Tempest 2000 is a remake of the original Tempest arcade game which came out in 1981. Tempest 2000 was developed by Atari and Llamasoft and released initially for the Atari Jaguar in 1994. This was one of the better games for the Atari Jaguar but since the Jaguar did not fare too well commercially, the game was ultimately ported to other systems, including the Sega Saturn, DOS, Macintosh and PlayStation, all in 1996. The PlayStation version was actually an updated version titled Tempest X3 with updated graphics and sound and some variations on the gameplay of the original. The Sega Saturn version was closest to the original Jaguar version. Eventually, a Windows version was also released.
I am not aware of any re-releases of this game but there was a sequel. Tempest 3000 was released for the NUON DVD system. Space Giraffe and TxK were not official sequels but they have many similarities. TxK was released for the PS Vita and Space Giraffe was released for the Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Arcade and Windows. There is also an unofficial clone of Tempest 2000 for Android titled Cyclone 2000.
