I'll throw my vote towards Alpine Games.

Alpine Games. My all-time favourite is the snow falling in Alpine Games.

Alpine Games hands down....

 

A good second choice for me would be Dracula...

not finished yet, but zaku's graphics are very nice.

I've only played two lynx games so I don't know...

of what I own, i would say Rampage, but i think the Lynx's graphical cabalities are somewhat scewed. Is the only reason why the Lynxs graphics are so good because of how big they are?? if that's the case then the lynx doesn't really have that great of graphics since the systems like the gameboy could have smaller more detailed sprites for their screen, at least in my opinion. I am going by rampage because the game doesn't play like any other system and i think the only reason the game looks so good is because everything is so large.

Definately Alpine Games. It's just amazing what Duranik got out of the Lynx.

Double Dragon does the same sort of thing in its conversion..

I'll simply disagree here. Resolution is certainly not the only issue that affects graphics quality, and the Lynx's hardware was simply superior to that in the Gameboy. Take a closer look at something like STUN Runner, with its amazing use of scaled sprites, the fine details of Lemmings, and the awesome technical achievement of Alpine Games, and then tell me that these wonders can be attributed to an illusion or trick of the eye.

I love the detail in Zarlor Mercenary - some of the levels in that game are pure eye-candy!

[EmOneGarand]

Alpine Games because it is one (if not the only game) to use high color which is incredible stuff.

[SwedenLynxer]

There are so many Lynx games with fantastic graphics. I agree with most peope here, Alpine Games really is something special.

 

I always loved the graphics in Shadow of the Beast and in Rygar. Beautiful landscapes.

Shadow of the Beast had fantastic parallax scrolling

i honestly dont own alpine games. i'll have to check it out. the other great thing about shadow is the sound and zooming...what a great title for its time.

Does Duranik still sell copies of Alpine Games? I've seen a video of it and it looked terrific!

Yes; I think it's also available at Songbird.

 

AG truly is spectacular. I don't like sports games myself, but the development team did an amazing job, and it's hard to believe that this game is running on a Lynx. My personal favourite is "snowboard rush" -- the details in that minigame are simply outstanding.

Wish I could vote for a game that I liked better, but Turbo Sub is my choice. I don't like shooters as a whole, but the graphics really impressed me. Great scaling and fast action, reminds me of the old arcade game Blaster...which I didn't like playing much either. Ah well.

You forgot the fact that "Lynx Reloaded" is the only other Lynx game to have and use Bjorn Spruck's "high color mode" graphics,not just Alpine Games.

From the movies and screen shots of Alpine Games, it does look like the best there is graphically, but out of the games I own I'd have to say that Battle Wheels and Cybervirus are also incredible with the 360 degree 3D worlds. Games like these three and many others make the Lynx look almost like a 32-bit portable system, it's amazing that it's 18 years old and is only a 16-bit graphics chip.

For some reason, I'm inclined to say Awesome Golf. Nice looking trees and stuff.

Thanks

But no surprise, its the same code.

In fact the CGE slideshow cartridge is using high color code, too. And here it is really "high" color. In alpine games for space reasons the picture are only up to 256 colors.

I had some other stuff in the pipeline, but no time to finish it... see examples on my webpage.

 

(only if your a BLL cable, a flash card or an eprom burner:)

Doesn't Push Around the World use "high" colour mode as well?
