+Sauron Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I actually haven't played the Lynx version, but the 7800 version is fun, if a bit repetitive with using the same two levels over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What's your opinion on this game? Is it any good? Should I get it? Yes, if you like Mario style games with lots of hidden stuff, level warps, inventory of gadgets, and own the Atari Lynx this is the game for you! The Lynx version BTW blows the 7800 version OUT OF THE WATER. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) I actually haven't played the Lynx version, but the 7800 version is fun, if a bit repetitive with using the same two levels over and over. I think they were trying to follow the theme of the likes of the first MARIO and ALEX KIDD where the type of world is constant, but the obstacles change. The game goes Junkyard Level -> City Level -> Sewer Level in every world. At the end, there is a factory level before the final challenge. The Lynx version BTW blows the 7800 version OUT OF THE WATER. Can you be a bit more specific? I've not played it either, and am curious about what they did to expand the later Lynx version.

TrekMD Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The Lynx version has many more levels (forest, city, etc) than the 7800 games, better sound, better graphics etc. I have both versions and have played both. Both are fun but the Lynx version is far superior given how much more developed it is as a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite often in their history, they didn't do much. How many levels does the Lynx version have in total? I think there are 17 on the 7800.

Gregory DG Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 ^^ I think there are 8 worlds with 4 levels each (for a total of 32.) I played SD to death when I first got it. Definitely an under appreciated title on the Lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Just chiming in to agree with the comments above; SD may not be (technically) the best game on the Lynx, but I think it's the most fun. The levels, the puzzles, the easter eggs and powerups? Love. It. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Does it have the same "special challenge" ending as on the 7800? God that ticked me off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfranklin Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 It was my uderstanding that this game was Atari's answer to Super Mario on NES. In comparison, this game falls short of that game. Serious Atari collectors (like myself) don't collect Atari games based on comparison, but love for the brand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Why did they make it impossible to clear this part of f***ing world 1-2?! At least I can beat Super Mario Bros.'s level 1-2. In fact, I can beat the whole Super Mario Bros. game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
