Any news regarding EotB?

Sign me up for the 40-list. I'm 100% sure I'll buy this game if it will be released. Haven't checked in here for a fem months and is greeted by this thread. This is so exciting news!

I have a similar problem with my Lynx 2. It runs fine for a few minutes when powered up, but then the screen starts to display increasingly more vertical stripes on it of varying thickness. Am I the only one suffering from this trauma?

Does anyone know where one can pick up an original of Raiden these days? Cannot recall when I saw it on ebay last... I know telegames uk sold it and maybe direct4games still has it for sale after the stock take over but after my latest experience with them I will never place another order there.

edit: double post.

Let's give it one more week. C'mon, hand in your lists lynxers! Edit: We're up to 15 lists so far BTW.

It's been a week and I have a list compiled and ready, but let's wait for some more submissions, until we have about 25-30 lists, to give it a tad more statistical significance. I take this very seriously!

Time will tell. For me it's rock solid. Perfect conversion of an amazing game.

I know the subject has been up at times, but let's drop the ranting about our personal favs and instead assemble our opinions into quantitative measures. First spot is worth ten points and so on down to one. In a week or so I take the responsibility for counting the entries and presenting a list of THE ten must haves for the Lynx. I'll start then. 01) Lemmings 02) Crystal Mines II 03) Chips Challenge 04) Rampart 05) Xenophobe 06) Shadow of the Beast 07) Alpine Games 08) Blue Lightning 09) Desert Strike 10) Slime World Edit: And this is how the list turned out: 1. Lemmings 95p 2. Klax 88p 3. Rampart 75p 4. Slime World 70p 5. California Games 62p 6. Warbirds 57p 7. Blue Lightning 51p 8. Shanghai 48p 9. Chips Challenge 41p 10. APB 38p

Try dodging behind the postbox in front of the store before the explosion.

Holy moly! What an awesome demo. I'll definitely buy the final product. Thanks!

>> I'll post the rom later tonight if I can. Hi, do you still have any plans on publishing the ROM? Waiting eagerly for it!

Do you remember how you did it? For example, level 63 can easily be beaten by constant spinning and shooting until one get a jump power-up. It works at least one out of three. It just CAN'T be possible to rigorously shoot the yellow switches one at a time, then you'll soon have a handful of switches reaching the border and BOOM!

Gah! I've given up on ever finishing that level, 64. How can it be possible? Is there some ingenious strategy I'm not aware of? The only possibility I can think of is to get an "excellent!"-power up just at the beginning to get me warped to the next level. Would trade my cat for that... If that would ever happen I would probably die instantly on level 65 anyway, before I can save, hehe. Is there some logic behind when those warp power up's are awarded BTW? To me it looks pretty random.

....

Coolness! I assume already submitted scores will participate in contest?

I'd be most grateful for a link to where I can buy a new Jaguar console in original packaging. I've found Telegames UK but their prices are a bit steep.

Sign me up for a copy already! I dug the demo and Champ Rally was awesome, so I have no worries. It'll be great!

no

Got my copy this thursday and had no school-obligations on friday so I played it extensively, which the Duranik records page bears proof to. (Come on everyone, submit your results already!) First of all, this title promises nothing it doesn't hold. The graphics are just as splendid as you think, controls are great and everything runs very smooth. At first I thought gameplay was a bit shallow for some events, but once you get into it you find that there's a lot of room for tweaking and bettering your results! Biathlon: Absolutely mouthwatering display of graphical talent. You need timing, endurance and precision and there's a huge "just one more go"-factor significant for any great game. From time to time I find myself firing up this event just to enjoy the scenery, since when you're going for the record you better pay close attention to the "timing bars" at the bottom of the screen, making it hard to marvel at the sight of the soft snowfall, the mountain paralax scrolling etc. Snowboard rush: Probably the hardest subgame. To achieve good results you need great memorization- and reaction skills. Only the d-pad is used and you have to steer between the ports on the right side depending on their colours. All in flawless 3D. Freestyle: This is the only somewhat lacking event. After a few tries you've figured out which trick-combinations render the most points and from that point on you can always hit a perfect score (I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it's possible to score more than 45 points) having you just going through the motions. Ok, my intention was to write a short synopsis of every subgame, but I'll leave the rest for you to discover yourselves. You don't want me going all emotional about the graphics and challenge of the slalom and bobsleigh events too, hehe. It's pure quality through and through, leaving me hungry for more games utilizing Bjöern Sprucks magical extended colour-routine.

Has anyone received a copy yet? I got a mail from Lars Baumstark jan 26 where he said he'd be checking shipping costs for sweden within the next days, but I haven't heard from him since then, nor has he replied to my further mails. Strange.
