i tried the GBA version last night and yes it is a different beast to control...especially on a micro GBAnoiseredux wrote:updated the highscores in the 1st post, and added which port we're each playing. It seems none of us can really decide how across-the-boards the ports are as far as scoring goes. So instead of getting to wrapped up in beating each other, I figured this would just be a nice way to keep track of our personal bests.

Re: Together Retro: Tempest
yeah. From what I've read (IGN I think?) the GBA version is almost arcade-perfect graphically. I started listening to the Jag soundtrack while playing the GBA version since the arcade original didn't actually have music. I'm gonna try to track down an actual copy of the soundtrack.
Anyway, like I said -- the scores are more for us to keep track of our personal bests, or see how others playing the same port are doing. 
EDIT: Sevin, what was yr best score on GBA?

So I'm playing the PS2 Atari Anthology port and I totally shot spikes while warping to the next level.

while I watching the computer play by itself, I swear it did the same thing. But I haven't been able to do it. I'll have to try again.Hobie-wan wrote:So I'm playing the PS2 Atari Anthology port and I totally shot spikes while warping to the next level.

Re: Together Retro: Tempest
You do have to shoot quickly. If the spike is too long you won't be able to break it down fast enough.
