Synopsis

Storm is a clone of Atari's arcade hit Tempest, but while that game used crisp vector graphics, this version is rendered in blocky text graphics. You control a ship moving along the edge of a tunnel-like construction. From the bottom of the tunnel come out colored bars of different colors. As you move through the mouth of the tunnel, you pull on the bars until you reach a set score, which will propel you to the next level. With only 99 hits allowed at each level, it's better to let the bars reach the end of the tunnel than to miss them with your weapon. One type of bar not to be missed, however, is the orange type, called “Millibars.” These, if they reach the edge of the tunnel, will pursue you. After a while the millibars will disappear, but if more than one has reached the edge where you are, avoiding them long enough can be very difficult. The game becomes progressively more difficult as you progress through the levels, and in later levels the tunnel itself is no longer displayed.
