this post on Evil Avatar pointing to Jeff Minter's

Tempest for the Atari Jaguar - probably the sole reason to own the system (and the reason I still have mine packed away in the basement). The Jaguar's version was well known for psychedelic effects and a great techno soundtrack - from the looks of things, the Xbox Live arcade version appears to be (at least visually) in the same vein.
