Tempest, best arcade vector game ever?!
 

Today I finally got to relive one of my favourite arcade games today via MAME and a propper spinner controller, I'm still not that good at it but what a joy it was to play what I consider one of the best vector games ever to come out of the golden era of arcade gaming, so much so I decided to record a little "let's play" video of it showing off those lovely colours by setting the bloom level up and showing all the different coloured levels.


I hope you enjoy my little video if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtSFObdzKSY


Here is the entire game all bloomed up for those extra glowy lines,...with the help of a bit of an immunity cheat :D

*sigh* I owned a Tempest arcade cabinet in my teens. I bought it from a guy on my paper route for $50. Fixed it up and, oh, man, it was so awesome. When we moved my game would have put us over our weight allowance so I had to sell it. It still haunts me.

Short answer: yes. :D

StarWars I’d say.

starwars for me too, edited - originally mentioned i-robot but went back and looked and that was filled polys.

Surely the classic Asteroids...

Asteroids I can understand that because it was maybe the first one I played, Warzone was iterating too because of it’s interface.

Although I do love Temppest too..

Tempest on the Jaguar with a rotary converted controller is pretty good. Prefer it to the Saturn version. Leeds Arcade Club have the cabinet

Star wars crowd checking in here too.

I'm going to go with Tempest, because I'm a sucker for colorful games :) It might be simple lines but they still managed to give a really good sense of depth.

I didn't play extensively many vector games, mostly Berzerk on the Vectrex. Black Widow seems nice though. Tempest, I wanted to like this one (or its equivalent Tempest X3 on the PS1) but soon noticed it was very hard and lacked depth. If you're like me, a Berzerk fan, check Berzerk II on MAME (Frenzy).
