Typhoon 2001, An AWESOME Tempest 2000 Clone - Jody Bruchon

The 1981 arcade game Tempest was before my time, but I enjoyed it when I tried it on an emulator one day. Then I played Tempest 2000 on a PC...with no working sound. It was fun, but quiet. Then I downloaded this masterpiece, Typhoon 2001, a from-scratch enhanced remake of Tempest 2000, and I never really stopped playing it when I was itching for some fast-paced fun that might blow out my subwoofer. For best results, play in a dark room with really good bass and crank it up.

5:35 View switched from fixed to following (F2 I think)
8:05 The levels add spikes to avoid when finishing
14:28 Warp enabled! The really weird bonus stage.
15:33 Bonus stage ends
17:05 No lives left, looks like I'm gonna lose soon
26:23 I actually use the Superzapper for once
26:52 The levels have a row of spikes from the start
28:40 Level selection lets you pick any of the 99 levels
29:14 Level 98. Insane difficulty. No, I don't last long.

You can get Typhoon 2001 from here: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/typhoon_2001_3267.html

I don't normally post gameplay footage, but I was poking through Tempest 2000 videos on YouTube and it occurred to me that the music and sound effects sound way better in Typhoon 2001 than they do on the Atari Jaguar or the official soundtrack, so I figured I'd fill the void. Well, I ended up filling the void for a lot longer than I expected...the game is freakin' fun, what can I say?
