* Fuseball Tankers and Pulsar Tankers, for different reasons. The former will immediately spawn two Fuseballs when shot, quickly crowding up the web with a highly unpredictable foe. If you shoot the Tanker before it reaches the top, the Fuseballs will gun for the top of the web and take you out if you don't immediately move out of the way. The Pulsars released by the Pulsar Tankers can similarly zap you immediately upon spawning in without warning.

* PolishedPort: The Macintosh port of ''Tempest 2000'', which unlike other ports retains nearly every feature of the game and keeps the graphics very close to the original release, and even offers the ability to play at a higher resolution and with far less lag than the Jaguar version contains. The downside is it requires a pretty specific window of old Macintosh hardware to function properly.
