Hi Ron, The main thing I liked about Tempest was that you were stationary and the world spun around in a circle in front of you. If you hit left arrow eventually you would be back where you started without hitting the boundaries of left and right screen. In an audio version, this could mean the aliens moved left when you hit the left arrow and as dropping aliens reached the left edge of the field they were teleported to the right edge. The aliens were in a circle and they all started out near you at the center and all but the ones aiming directly at you moved out to the edge of the circle. Once reaching the edge of the circle they landed and came at you from the sides like Aliens in the Outback. When they started out they were just dots and as they got closer they formed into the various shapes so at first it was hard to decide what they were. In audio this could be represented by the volume of their sounds, starting out very low and getting louder as they got closer.

It was rather visual. _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
