I use to love this game. The article says there is an Android clone called Cyclone 2000. I havnt checked that out yet. I wish Steam would get Tempest 2k.

What do you players think?

If the Jaguar'd managed to secure some more key games and release more polished controllers, Atari may have been able to salvage it: It ran pretty well, and it did have a few rather fun games.
Notably, the console-exclusive Alien v Predator was fantastic.

( I didn't get a chance to play Tempest, however, that I recall. :( )

I still have a Jaguar and Alien vs Predator. :) Honestly those old 3D games don't age too well (I prefer more than 3fps these days) but it was very impressive at the time it was released :)

The original Diablo was one of those mind-blowing-at-release games.
I tried going back to it once, post-Diablo 2.
...geesh.

Well, some games age well, even very well.
Others.. well, it's impressive how we once were basically playing games that used abstract metaphors and symbology to represent actual images. :P

I made the same experience when trying Diablo 2 after I finished Path of Excile...

Yeah. It's funny that the games that were the least technically-impressive (old text adventures, simple 8-bit platformers, etc.) still have charm and playability. But the games that seemed "advanced" or "realistic" at the time really look dated now.
