Heres an entry into the GBAX Coding Comp 2007.
Release from James Higgs (aka Jum)
Webfest is a abstract 3D wireframe "tunnel shooter" based on Tempest, but targeted more toward home handheld/console player. It uses the E3D cross-platform 3D scene library which I am busy writing, and in fact started off as one of E3D's examples.

wheres darth paul? i would love to see a screen of it before i download this. as it sounds really cool but i wanna make sure it is
This game is a great Tempest clone, complete with retro vector graphics and sound effects. I actually enjoyed playing it for a few minutes, and it brought back fond memories of playing games on an Atari 2600 when I was younger.
Actually, I am not sure about whether or not anybody agrees with me on this but I believe that the game would be more interesting if the graphics and sound effects were updated a bit, perhaps replacing the vector drawn ships with 3D polygon models or adding better visual effects for attacks/enemy deaths would spice things up a bit.
cool ^^
Thanks for the feedback already dudes. Just got to say 2 things:
1. I'll try to add a screenshot here, but really the game looks 97% like Tempest (and plays 85% like Tempest :} )
2. Very early on I decided not to "spice" up the graphics and 3D models, because A) making a game is NOT about eye-candy, and B) the existing graphics communicate effectively with the player, and C) I wanted to rather spend the time on implementing better gameplay, and figuring out how to make a Tempest-style game work on a handheld console.
