Tempest 3-15-84

  

 

This is an interesting prototype as it was specially built to test the drawing of the Pulsar enemy.  Although Keithen had added many features to the game code between the CES Demo version and this version (about 65% complete), only the Pulsars were activated.  Interestingly the limited collision detection from the early version has been turned off, as has the level advancing.

Fuseballs have been added
Explosions for enemies were added
