[What is the Best Atari Lynx Link Up Game?]

I've always found Rampage to be a load of fun with more than one player. I also like Rampart in conlynx.

[Worst game on the Lynx]

hmmm weird. I really love Kung Food I guess that makes me weird. Of course the game does have nostalgia for me. It was my first game. I played the heck out of it. And let's face it. At least its more fun to play than Batman... ugggh... MY worst though has got to be tournament cyberball.... just not playable for me. (of course i never claimed to be a good sports gamer)

[Lynx up]

Sure, can! I've played many hours of Rampart and Rampage with my brother. I have a lynx2 and he has a Lynx 1. Worked just fine for all the games we tried.

[Lynx Mortal Kombat 2]

lol

This gag is still running around? I mean really... Its been done. Try a new April fools

 

 

Although, it would be neat to have for real.

[Mark I Pouch]

Yes, indeed. the Mk1 pouch is bigger. I've had my Lynx 2 in it for 12 years and its worked nicely. You can store some earphones or comlynx cables in the top and save space in the front pouches for more games. I guess the Lynx may slide a little within the pouch if you tilt it back and forth, but I never found this to be a problem. (I always held mine upright)The Mk2 pouches almost seem too snug for the Lynx 2 in my honest opinion. So yeah, if you have a choice go with the MK1.

[Port C64 game to Lynx]

Wow, very exciting stuff. I still have a c64 and love the games on it. Makes me wish I had the know how and the time to be a programmer. All the great adventure games like Maniac Mansion and Zak McKraken could be all mine and portable on my lynx.... The only thing is getting a save function, which as I understand can add to the cost of developing a cart. Ah well, we can always dream. IF anyone out there is working on porting/rewriting these old games to Lynx, I applaud you and would buy them in a heartbeat.

[What's the deal with this Paperboy auction?]

wow... that is just crazy. I bought it brand new back in 91 for maybe $30.00. There has to be someone messing with the bids. I hate those type of bidders. You just know that they won't pay. I just hope someones not being duped into thinking the game is really rare

[Low Score Club: Worst score in Shanghai!]

which pattern were you using? I think that can make a difference on how quickly you can lose. It seems like some of the patterns I get stuck on earlier than others. I do worst on the dragon one usually.

[Lynx Reloaded - rare game - How do I get to the hidden game?]

Cool, Thanks. I'll be sure to bookmark that site. Lots of stuff there. Of course the US dollar is so weak that it would cost me quite a bit... ah well. Such is the life of a US lynxer with only protos and homebrews left to buy to complete my collection.

[Lynx Reloaded - rare game - How do I get to the hidden game?]

Atari Lynx Reloaded???? How did I never hear about this? What is it and where did you happen to get it? Most importantly... how would I get a copy?

[Has anyone heard anything about Distant Lands lately?]

Hi there,

Last I'd heard, its been postponed a bit. At least a year from now, possibly more. If you haven't checked out the Songbird site, you should. They do great stuff there to get games finished and out there for the lynx community. I'm with you on this game, I would really like to see it finished soon, but as the saying goes... good things come to those who wait. I'm sure it will be well worth it when it arrives.

[Lynx puzzle games r0xx0rz!]

Maybe once songbird puts out their version I'll pick it up. I played it on handy but not enough to get addicted yet.

[Best Comlynx Games]

I'd have to say my fav comlynxed game is Rampage. It can go up to 4 people (only had three so far, and that was plenty for me!) It can get very chaotic as the buildings go down much faster when several monsters are bashing stuff up. Not very thought provoking, but if mindless mayhem is your thing, or competing for high scores then this is a game for you. Oh yeah and you can completely ignore the game and just try to beat the snot out of your fellow players. Always a fun diversion.

[Count me in]

I'll agree about Raiden. I have the SNES version (raiden trad) and this translation is much more difficult, but the graphics are really top notch for lynx. very nearly as good as my snes version. lack of soundtrack is a little annoying, but otherwise its a wonderful game. Oh yeah, its been said before, but get the first powerup at any cost. even if you have to die once. It makes the rest of the game sooo much easier. oh and you have to get used to holding the lynx vertically, or learn to play raiden as a side scroller

[Complete Games vs. Just The Card]

Well, I guess I'm weird too because I have a box and instructions for every game I own except for 4 (which were given to me from a friend whose lynx broke) Which means something like 60-65 complete games. Its been a while since I've counted. It certainly takes up a lot of space though. I have 2 boxes full of games. I can see why just collecting the carts is preferable to most people.

[Which 'new' Lynx game would sell best?]

Distant lands!!!! I know its my most anticipated release. As for best selling... well I'd have to say Eye of the Beholder if it ever came out.

[Alpine Games in the United States!]

Finally ordered my copy today from Carl. Can't wait to get it. I hope I get it before my vacation. I'm going to want to play it on my 12 hour flight.

[Dracula the Undead]

I really liked Dracula. I got it for christmas this year and it was quite a challenge. The graphics are great although kinda monochrome. And the story is very cool. The only drawback (as mentioned before) is the lack of save feature. It was a little frustrating at first, but once you start getting further and further it becomes addictive.

[Best way to sell? Here's what I've got....]

Thats true. I've only bought 2 big lots and one was for lemmings(boxed) and the other was for Xenophobe(boxed). Some hard to find games might bring the price up in a big lot, but not as much as selling them seperate would. As a general rule though, you make better money selling things seperate on ebay.

Cheers, toughacton

[Songbird catalog update]

I agree, and since I just made my fortune on ebay. Ok well made some money... I'll be picking up this game. I think it is very admirable that there are those hobbyists out there that take time out of their normal lives to make these "after-market" games. As a die hard Lynx fan I'll support them by buying their games, even if it does cost a little more than a GBA game. Kudos to those game developers and keep em coming!

[Cyber Virus&Kung Food: First impressions]

I haven't played CyberVirus yet so I can't comment. However, Kung Food is one of my favs. I will agree that my one gripe is the same. Making contact with the bad guys is easy while hitting them can be really rough. I think that the story and uniqueness of this title is what makes it great. I mean its like attack of the killer tomatos and you get to fight back. The graphics are really bright and are entertaining to kids. I know because some young nephews of mine can't get enough of it. So for sophistication get ninja gaiden or double dragon. For just plain silly beat'em up fun get kung food.

[ALPINE GAMES IN EUROPE]

Awesome! Count me in! Give us a post when its available, I'm sure you'll get flooded with orders.

[Dracula walkthrough?]

Awesome! Thanks. I've been wandering around in that crypt forever.

[Dracula walkthrough?]

Hey I finally got this game this Christmas and its been fun but with no save option, I can only get so far before i pass out. Which leads me to my question... Where can I find a walkthrough to this game? I haven't had much success finding anything yet. I browsed through the AA site and didn't see one here. So if anyone knows, thanks!

[ALPINE GAMES RELEASE NEARS]

Well I have to say that I'll spring for it. The game looks excellent! Although, I would really like to know for sure if there is going to be a shortage. I mean I'll glady put my name on a list to purchase, but if its not going to be necessary... then why bother. I'd like to hear from songbird to see how many they really are planning on getting, because in all liklihood thats where ill get my copy.
