About Polymega Collection Vol. 12: Tempest

Details
Few early classic arcade games have withstood the test of time as well as the iconic TEMPEST and it continues to entertain today with its tight controls and fast paced action. This collection of early digital masterpieces features the groundbreaking arcade classic TEMPEST, playable in Polymega's special Quadrascan Vector Display mode, as well as its impressive port TEMPEST 2000 for the 64-bit Atari Jaguar, a new system now playable for the first time on Polymega. Volume 12 also features a curated selection of other notable Atari arcade titles including Major Havoc, Black Widow, and Quantum. Or, have a taste of intense run-and-gun action with Berzerk and Frenzy, each playable with full immersive arcade mode support. For the true afficionados, there's I, Robot, an arcade game from 1984 that pushed visual boundaries for its time with its innovative polygonal 3D graphics and tight gameplay which pre-dated the 32-bit era by at least a decade.
