    Jeff Minter reworked his PS Vita classic TxK, which was based on his Tempest 2000 release on Atari Jaguar, into an official Tempest game available on multiple platforms! This is an addicting fast paced high score chasing game that while quite challenging at times, is immensely fun to play! The music is the classic CD soundtrack to Tempest 2000 which means it's amazing 90s electronic goodness. Great gameplay, bangin music, and classic Jeff Minter psychedelic visuals make this a MUST PLAY for fans of Tempest or classic arcade titles.

    If you’re on this page, you should just go ahead and order the game. It’s a physical copy of a title I’d normally have to break out my Saturn to play, so this was an instant purchase for the collection. The original Tempest 2000 soundtrack has been preserved, so that’s a huge plus. I do wish this had an options menu. I’d like to tweak the controls a tiny bit, but they’re easy enough to adapt to.

    If you have played any of Jeff Minters modern Tempest games you know what you are getting into. Addictive, fast paced arcade action mixed with crazy visuals and pulsing audio.i think the peak was his Txk on PS Vita, but this one plays just fine and is a must own for any lover of retro arcade games.

    If you're a fan of classic shoot 'em ups & Atari, you're likely a fan of Tempest, and if you're a fan of Tempest at all, you're going to love Tempest 4000. This is a very challenging game that will melt up mind & eyeballs, but it's so worth it.

    Tempest 4000 is a triumphant return to the grid. If you are a fan of this series, you will not be disappointed. My only complaint is that I wish this new title had been released as a collection, including the original, 2000, and 3000.

    It’s Tempest on Steroids. Nice addition to my game collection. Can’t beat the price it sells for way more on other sites.

    Bought this for $6 in a clearance. If you've played the first Tempests, you'll know what going on here. Cool game and great value for the price I got it at. :)

    This is a fun game of Tempest 2000 with a fresh coat of paint. Missed opportunities though in visual and audio which Tempest X on the PlayStation does a better job. Still a Buy It though
