If you like Typhoon 2001, have a look at Tsunami 2010, it's a T2K reimagination in 96 Kb.

Since this topic is relatively fresh, does somebody have the same problem as I have - when the game sometimes crashes? It happens sometimes to me after certain number of music changes (when I switch from menu to game, vice versa and advance through a level having another tune), but it does always just before I enter warp round the second time in one run. Tried to turn the music off, but with no result.

Yes, I had the same issue

Thanks for that link, I've been checking this game for a few hours. Quite beautiful, looks like the visuals are inspired by Tempest 3000. Too bad it is so slow-paced as the enemies show up mostly one by one (IMHO multiplier orbs don't make up for it)

now after 6h of playtime with a xbox360 controller, i like to say that TEMPTEST4000 is the best and evolved version!

Sorry for bumping it, but I guess I found a solution for my own problem, specifically when the game crashes while entering the warp round for the second time in one run.

I just came with an idea to avoid throttling during the warp round. And this time, in one run I managed to enter it... 4 times! Surely would have been more if I didn't run out of the extra lives :)

I'd be glad if somebody could confirm it. OFC I'm going to check again whether this was not a coicidence.

Typhoon 2001 is even worse than Tempest 2000 somehow. None of the control settings work properly, the game is a billion times harder than 2000's already ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficulty, there are way too many modes and options that are poorly explained, and to add insult to injury there's the fetishization of the .mod files for good measure. The original Jaguar version of 2000 was a mistake in its own right...

Tsunami 2010 is a cute but boring attempt to clone Tempest 3000. Not much more to say about it. It doesn't fetishize the .mod files and it even has support for the unreleased Defender 2000 CD, which is cool.

i wish i did not started this thread ....

Do you feel discouraged by a (not so quite constructive) criticism to this game?

Yes, I'm well aware that stating anything that even remotely resembles a challenge to the status quo is considered to be "not so quite constructive", it's very old hat.

Tempest 2000 is not a good game, and Typhoon 2001 is even worse. You can claim to "have fun" with them all you like, but you clearly have very little knowledge of the contents of either game. That kind of ignorance is required to be able to rate these games positively.

The original Tempest and TxK/4000 do not pull the cruel tricks that 2000 and Typhoon 2001 routinely do. That's a simple fact. I'm definitely not sorry if plain old truth hurts anyone's feelings.

Then tell us why are Tempest 2000 and therefore Typhoon 2001 "not good games" from your perspective, apart from your arguments mentioned earlier which definitelly seem to be a subjective matter.

Tempest 2000 on the jag is a great game ! AND Typhoon 2001 is even better ! FACT !

I own a jag with a "scart" RGB cable and running at 60Hz refresh rate and I've played the jag ver to completion many times so I know Tempest 2000 on the jag ! And right now I'm really into Typhoon 2001 and I'm loving it !

Typhoon 2001 is a great game and my homemade spinner box works with it because it has "mouse" support , Typhoon 2001 plays diff than the jag ver but it looks better than the jag ver BUT even Typhoon 2001 doesn't look as great as Tempest 4000 looks, It's not even close !

I've never played txk but I've watched many youtube videos of it and it looks pretty much the same as the jag ver with just a little more cool looking graphics thrown in, And there is no PC ver of it, Again txk is not even close to how great Tempest 4000 looks !

I only have one prob with Tempest 4000 which is it has no spinner (mouse) support, Everything else works great including all the buttons on my home made spinner box, All Tempest 4000 really needs is support for a mouse in the game and my spinner would work...

Hey has anybody have Typhoon 2001 crash starting a new web with a little box saying...

"spawn_fx: out of bounds"

and after about 5 seconds you can click an OK button to continue but when the next web starts it's a blank screen and you have to end that game and start another one ???

I'm playing it on a Core 2 Quad Xeon X5470 Computer Windows 7 with a GTX Titan 6 Gb and 8 Gb of DDR3 DRAM PC3-17066 (2133MHz)

I've never seen that before and my computer never has any kind of crashes with any programs...
