[edit] Game questions

I am fairly certain tankers (at least flipper tankers) could not shoot, but this page say all baddies could shoot. Am I crazy?

I have played this game all the way up to level 99 and over 1,000,000, and in my experience, tankers of all types most definitely shot at you, but fuseballs NEVER did (they were the only type that never did). Pulsars might or might not shoot at you depending upon what level you were on and what difficulty setting the machine was adjusted to. On the highest difficulty level, pulsars always shot at you, but on low and medium difficulty levels, pulsars only started shooting at level 60. Lchiarav 03:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The article says that the Superzapper could be used twice per level. Isn't it only used a maximum of one time per level? I.M. 1:48 EST, Jan 16 2007

The Superzapper could be used once at full charge, and a second time where it took out just one random enemy, per level. After that second shot, it wouldn't work at all until you beat the level and got it recharged. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 16:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bug? 40 free games?

Wasn't there some sort of bug in the early versions that could give you 40 free credits? I think there is but I don't remember...--Ephraim225 04:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tempest Tubes

Has anyone ever heard of a hacked verson of Tempest caled Tempest tubes?

[edit] Trivia: The coin-op Tempest was in "Twilight Zone The Movie".

Hi, I'm a complete n00b so would someone like to add this into the Trivia section:

The coin-op Tempest was in "Twilight Zone The Movie". The little boy with god like powers from the Third Segment of the movie was playing Tempest in the dinner where he ran into his soon to be teacher...

Of course just make it a short blurb, no need to put in a long winded babble such as mine,... ;)

Please delete this post when it's not needed. And forgive me if I'm missing something or that adding this info would make the page too big or something.
