chris_lynx1989 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 At the time, I didn't realize it was hard to come by. I've had mine for years. Here is a grainy picture of mine, just so you can say you've seen one. Thanks,that's neat.Easier to store too,much better than those bulky EPROM carts!

chris_lynx1989 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Are you going after the PS Vita soon?I'm still debating, but I do like what I see so far. When they release that pinball arcade game with downloadable titles... I know I'll have to get it for sure then. Once they get Pinball Arcade online on PSN in Mar. and if I can't get it to use on my 3001/Go units then I'll grab a Vita and a 32GB stick for the 50/60 table arcade they're talking about.I'm on the fence too,I found using a Vita hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 What was "Checkered Flag Re-release"?Same game as all the other re-releases were as originally released by Atari or Telegames except,on a new board and chip and usually in a CD case. Help any? Warbirds, Lynx Casino and Checkered Flag was re-released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlezone Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 A store in my city sells two versions: the first version and the "long live the Lynx" version. I'm not sure which version I have to buy... As collector I prefer the first, as player I prefer the second. The first german version has the big plastic cover on both side.. but the cover prevents to insert the cartridge well adherent to Lynx cartridge slot. Sorry but it's difficult for me to explain that in english. I don't wanna risk to ruin or fold the Lynx contacts. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well,you do have to be careful with an exposed EPROM cart while inserting or removing it,especially on a Lynx 1 unit!A Lynx 2 can be a little hard too though. If you're not careful you'll possibly have a OWTF!! :o moment like a friend of mine had in '03 with his bare EPROM EotB cart. Yes,his EPROM broke right off his cart while taking it out of a Lynx 2! An EXPENSIVE accident. Luckily,he was able to solder it back on fine.The 1st & 3rd of KA are fine,man.The 2nd is questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlezone Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 so.. I will buy the long live version Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 so.. I will buy the long live lynx version Thanks The first style with the chip cover isn't a problem to remove,either.The Songbird version has the grip slot that helps and keeps you off that chip though. You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
