Anyone playing the PC version of Tempest 2000 on their cab? Is it any good?

any problems with playing on a cab with std res monitor?

cheers

I love that game!  There are a few issues I ran into.  Maybe they will save you some time.

1.)  I have to run the DOS version to keep it from running in a window (DOS and WIN95 versions came on the CD), so I had to setup the DOS sound drivers.  After all the soundtrack is one to the best parts of this game.  

2.)  I can't use my spinner with it.  I have to play with the joystick, but it's still a lot of fun.  

3.)  There are also parts of the game's menu that you need a mouse to navigate.  I think this can be changed in the settings somewhere, but I haven't found it yet, too busy playing! This isn't really an issue if you have a trackball in your cab.

As for the STD Res monitor...I don't know.  I use a TV.  The game is low resolution though, remember it's made to be a DOS game, so I couldn't imagine you having any problems.

Not to jump off topic, but another version that's pretty good (and free) is found here:

It's only 96k (music is separate, but small), but has very good gameplay.  Just figured I'd post in case anyone wanted to try it.    It's called Tsunami 2010.

The PC version is okay, it works with the Wingman Warrior joystick/spinner if I remember correctly. I think the Atari Jaguar version is much better, and you can use a real arcade spinner with it (some hacking required).
