Imagine you had one free computer game to play for every day in the year.

Here you go, try this.

Out of all the games found in the link above, my absolute favorite is Torus Trooper.

Best Tempest clone I've seen so far

Remember Tempest? It was one of the most action packed, fastest and challenging arcade games of it’s time. With Missile Command you had to be fast but with Tempest, you had to be even faster. The sheer bombardment of shapes and the vertigo inducing effect of the tunnel was just mind blowing back then. No level in Tempest was really like the one before and the pressure just kept building up. People would gather around you if you reached a certain level and that’s when you had to start proving yourself. Would you make it into the highscore top 10? If you made it and you were cool enough, you’d just smash an AAA into the highscore list and walk off like John Wayne, smiling smugly and going for some more coins.

Torus Trooper takes you back to that kind of feeling. Just this time you’re alone in front of your PC and the graphics are far better. No worries, though. You can still get up, and walk over to the fridge to get some juice … like John Wayne.
