Boxtext

In 1994, Atari Corporation, Llamasoft and Imagitec, Inc. joined forces to create the high energy Tempest 2000, a complete audio-visual overhaul on the smash arcade classic.

Hallucinatory, hypnotic and sometimes harrowing, Tempest 2000 has blown minds (and not a few television speakers) across America and around the video-gaming world. New remastered for audio CD, Tempest 2000's techno-rave, cyber-delic musical maelstrom leaps off your JAGUAR and onto your home CD player in screaming digital stereo, each sequencer tick clean as polished chrome, each throb of synthesizer a distinct, pleasant shock in the system. Feel you mind, your nerves and your pulse gearing up high as you wind your way into the pulsing galactic webs, through jungles of ambient sound, corridors of rhythm, and storms of light and music, voices and effects, symmetry and chaos. Enjoy the Tempest!

Trivia
Die CD wurde im September 1995 auch dem Jaguar CD-Laufwerk beigelegt.
