greyfriar Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 My father sends his thanks he was starring at the video for almost 30 minutes straight trying to remember :smoke:Â Really loved the game back then, great memories. A few years ago I found a CD with a PC version of it, at a flea market, but it's not the same to play this on PC. You really need that damn rotary knob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I liked Zaxxon and Robotron more. I'm an old pinball head..but the place I used to work had a Zaxxon, and I'd mess with that if the machines were filled up when I was on my lunch break...wasn't that good at it, but it wasted quarters.....

stone and a hard place Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Tempest was great--and after spending about $1000 I got pretty good at it. DonkeyKong as my all time favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
