I remember going to a classic games exhibition in London around the year 2000, I played Tempest for the first time there, it was one of my favourite games I played at the show.

Jeff Minter is clearly a fan as well:

Yes! Not only Tempest 2000 and Tempest 3000, Minter's Polybius [1] is very similar to Tempest. (It's also just awesome that Minter named his game Polybius.)
