Tempest 1000 is based on the Atari coin-op Tempest and the Atari Jaguar remake Tempest 2000 by Jeff Minter.

The controls are:

    F2 to start a game;

    F3 to quit the game;

    LEFT & RIGHT to control the crafts movement;

    UP to shoot the laser;

    DOWN to jump;

    SPACE for megablast.

The idea of the game is to kill all the enemies climbing up the web and progress onto new webs. You have got unlimited ammo for your laser but only 1 megablast per level. On each level you also only have a set number of jumps. At the end of each level bonuses are given for remaining jumps and megablast. 

This game should work on any computer with a java 1.1 capable browser and as of yet I have not encountered any problems. It is recommended that a minimum of a P200 MHz is used with a half decent graphics card. If your computer is slower than this see below for details on getting round the problem.

If you want to run this offline you need to download all the following files into the same directory as the html file:

    explos.au

    Laser2.au

    mega.au

    craft.gif

    Tempest.htm

    Array3D.class

    Baddy2.class

    Baddy3.class

    Box3D.class

    Common.class

    Craft.class

    Game.class

    Level3D.class

    MBlastG.class

    Particle.class

    Shot.class

    Star.class

    StarFld.class

    Temp1000.class

    Triangle.class

There is only 1 parameter that needs to be passed by the html file:

        <applet
                code=Temp1000.class
                name=Temp1000
                width=500
                height=500 VIEWASTEXT>
                <PARAM NAME="speed" VALUE="15">

        </applet>

The speed value is to help out if you have got a slow computer. Decrease the speed parameter to increase the speed the game plays.

There seems to be a problem on some computers that when running offline it does not work properly. I haven't solved this problem yet but if you have Internet Explorer 5.5 or later then this problem never occurs. It works on all computers online.
