I've wanted that, too, for a long time, but I've never seen one.
It may require a IIGS, because without color mapping support I don't
think it could be made responsive enough.  Judging by Crystal Quest,
the IIGS would have the power to animate the objects that come at
you from the center.

The other issue is that Tempest really requires a continuously
rotating controller.  It may be feasible to map this onto a side-
to-side mouse motion without ruining playability, but maybe not..
