The closest that I've seen to Tempest (my ALL TIME favorite) is an old game
on the Mac called Grid Wars.  It's not supported anymore - I think it was
Accolade or someone like that who published it, and MOST of all, it worked
on my Macintosh Plus last year, but no such luck on my SE/30 this year.
I figure "thumbs down" on all non-68000 machines.  I've still got my copy of
it - would you like it for $10?

Kinda similar to Qix is Iggy Iggopolis - available on most BBSs.  It's not
even real close, but it's a good game and in the same "class" as Qix
