Tempest is one of my favorite games, I own the PC version, a friend gave me which I don't know were it is, Jaguar version (with soundtrack) and the PSX version that some of my friends programmed and did level layouts for it. I just wish I could have bought Tempest arcade machine off my friend when he sold it, but I couldn't afford it at the time.
Any arcade cabinet and real controls are better than anything you could ever play on a computer.
