Tempest, Vector Sickness Caused By


Hello, Rookie! I noticed you were doubled over between levels of Tempest, hurling into a small paper bag, your insides mixing and purging with the foul breakfast you once thought tasty.

Welcome to Vectorland! Staring too intently into the dark distance of space, as it is divided in an unholy manner by neon vector shapes, can cause vertigo. In extreme cases, it can cause madness. Among pussies, it can cause nausea and vomiting. I guess that makes you a pussy.

Here’s the advice I can give you: first, man up. You are the master of your stomach and the sickness waves it emits, not the other way around. Tell your stomach, “Down, stomach! BEHAVE! I OWN YOU!”

Next, wipe the screen of the bestial enemies in your path. The more clear you make those vectors of alien scum, the less you’ll have to track with your eyes. It’s a sure-fire cure! You’ll never feel sick again when you beat the high-score and put in your initials. It’s pretty sweet, my friend.

Lastly, don’t try to cure your vector sickness by going and playing Battlezone instead. That is a battle in a zone you where you will not win.
