars, tankers and other hazardous aliens and alien artifacts move toward your ship. Once you clear a screen, you fly into the void and onto the next level. Watch out for spikes as you advance.

About This Game

Tempest X3 packages three distinct takes on the arcade classic. Classic Tempest stays true to the early-1980s original. Tempest X modernizes the formula with a jump mechanic, AI Droid allies, and upgraded visuals and audio. Tempest Duel throws two players against each other and a Generator that produces an unending stream of enemies — survival demands both competition and cooperation.
