Overview
Description

Bedlam flips the classic Tempest formula, placing your ship in the center of a sector while enemy craft surge outward from the edges. You steer left and right, using a Fast Rotate button to spin quickly and a single-use Zap to clear the screen when overwhelmed. The game features multiple enemy types, sector variations, and a simple ship‑loss mechanic that ends the game when all reserves are gone, offering both single‑player and multiplayer challenges for arcade enthusiasts.

Tempest 2000 is a tube shooter video game that puts you behind the iconic claw‑shaped Blaster, blasting through neon‑lit corridors while a techno‑rave soundtrack drives the intensity. Survive wave after wave of Flippers, Demon Heads, and other enemies across multiple levels in an intergalactic war. The game features enhanced 3D polygons, screaming particle displays, and hyper‑delic Melt‑O‑Vision graphics that create a mind‑blowing sensory assault. Available on PC and Mac, it supports both single‑player and multiplayer modes, delivering the classic arcade feel with modern visual flair.
