It was early in the life of the 32X. A platformer from Sega that wasn't Sonic and made by the company behind Bonk's Adventure. Is it worth playing?

Episode Notes:
1. I had an old Kega Fusion capture I had never used so I decided to roll with that for this review. I had played 6 stages and Kega did a fine job recreating it.
2. While Sega published the 32X and Game Gear titles, they had nothing to do with the Saturn version. Super Tempo was developed by Red Company, Aspect and T's Music. It was published by Media Quest.
3. To date, Tempo remains exclusive to each of its original platforms.
4. Red Company developed Sakura Wars games beyond the Dreamcast. They also did PC, PS2, DS and PSP games in the series.
5. The Game Gear version looks like a 16-bit game at times. It was absolutely gorgeous for an 8-bit title.
6. Super Tempo on the Saturn changed the gameplay radically. Tempo used bubbles to capture enemies, could swim, and pretty much played about as different as it could.
7. Tempo retailed for bank breaking $69.99 at its release. It was even more in Japan.
8. I remember showing this off to my buds when I got it trying to talk up the 32X's abilities. They laughed at me and went back to their Saturn's and 3DO's.

As someone who didn’t get to experience 90s games in their heyday, a lot of these old platformers have a lot of charm to me. I just really enjoy discovering games from an older generation where developers did things differently.

@@ManillaHeep Yeah I was in the same boat myself. I'm actually glad in retrospect that I never got these add-ons cuz they really weren't worth it but it's a shame these games are forever stuck on these consoles. The fact they've never been moved officially anywhere else is just a total shame. A collection of this series would be so cool.

I went to get Rampage for N64. I was super excited about it and my uncle was taking me there to get it. But the clerk looked at me like that was a bad choice. I told him I have fun with it at the arcade. But he was set on stopping me from getting it and that the fun wouldn't last. So I listened to him and got something else which was Blast Corps. I new that was fun also since a friend had it. I don't regret it but it was def strange and really pissed off my uncle. He wanted to by me a new game for 50 which was gonna be rampage and ended up getting a used Blast Corps for 30. He knew I was excited for Rampage cause I had been talking about it then this jerk clerk changes my mind.

As a kid, I remember seeing Tempo in a game magazine back in the mid-90's. I originally misunderstood that this was exclusively on the 32X and thought it was a Genesis release. I always wanted to play it since I adored colorful platformers like Sonic, Dynamite Headdy, Ristar etc. When I finally realized it was for 32X, my heart sank as I didn't have one. I might have to try it now, though. It looks pretty fun!

@duffman18 2 года назад

Definitely give it a go on an emulator. It's not amazing, but it's very decent. It's more an audiovisual treat than a gameplay one. Also check out the sequel Tempo Jr on the game gear. It's easier to emulate the game gear than the 32x. Also there's another sequel called Super Tempo, for the Sega saturn. But the saturn is notoriously difficult to emulate, so you can give it a go, but it may not work properly. You might need to actually own a Saturn and a copy of the game. However, it's relatively easy to burn.. ahem... "backups" of Sega saturns onto a CD using a regular CD burner, and play that "backup" disk on the saturn. Of course, to legally make "backups" of Sega saturn games, you must own an actual copy of the game already, but no need to worry about that...

@GameSack 2 года назад

I like how Tempo's box advertises that the game is in Q-Sound. LOLOLOLOLOL um no. The Genesis handles the lion's share of the audio in the game and all non-mono effects. The 32X only does the sampled sound. The Genesis can't steer Q-Sound at least not with the effort they put into that soundtrack. The 32X could probably do it, but every noise it makes itself in this game is in mono.

@besotoxicomusic 2 года назад

I think they definitely should have a tempo collection. With the Genesis, game gear and Saturn games. Those three games for $20 I feel like would be a really good deal.

@bananonymouslastname5693 2 года назад

A 32X compilation is absolutely overdue. There aren't too many licensed games; Sega owns much of it. Star Wars would be an important license, but more folks should get to play Knuckles Chaotix, the Space Harrier and Afterburner ports, Star Wars, Tempo, Shadow Squadron... the version of Blackthorne on 32x felt pretty different, too... and... um... Metalhead? Kolibri? What really will happen is that Sega will say they have a huge announcement. It will be digital re-releases for PS5 and Xbox Series of Sonic 1 & 2, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and freaking Columns. That's what we all want. More ways to play the Genesis version of Columns.

I always thought this is the most overlooked and underrated game of all time. I'm one of the few who bought a 32X and Tempo was my favorite game on the system by far. I love that you can get by big chunks of the levels by bouncing of enemies if you are a skilled player. This added a depth to the game that set it apart from most platformers and it's a shame it's an incredibly obscured title.

Back in the day this one was a rental for me, then I had to buy it. Not my favorite gameplay in a platformer, I always preferred sonic, dynamite Headdy, rocket knight adv, but there was something about it that was exclusively on the 32x, heck it has a full vocal intro, wacky animations, and a solid music/dance theme. One thing that actually kept me coming back was the way you could grind for points to see more of the ending (of sorts) you got more pictures in the credits the higher your score. Some really wild pictures too. Yes, when you only have a few 32x games you play them a lot to find out these things. Am I the only one who did this? Great vid SLX!!!

