+davidcalgary29 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Does anyone know of any clones of "Tempest" that were published for the 8-bits? I've only been able to find the (truly weird) DataSoft game Genesis, and find that somewhat difficult to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 LiveWire, a type-in from Analog. I typed that in back in the day. It was quite good, actually, for a free type-in! It was murder to type, though... as I recall it was all assembler DATA statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 i would ovte for Axiss Assasin.. its the closest game to tempest on the A8 NIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Well, besides Live Wire (which has 64 levels! and also plays with Paddles or Koala-Pad!) there is Live-Wire 2 which brings us even more levels (also published in Analog Computing). I also remember a game with a spider and a spider net, which was quite similar to tempest (alas, I forgot its name)... greetings, Andreas Magenheimer.

Agent57 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I also remember a game with a spider and a spider net, which was quite similar to tempest (alas, I forgot its name)... greetings, Andreas Magenheimer. Was that game called Web Dimension or something like that? I remember playing this game on a C64 and the music was fantastic...I was never aware of this game being on the A8, however. I think Activision made it...anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 ONly game I recall with spiders on a web was the Atari vector arcade game Black Widow which I don't think ever got ported to any home system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 LiveWire was a very close clone, it was a type-in from either Antic or Analog, I forget, maybe Compute! ??? Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this was never ported to the A8, which is a shame...I remember it being quite a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
