Atari Smeghead Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Okay, you'll have to forgive me. I'm having trouble even describing what I need, let alone being able to search for it... but it's probably already here on AA somewhere. I'm trying to ascertain the number of Lynx titles that were released before Atari abandoned the system. It's a tricky one, since some of the Telegames titles (Bubble Trouble, Krazy Ace mini Golf, Fat Bobby, Hyperdrome, Raiden) seem to fall in gray areas. I removed those titles from this list, under the assumption they came out in 1995 or after. I've come up with 71 titles released before "the end" in 1994. A.P.B. ....1990 Awesome Golf.....1991 Baseball Heroes...1991 Basketbrawl...1992 Batman Returns...1992 BattleWheels...1993 Battlezone 2000...1994 Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure...1991 Block Out...1990 Blue Lightning...1989 California Games...1989 Checkered Flag...1991 Chip's Challenge...1989 Crystal Mines II...1990 Desert Strike...1993 Dinolympics...1992 Dirty Larry: Renegade Cop...1992 Double Dragon...1993 Dracula the Undead...1991 Electrocop...1989 Euro Soccer Challenge...1993 Fidelity Ultimate Chess Challenge...1991 Gates of Zendocon...1989 Gauntlet: The Third Encounter...1989 Gordo 106...1993 Hard Drivin'...1993 Hockey...1992 Hydra...1992 Ishido: The Way of the Stones...1991 Jimmy Connors Tennis...1993 Joust...1993 Klax...1990 Kung Food...1992 Lemmings...1993 Lynx Casino...1992 Malibu Bikini Volleyball...1993 Ms. Pacman...1990 NFL Football...1990 Ninja Gaiden...1990 Ninja Gaiden III...1993 Pac-Land...1991 Paperboy...1990 Pinball Jam...1992 Pit-Fighter...1992 Power Factor...1992 Qix...1991 Rampage...1991 Rampart...1991 RoadBlasters...1990 Robo-Squash...1990 Robotron: 2084...1991 Rygar...1990 Scrapyard Dog...1991 Shadow of the Beast...1992 Shanghai...1990 Steel Talons...1991 S.T.U.N. Runner...1991 Super Asteroids/Missile Command...1994 Super Off-Road...1993 Super Skweek...1991 Switchblade II...1992 Todd's Adventure in Slime World...1990 Toki...1990 Tournament Cyberball 2072...1991 Turbo Sub...1991 Viking Child...1991 Warbirds...1990 World Class Fussball/Soccer...1992 Xenophobe...1990 Xybots...1991 Zarlor Mercenary...1990 6.....1989 17...1990 20...1991 14...1992 12...1993 2.....1994 How does that jibe with what you know?

Damon Plus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Maybe this will help you: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...235&hl=year My list is lacking Baseball Heroes and other one I haven't found yet.

SwedenLynxer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I've come up with 73 titles released before "the end" in 1993. Although Krazy Ace Minature Golf has a copyright date saying 1993 on the box, the game was not actually released until 1995 AFAIK. And the last two Atari-released titles Battlezone 2000 and Super Asteroids/Missile Command was of course post-1993. Also I think you should remove Bubble Trouble from that list Edited August 11, 2009 by SwedenLynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Maybe this will help you: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...235&hl=year Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks. I've come up with 73 titles released before "the end" in 1993. Although Krazy Ace Minature Golf has a copyright date saying 1993 on the box, the game was not actually released until 1995 AFAIK. And the last two Atari-released titles Battlezone 2000 and Super Asteroids/Missile Command was of course post-1993. Also I think you should remove Bubble Trouble from that list Upon using Damon's year-by-year post (and your input, pushing the final year to 1994), I come up with 71 titles. (I'll change the 1st post, if Albert will allow it.) Also, on a semi-related subject, this must mean that the Lynx was abandoned by Atari in 1994. I had assumed it was 1993, by this statement in AA's Lynx history: ...by 1993 they ceased marketing it and focused on their new console, the Jaguar. But I guess the end of marketing doesn't necessarily mark the end of production, since they clearly had games in development they still released. But is it safe to say that 1994 was the last of the official, in-the-lifespan Lynx game releases? Meaning, you wouldn't count Krazy Ace or Bubble Trouble on this list, right?

Tom-Lynx Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I had a complete list once... I thought it was something more like 89? I'm talking about all public Lynx game releases, not just Atari's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I thought Super Asteroids/Missile Command was released in 1995. At least that's what the AA database says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 I had a complete list once... I thought it was something more like 89? I'm talking about all public Lynx game releases, not just Atari's. Remember, I'm only talking about the games that were released before the end of the Lynx's run in 1994/95. If you see any games missing off the list above, let me know! I thought Super Asteroids/Missile Command was released in 1995. At least that's what the AA database says. Y'know, I spent all sorts of time trying to find any mention of a year on the AA list. I finally found it, by looking at the production companies. On that list, Battlezone 2000 also came out in 95. In fact, I see that many of the dates listed on AA differ from Damon's list. Unless Damon feels his list is more accurate than AAs, I'll probably change the dates to match AA. Damon, where did you get your info? Thanks, everyone! Smeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) According to AA, Krazy Ace Mini Golf came out in 1993 (and the title screen shows 1992) so it clearly came out before the end. Also, Bubble Trouble came out in 1994, according to AA. The title screen has 1993 copyright date. So, I suppose that one also came out before the end. Unless anyone objects, I'll make that change tomorrow. Cheers, Smeg Edited August 12, 2009 by Atari Smeghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeg Well, my list is taken from the rom set directly (every rom had the year in its name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I can tell you now that I saw Krazy Ace in many shops over here while the Lynx was still being sold comercially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