@JamesMSmithsDeadYouTubeChannel 2 года назад

As someone whose been genuinely curious about Tempo for a while now, I thank you for this review. I agree with you that the price tag isn't worth investment, especially when I already own platformers like Astal and Gex on the Saturn. Still, I have to give Tempo credit for trying. As the semi-mascot for the 32X and one of the only platformers the console had to offer, he held his own. Shame that other platformers had much more to offer...

@Adamwinters 2 года назад

@9:45 Tempo's "ducking kick" is actually the highest scoring single attack he has. It took me a few playthroughs to realize how nuanced the game's scoring system is. Far from ideal, but the game doesn't so much reward you for how well you play, but for knowing the spots where you can net loads of points, maximizing them, and (sometimes) dying intentionally to repeat it. It's worth mentioning this game's multi-tiered endings, all activated by score. The best endings require an insane amount of points, which some players have deemed impossible... likely the result of a last minute edit to the game to increase challenge and replay value without adjusting the default enemy totals, but I can confirm the top tier endings are achievable without cheats, even if the grinding involved won't make it worthwhile to many players. Building up enough bonus tokens in order to replay and perfect the bonus stages are also essential to great scores... I found the Karate rhythm game was the most efficient. For years, I had read about this game being stylish but without substance, but I finally snagged a copy earlier this year and I was surprised to find myself replaying it for about two weeks. I ended up appreciating what it does well so much (mostly the characters endear themselves to me), that I can overlook its faults. I even took the plunge and bought a Saturn copy of Super Tempo, and that one truly is work of art.

@SegaLordX 2 года назад

As far as I could tell the “endings” were just different picture prizes based on the score. Not really a compelling reason to replay to most folks.

@Adamwinters 2 года назад

@@SegaLordX I will say the best ending is interesting. Tempo and Katy end up married (I guess?), home owners, and are shown to have great success building up a big family of their own. Katy's even pregnant with one more on the way (don't even want to know how that works for these characters). Something of a rare resolution for video games of that era.

Tempo and Super Tempo have some of the most colorful and appealing graphics style I’ve ever seen. The character design certainly rocks Gex, Rayman,etc. The first one is a bit clunky gameplay wise, and Super is simplified (for the better, I think). Super is full of set-pieces and is quite unpredictable. I managed to beat Super, but could never get too far in 32X Temp.

@Lightblue2222 2 года назад

@christopherdarling95 2 года назад

I think the genesis is rendering most of the characters and foreground game play and the 32x handles the bosses (and backgrounds) which are rotated and scaled.

Every 2D platformer back in the mid 90's always seemed to have pre-rendered graphics and they really didn't age too well in most cases.

It would have been nice if they had taken the time to make really smooth sprite-based bosses instead of the lifeless, pre-rendered stuff that just clashes with the rest of the game.

I think the main problem with Tempo for me is even without the 32X pretty much the whole game is there and the 32X primarily is used for the backgrounds and the bosses. Probably because most developers didn't have the time or resources to get used to the architecture. It's a shame too as in theory it could have done some impressive games but it really never should have been released to start with.

The fact that they had the mega/ Sega CD and the 32X and that both essentially failed equally is really incredible. And of course both those failures led among other things to have consumer trust lost on Sega that would lead to the domination of PlayStation and the absolute collapse of the Saturn in the US and everywhere else outside of Japan. Sadly neither add-on was really what Sega needed or was really thought out or well fleshed down as a product.

For real, right? I think I got it for about $5 a decade ago.

I remember going to Blockbuster. We rented a Sega Genesis system,me and brothers wanted to rent Golden Axe.All they had was Sonic. $10 for the console, $5 for the game plus tax. Love you mommy.

This game reminds me a lot of Air Zonk

Tempo: using the power of the 32x to have screensaver backgrounds behind a basic genesis game.

Oooooh, it's called Tempo? I've been interested in this game off and on without a name tied to it. I gotta check this out now.

I love this game, it’s so crazy and bonkers! It always puts a smile on my face - it’s very uplifting and fun.

I never played Tempo on 32X till many years later. I was lucky to get a loose cart for $26, but that was a few years back. I like it for what it is. I also have Tempo Jr. I wish I could get Super Tempo, but not at the price that it's going for these days, sadly.

Good review. I have this game in my collection. I had no idea it was worth that much these days, as I got it out of a bargain bin back in the day. Don't think I paid more than $15 for it NIB. These days I usually play it via emulation because I don't like having all those wires around my Genesis.

Music has such a toe jam and earl vibe…I wanna play this.

Tempo's title theme song sounds like something from some animated series.

It's probably my favorite 32X exclusive, but it doesn't have much competition.

4:55 @Sega Lord X it was visually stunning, but Astal and especially Rayman hadn’t been released when I bought my copy of Tempo (and Metal Head) in February of ‘95. As a mater of fact, I didn’t even see Astal in action until May 10, 1995 (the day I bought my Saturn) which at the time had only been released less than 2 weeks prior in Japan. (Had there been a way to play it on my US Saturn right then, I would have bought it along with Daytona and Panzer Dragoon). Rayman wouldn’t debut until September (a good 7 months after I bought Tempo). I was able to buy a copy for my PlayStation about 2 weeks after buying the console. A week later I bought the US version of Astal. By this time I had already owned Tempo for almost 8 months.

Maybe it's the 90s kid in me saying this, but I would love to see a new music based platformer that's about as funky as this one, even if it isn't an actual Tempo game! And no, ToeJam & Earl doesn't count because that's not a platformer, unless they somehow make a successor to Panic on Funkotron, but I wouldn't count on it.
