Atari Announces Tempest 4000

Atari today announced Tempest 4000, a shooter based on the classic arcade game, Tempest, will be available this holiday season on current generation consoles and PC. Developed by game designer Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000 remains faithful to the original, while adding new features and updated graphics.

In Tempest 4000, players are once again in control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms. With three game modes to choose from and 100 levels to conquer, players must eliminate all enemies as quickly as possible to survive and achieve that coveted spot at the top of the leaderboards.
