+FujiSkunk Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 No Kano, no sale. Okay, I'm kidding. This looks absolutely awesome. I shouldn't say surprising us with a video game bloodbath makes for a terrific Christmas present, but, it does. Thank you for this! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 On 12/8/2019 at 12:03 PM, solo/ng said: I dont want to make new topic, so will reply here. We did Mortal Kombat for the Lynx (Silly Venture 2019 event) and tryed to have it all: all framesanimations (from arcade), decent colors, voice samples, digital FX, music, parallaxes, shadows. I hope the result will make happy Lynx's fighting games fans. We have to fix few bugs, add the blood (to have all arcade stuff) and add comlink support (the engine already can play 2 player mode but we dont have comlynx support prroggrammed yet and sadly two Lynxes in real to test it. Will post video tomorrow and the .rom will be available december 24th (in two weeks) Absolutely amazing work. Is this going to be the biggest ROM released for the Lynx so far? Your version looks like not only will it blow away the Game Gear version, but even give the Genesis version a run for its money... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd32 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Gotta love the Amiga copper-like color effects on the backgrounds. And also the fact that you got parallax scrolling going on. How many colors are being displayed in average? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'll be repeating others here, but this looks absolutely fantastic. Well done. This is the kind of quality that had this game been released back in '93, I think it would have sold some Lynxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akira666 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Wow, that looks really awesome! I'm looking forward to the 24th. Thank you for giving yourself so much trouble. I would also like to buy the game as a module! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlynxalot Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Too bad the two sets of A and B buttons on the lynx can't be mapped to serve as 4 different buttons, that would be ideal for this game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 @solo/ng did you think about making original characters and not using the MK title in case you run into legal issues? It would be cool to see an original fighting game on the Lynx and I guess you can reuse the same engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people like things they already know so it's probable to draw more attention. Zaku was/(is) really impressive for selling massive amounts for being a Lynx game and using original characters. I've not thought much about why it is "everyone" (including me) wants to see games on the Lynx that we already can play on a hundred different systems and emulators. I think it might be that it's nice to see that your favorite system can pull off some favorite game, because you always "knew it could", and to play those games on your real favorite hardware. I used to dream of Sonic on the Lynx, and I've been thinking that Rainbow Islands would be fantastic for the Lynx. (It'd just be sooo much work trying to port big games like that, reading that not even 10% of gamers ever play through a game, that'd be like ten people on the Lynx). But yeah then there's the licensing issues. From what I've read and followed over the years it seems very rare that these greedy companies give out small licenses. They could try to follow their time a little bit, don't they want to be popular?? Then if someone makes an unauthorized physical release of some old game THEN they sometimes seem to care and pounce ? Still there's both examples of unauthorized releases that haven't gotten into trouble and those that have gotten licenses. For example, I would guess at least Mappy and Halo have been released for the Atari 2600 with license? Btw. didn't the Jaguar have some mortal kombat clone? Or even more than one? Clone-ish games can be pretty hit and miss too. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Like I looove Zippy the porcupine on Atari 2600, but a lot of those kind of clones feel a bit wrong, like "ALMOST Sonic... yay..."
