Tempest for Atari 2600 is an unreleased prototype whose origins are not entirely clear. It was originally believed to have been developed by Carla Meninsky, but Meninsky herself has since refuted this, and the date on the prototype seems to confirm this. How very curious! Is it any good, though? Hmm...

Atari A to Z Flashback is a weekly series that gradually works its way through the 150 arcade, Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 games that comprise the Atari Flashback Classics compilation for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
