Tempest, Sensible World of Soccer on XBLA Wed.

December 17, 2007 9:09 AM

Modern updates of two old-school classics hit the online Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, December 19.

Selling for 400 Microsoft Points ($5), Stainless Games' revisiting of Atari's Tempest adds all sort of fancy graphical effects to the tunnel-based shooter. Of course, the original graphics are included as well.

Kuju Sheffield's reimagining of Sensible World of Soccer, meanwhile, is priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Based on the supposedly fan-favorite Sensible World of Soccer '96/'97, the latest release in the series adds online play and high-definition assets to the mix.

    I agree, you need the spinner to play this game properly. You can buy spinner controls for the PC. I've been thinking about doing this myself; making an arcade control panel for some of the older games like Tempest, Robotron etc.
