I would like to know about how Tempest plays.
1-Should the shooter button continuous shoot or is there a slight delay between rounds to keep you from sitting in one spot.
2-Is there a way to kill the fuse ball once it gets up to where your "man" is other than the super zapper?
3-Is there a limit to the save points? It looks like it will save after 3 levels. Is there a point where it will not save? I was playing a game and got out and it took away my save point.
1: I think you fire 8 shots, and you fire them rapidly, so if you hold the button down, you'll have gaps in your shots where you might get hit by the little fireballs the enemies shoot at you (if you change lanes while all your shots are still in one lane)
2: I don't think there is, but you get one "hail mary" super zapper that kills one enemy after using it the first time. It'll kill the fuse ball if it's out there, so I always make sure I save that "hail mary" until the end of the level when he comes all the way out in your lane. This doesn't work on higher levels though (upper red and yellow) as you get tons of fuse balls (the pink tankers spawn them) and the go back and forth to the edge of the lanes.
3: I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I think you mean the starting levels it'll let you start at when you press player 1. There's a couple machine settings. One ties it to the high score, another ties it to the previous game. Either way, there's preset levels that you can start at. If it's based on the previous game, then you have to clear whatever preset level in order to start there on the next game (for example, on that setting, the highest level you can start at with no previous game is 9. The next level is 11. If you clear level 11, the next game, level 11 is available to start at. The preset start levels are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, and I'm not sure after that.)
(note: I see Bungy posted almost the same stuff as I did, but I'll keep my post as is
