Probably not as many obstacles though. Obstacles like the Grim Reaper, tombstones, roaming dogs, etc. Speaking of which, perhaps you can use your podcast to settle a long standing debate: Is that guy break dancing or pulling on a pair of pants? Four Atari Fuji's out of five. Keep those batteries charged. Derek D.

Thanks! https://atarilynxhandycast.net/episode-22-paperboy/ I bought paperboy recently for the atari lynx and while it is a good port,but it does lacks the 2 player support from both the nes,gameboy and arcade version,wich i consider a bysmal,am mean why they didn’t added 2 player support in the lync is is absolute beyond me,theres was no excuse to leave that out on the lynx😡😡😡 another thing i will never understand is that while atari’s paper boy did appear on dozens of other systems including sega and nintendo systems,but it did at average not appear on the atari 2600,atari 5200 ans the atari 7800,and while i do know that atari pulled the plug from the atari 5200 in 1984, but what kind of bysmsl decision was that to not bring that game out for any atari 8bit system?? It only came out on atleast the atari st and atari lynx,am mean ,WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? damn am still surprised that the lynx version does lack two player support. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277394-the-atari-lynx-handycast-podcast/page/4/#findComment-5108665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Laser Lynx Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yeah, I've always been enjoying the HandyCasts too! It can be a bit disheartening with the low amount of feedback when you do stuff for a niche system within a niche hobby. I would say the situation has become even a bit worse since retro gaming has become increasingly popular. Feels like there's a hundred games a month coming out for the retro platforms at this point. I suppose there might be a degree of over-exposure now and it becomes impossible to keep up with it all. However, hopefully you will find the inspiration to continue with the HandyCast at some point. 😊👍 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277394-the-atari-lynx-handycast-podcast/page/4/#findComment-5115651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynxHandyCaster Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Finally spent some time today writing the outline for the latest episode of the HandyCast (EPISODE 23: A.P.B.-All Points Bulletin), which I had started writing almost two years ago (!!!). I'm picking up about halfway through the process, and I think I can finish writing it by the end of this weekend. Then I can gather the sound samples that I'll need, do the principle recording with Monty and me, then edit it, and then finally post it. It won't be in September as I had hoped, but definitely in early October. Thank you all for your patience as I finally get the gears started back up on getting new episodes of the HandyCast out. But until I get #23 out, just KEEP ON LYNXING!

+cubanismo Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit embarrassing now to admit it, but I was genuinely worried you had died @LynxHandyCaster. Don't get me wrong, take all the time you want getting the content out, and feel free to stop any time you want. I was just very concerned when there was no apparent update, even to say you were stepping away from the podcast for a while, after such regular postings, and it being a rough couple of years and all for everyone. Happy to see the new episode, but even happier to know you're still above ground! 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277394-the-atari-lynx-handycast-podcast/page/4/#findComment-5341154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Cubanismo, you can rest assured that I am still alive; maybe not kicking because of my bad knee, but still above ground. And I did post some updates on The Atari Lynx HandyCast Facebook page during the past 23 months, but I could have expanded those updates to other platforms, such as the Atari Age Lynx forums; sorry about that.

+cubanismo Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Finally finished the APB show. I have this game on my multi-cart but I never thought to try it. How was I supposed to know what APB stood for? I figured it was just some test ROM. After listening to the podcast, I gave it a try, as I have with so many games I ignored before, and it's awesome. This is going in my regular rotation. After a little practice, I got used to gripping my Lynx such that I could lay my thumb out horizontally across both the B and A buttons and get that siren blaring while maintaining full speed. On my 4th try, I even managed to capture the first "grungy gangster," and earned a total of $11,400! The game is pretty hard, but seems fair. I could see going on some epic runs once I got a bit better at driving and memorized more donut/gas station locations. I see I'm already past the deadline for Rygar feedback, and it's about bedtime, so I'm going to avoid throwing that one on at the moment. Regardless, very much looking forward to the next episode! 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277394-the-atari-lynx-handycast-podcast/page/4/#findComment-5359091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cubanismo Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Well I'm going to leave some Rygar thoughts anyway, just in case: This is a pretty fun game. I like the graphics, and the music is catchy, if a bit repetitive. I think I'm going to have it running through my head for days now. I found the game a bit slow to get going. It didn't really get challenging (for me) until the 4th or 5th level. The game has some nice touches though. The ropes you can climb, sway back and forth on, and still throw your shield are a cool gameplay variation, and very well done. Overall, I had some fun with this one for about an hour, but don't see myself coming back to it soon. There's just not enough substance to really pull me in and make me want to play "just one more time." My top score was 198,000 and change, at level 7. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277394-the-atari-lynx-handycast-podcast/page/4/#findComment-5366065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
