Has Tempest 2000 ever been remade in HD?

Wasn't Jeff going to do some work for the Konix?

I find it STAGGERING that Jeff Minter is being slagged off here - the bloke is a bloody genius (but maybe you have to be British to truly appreciate this).

1) All the early Atari 8-Bit and C64 stuff (including Psychedelia/Trip-a-Tron early VLM)

2) Llamatron on the Atari ST and Amiga - Need I say more?

3) Tempest 2000 and the VLM in the Jaguar - both stunning for the time.

4) Tempest 3000 and the VLM in the Nuon - again both incredible.

5) Xbox 360 stuff (even if Space Giraffe does split opinion).

6) Now the iOS stuff - truly Minotron deserves buying by any self respecting arcade fan, I can only image what it's like on an iPad (only have an iPhone!). And his latest game GoatUp is simply amazing, for any 8-Bit fan (levels based on Miner 2049er and Jet Set Willy!)

Would have loved to see Unity, which he was working on for the Game Cube, but guess as he is more or less a one man band, nothing relating to this has ever crept out?

 

Completely forgot about Llamatron, it was also on PC and I wasted a lot of time on it as a kid.

 

This Minter dude is a psychodelic stoner genius and all, but that Mutant Camels game looks like a fucking ripoff of Empire Strikes Back on Atari 2600.
