Will TxK be included?

[Krupps]

Wandering if TxK will be included...

[VanAlphen]

Either TxK or Tempest 3000 would make a great addition to the line up of games. Perhaps with a future update or paid dlc to make up for the extra emulator work and possible licencing fees.

There does seem to be a PS Vita emulator with TxK listed as playable.

Considering the legal troubles Atari caused over TxK, I'm not exactly holding my breath for it to make an appearance here

Sure, but Atari owns Digital Eclipse.

How about ET?

Isn't that a bit of a non-sequitur? the Atari 2600 ET game was designed and implemented by Howard Scott Warshaw, not Jeff Minter. meanwhile TxK was a proper Llamasoft game - created by Jeff and Giles - irrespective of Atari's position on the matter.

I know it wasn't Jeff Minter, but it has to come in a collection somewhere, it was a joke..
Okay, it should been in the Atari 50 collection really.

Tempest 2000 is the only Tempest title that will be part of Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

Should it? TxK was published only on Sony platforms and Atari was not involved in any way. It's not part of the Atari history we were telling with this project. Tempest 2000, absolutely part of that story.

I was never the one that mentioned TxK? I was joking about ET being in the Atari 50 collection, as far as taste goes, and i don't know how many more atari games that collection would be missing, but i believe collections should be about containing as much as possible, the good and the bad.

I mean i got 2 Atari Flashbacks (because the later versions got more games added), an Atari VCS and the 50th collection on Steam.

I mean, it is sort of part of Atari history, in the absolute worst possible way.

Tempest 3000 would be great, as the only Nuon emulator is not running fullspeed and will not be developed further after the death of its author. Not sure if I miss TxK as Tempest 4000 is more or less the same game and is still available on all platforms.

Was that on original version from more than a decade ago, or have you tried recent continued developments (to which I wanted to point at when talking to Digital Eclipse as well to keep in mind for the future possibilites considering the open source nature)?

Last build is from this January

They have a bit different flavour, but I agree. The problem with T4K is that now people experience some technical problems (i guess due to newer hardware or win11) but Atari doesn't notice that.

Great, thanks for the info, didn't saw that somebody has picked this up!

I didn't read about much technical problems with Tempest 4000 aside of the game not working on a Steam Deck initially, but when Atari provided Llamasoft with the hardware the issue was fixed.
I am pretty sure I had this game running on Win11, but I am not 100% sure. The Steam forum for the game doesn't list so many issues at the moment.

[VanAlphen]

Tempest 4000 softlocks when you clear it with no score on the leaderboard. It should be a super simple fix. Sometimes the bonus lights appear with the bonus/power up missing.

Ah yeah, happened to me as well when I finished 100th level. At least i got achievement though.
