TEMPEST ORIGINS '81

Tempest Origins collection

Tempest is a 1981 arcade game by Atari© designed and programmed by Dave Theurer. It takes place on a three-dimensional surface divided into lanes, sometimes as a closed tube, and viewed from one end. The player controls a claw-shaped "blaster" that sits on the edge of the surface, snapping from segment to segment as a rotary knob is turned.
