Damon Plus Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) I´ve made a list of games and the year they were released (stopping at 1994 with Super Asteroids/Missile Command). 1989 (6) Blue Lightning California Games Chip´s Challenge Electrocop Gates of Zendocon Gauntlet 3 1990 (16) APB Block Out Crystal Mines 2 Klax NFL Football Ms. Pac-Man Ninja Gaiden Paperboy Roadblasters Robosquash Rygar Shangai Tods adventures in Slime World Toki Warbirds Xenophobe Zarlor Mercenary 1991 (19) Awesome Golf Baseball Heroes Bill and Ted´s Excelent Checkered Flag Dracula Fidelity Ultimate Chess Ishido Pac-Land Qix Rampage Rampart Robotron 2084 Scrapyard Dog Steel Talons S.T.U.N Runner Super Skweek Tournament Cyberball 2072 Turbo Sub Viking Child Xybots 1992 (14) Basketbrawl Batman Returns Dynolimpics Dirty larry Hockey Hydra Kung Food Lynx Casino Pinball Jam Pit Fighter Power Factor Shadow of the Beast Switchblade 2 World Class Soccer 1993 (11) Batllewheels Desert Strike Double Dragon European Soccer Gordo 106 Hard Drivin Jimmy Connors Tennis Joust Lemmings Malibu Bikini Volleyball Ninja Gaiden 3 Super Off Road 1994 (1) Battlezone 2000 Super Asteroids and Missile Command I think it´s pretty accurate, but there might be one mistake or two. Looking at it, which one do you think was the best and worst game for the Lynx? Best: 1990, I think. Such good games like Klax, Ninja Gaiden, Slime World, APB, Paperboy, Toki and Warbirds were released, and it also had the biggest number of games released. 1989 and 1991 are close though. Worst: Not counting 1994 (it wouldn´t be fair), the worst year has to be 1992. Just look at the release list. Basketbrawl? Dirty Larry? Kung Food? Pit Fighter? Power Factor? World Class Soccer?

+madman Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Definitely a toss up between 90 and 91 for best year. Man, I love the Lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in the dark Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hmmm...... I don't see Stun Runner in there any where. Maybe I am blind and missed it. What year did it come out in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Plus Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Oh man, why am I forgetting that game again and again? It came out in 1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcalgary29 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Why not open up this list to every year that there has been a commercial release for the Lynx? Telegames did, after all, release several games in 1996-7, Songbird has several excellent latter-day products, and the amazing Alpine Games -- surely the greatest technical achievement on the Lynx (so far) -- popped out just a little over two years ago.

SwedenLynxer Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 You also forgot: Ms. Pac-Man (1990) and Super off Road (1993) And as you include Super Asteroids/Missile Command you really should add Battlezone 2000 aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I made the list considering only the years that Atari supported the system. If anyone can give me a list of 1995-96-97 releases, they´ll be included too, but nothing newer than that.

But what about Loopz? This started off as an Atari project, was available for several years as an unreleased proto, and then was properly licensed, cleaned up, and given a belated commercial release by Carl two years ago. And if you're going to include T-Tris, you should include P.I.T.S., which remains the most unusual commercial release for any hand-held gaming system that I've ever seen.

Damon Plus Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 That´s why I didn´t want to include anything beyond 1994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
