Re: Something cool I didn't realize about Tempest

Ehhmm.. Would you mind sharing with us how you've set the switches?

I've looked through the manual, but I can only find the FREEZE DEMO mode
to zoom down all levels. They did not talk about the ability to actually
play these.
so I guess I've never bothered.

Or am I in the dark too? :)

Cya !
