09 - Tempest 2000

Light up the webs in the critically-acclaimed abstract shooter Tempest 2000 by Llamasoft. This ox-sized episode features plentiful music, a detailed analysis, an overview of sequels and derivative games, several personal stories, and music. Did I mention the music?

Also included is feedback from doctorclu, Trooper Galactus, Louis, Bill Kendrick, and The Requiem!

This episode has been modified since its original publication. Changes applied on 2021-07-04:

• Updated theme music (to version 3)
• Compressed voice track
• All music is now in stereo! This was a major oversight before.
• Balanced music volume a bit better
• Re-recorded the first 25 minutes or so, to sound less asleep and remove most of Bishop's interruptions
• Added a drop-in edit about how to enter initials using the rotary controller
• Re-recorded the part about Space Giraffe
• Removed mention of first getting the soundtrack with the JaguarCD, which was wrong
• Removed "Excellent" at the very end, which didn't fit

Next episode: Kasumi Ninja!
