roadrunner Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Is Lynx BMX the best version of CG BMX ever made? I say yes. What do you say? I only played 2 versions of California Games the 2600 and Lynx. How many versions are there? Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Apple IIGS, Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, MSX, NES, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Master System, ZX Spectrum, Virtual Console, PlayStation Network WOW, that's alot of versions.

For instance I've played C64 California games and though, yes, it's still California Games, it plays completely differently than Lynx. The Lynx version is much faster and more spectacular, if also much simpler in terms of design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I tripped over my penis this morning. You did even better than your score from last week. Congrats on breaking the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 you made 214 without getting to the finish?? I can reach over 214 in the first 10-12 seconds with only 4 button presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 you made 214 without getting to the finish?? Yeah, you gotta keep doing those flips. The toughest part for me is that big drop downhill. It would be cool if someone made a map of this course. I remember in the 2600 HSC a few years ago someone made a map for Skateboardin' Yes would love to see someone make a map.

PFG 9000 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Billy, you should post a video or a guide. I've been playing this game like mad the last few days and the best I've done so far is 607. I have yet to do a forward flip. I understand it's possible, and I've seen a youtube video on it, but I can't figure out how to time it right to get it to work. Your score is fantastic, needless to say. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Wish I knew of an easy way to record the video so I can show you some of my routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've managed to do a couple forward flips now, but I still can't do them consistently. I love how this HSC gets me back into these old Lynx games though. Without this, I wouldn't play these games nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_afternoon Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 220. Only. Almost embarrassed to post I know I was better in late 2010 and will certainly try again, this is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 I didn't ruin it for everybody, did I? Naw, i've been playing some other games. I did try out the C64 version of California Games, I like Roller Skating, it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm still working on it. I've cracked the 700 mark, but I'm still trying to do those forward rolls consistently. I didn't want to post an updated score when I'll probably top it again in a few more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I thought loopy wanted to play this game. He posted a score for it last month in an old thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 About a week left to get those scores in before we play Pinball Jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 952 Not quite enough to top Billy, but it's the best I can do. I've definitely played more games for this month's competition than for any before. I'm sure I've played at least 300 games of BMX to get that stupid score, and it's still not enough for the all-time record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
