tempest 2000

[zenocha]

The other day i dug out my jaguar and had a blast on tempest 2000, id forgotten how great it was, i would imagine this has probably come up before but do you think a port would be possible? I dont know if the source code is available but i seem to remember someone saying jeff minter has a gp32 but i dunno if he uses this forum.

just an idea, feel free to shout at me if you think im wrong.

its a great game and my second fav on my Jaguar, next to Aliens vs Predator. Seemingly a simple game, nothing to graphically challenging, the sound is really good though. Since Jaguar emulation will never happen on GP32, would be nice to have a remake. Good idea though.

I'm hoping Tempest will be working on fMAME when it's released, one of my favourite arcade games ever.

The jaguar has only recently been emulated on the PC, plus it's 64 bit, so that version aint gonna be emulated

im not asking for an emulator, just a port or remake

64 bits technically, but it was hardly 64 bit. It was only capable of 24 bit graphics.

Why not simply using the core of "Tempest 2000" for PC?
A little brush up and a MP3 player for audio, and this game would own. Besides, the PC version only needed a 75MHz CPU, so this should work well. =)
