Atari jaguar hardware flaw Videos

The Saturn version came out a couple months later than the PS1. Most likely they were developed simultaneously. One of the coders who worked on both games said that the Saturn had some kind of custom ability built in that made it easier to create this particular type of game. Because of that, they were able to achieve 60 fps, while they could only achieve 30 fps on the PS1 version. So the Saturn one runs smoother. This info comes from realcatgirllover, a Youtuber who has a gameplay video of it.

@123stephenno I've used an emulator as I've yet to buy recording equipment to record the footage from the actual hardware itself.

Problem with any port of Tempest is two-fold. First - the original game was on a gorgeous colour vector monitor and that is pretty hard to recreate. Modern consoles with HD output could do a decent job of emulating that but the second problem is bigger - the original arcade game had a brilliant spinner control which was effectively a weighted paddle and no modern controller can come close. I played this game a lot in arcades - still - I really liked T2K on the Saturn. It was the first version of T2K I played so that has probably biased my view andc I have no idea how it compares to the Jaguar version. I do know that the Saturn PAL version was unoptimised which is a poor show. PS1 got Tempest X3 which is slightly different though I hear that T2K is an unlockable mode in that game.

I would just buy this game for the soundtrack, the game interests me little, though I would still give it a crack!

Tempest in the arcades used a vector monitor. Which (if you played on a vector monitor) was fantastic, so any port you just don;t the same quality in video display.

Its definitely harder then the jaguar version! But it does run at a way smoother frame rate and looks a bit better then the Jaguar version. I can run through the Jaguar version but this mother fucker is hard!!!!

@stuboww im gunna suspect you said "can YOU heal the dog"... if you did mean that then you just start talking to him like any other character then scroll down till if says something like "here boy, take a stimpack" or something. then you will lose a stimpack and the dogs health will go up :D (you have to have stimpacks though)
