Tempest 2000...THIS is the great Atari Jaguar game??
Re: Tempest 2000...THIS is the great Atari Jaguar game??
I believe the PC ports (DOS and Windows) had MOD(ule) as well as Redbook audio. The wiki mentions AdLib and Roland MT-32 which means MIDI was also thrown in for good measure.

The floppy version has the modules. Yes I'm a nut with PS1 and both the PC versions. The CD version has both Music tracks and the modules for full install. Doesn't work in XP, even tried 95/98 compatibility mode, Luckily I have a removable hard drive with Win 98 and DOS 6.22 for all those older games.

Just found out there is Saturn and Mac version too.
Looks like there is also a Windows EMU of the Jaguar.

I bought the PC CD version years ago. I wasn't too impressed with it then. I recently got the Jag version and it is just more fun to play. I just pulled out my PC disc, and its been so long, I didn't know it had the music on it. Man, I Picked up the Jag soundtrack too. Granted 'Ease Yourself' is missing, but I didn't need to buy it again. Oh well.
I have the Interplay version though, not the Atari one like the cover you posted.

I'm just saying... Together Retro calendar has not been finalized yet. There's a couple days left. A lot of you seem to be into Tempest. There's a lot of versions. But if I'm the only one mentioning it on the Together Retro thread, then it's not gonna happen...

The only problem I have there is that Tempest requires a spinner to really appreciate.

supposedly there's a rebel Jaguar Spinner out there. And I'm just guessing, but there must be a PC Spinner available?
