There is a shareware game called Descender written by Scott G. Thede which is a
clone of Tempest.  It's doesn't play as well as the original but then you don't
have to pump any quarters into it.  The rotating knob is replaced by the
left/right movement of the joystick.

>[Does "Tempest" exist for 8-bit machines?]

I do remember seeing a Tempest clone on the Apple ][ many, many years ago.
Those 8-bitters could do quite amazing things if you pushed hard enough.
