[comp.sys.amiga.games] Tempest

About seven years ago there used to be an arcade game called "Tempest". It was
designed by the same guy who did "Missile Command" and had a single rotary dial
and two fire buttons as input. Despite this it was the fastest and most playable
game I have ever used.

I've seen a version on the ST, does anybody know of an Amiga version.

A brief description of the screen: A vector graphics "tube" of various shapes
going back into the screen. Baddies glide down the tube and when they reach the
end, walk round the rim trying to catch your base, which moves round the rim.

For fast and instinct/reaction type play I have never seen an equal.

Thanks.
