Title: Minter's masterpiece
Product review: One of the greatest shooters ever, only available on a defunct console that hides inside a dvd player. It's criminal how many will never get the chance to play Tempest 3000 as it's the absolute pinnacle of the Tempest template. 2000 on the Atari Jaguar is cleaner to look at, and certainly beats it in gameplay terms if you can source a rotary controller, but 3000 is more immersive, and that's where the magic lies. As soon as it loads you're hit with an explosion of neon pyrotechnics and a deep, manacing soundtrack that combines dance/rave, sci-fi and 80s videogaming. Add some of the tightest gaming mechanics ever programmed and it all comes together to create an experience where you simply become unaware of anything outside of the game. And that's what Tempest 3000 is all about; the experience. There's nothing else like it.
