Hi Mark, I emailed you my feedback the other day, in which I said that I assumed the game would run better on a real Lynx than on the Handy emulator, but judging from what you said above, it doesn’t :D if I see it cheap I’ll still go for it, but I’m not rushing to add it to my collection…


Love the goggles, by the way!

No, I'm afraid it isn't any better on an actual console. That frame rate is baked into the ROM. 😞

 

BTW, thanks for your compliment about my eyewear...they're my swimming goggles :-)

Oh well, I’ve managed to source a fairy cheap cart now, I should have it by the weekend so I can experience the terrible frame rate on original hardware :D 

 

Well, they double as lovely driving goggles so when you get your midlife crisis convertible they’ll come in handy ;)

I bought my mid-life crisis convertible five years ago (2019 Mazda MX-5 Sport)...still drive it to work every day (I don't use the goggles, though) 🙂

Oh very nice indeed! Maybe you should start wearing the goggles, paired with some driving gloves…

 

Well, my order for Hard Drivin’ has been cancelled due to a stock mix-up so I may have dodged a bullet there. I’ll just have to put the money towards something else on the Lynx :)

I'm surprised at how apparently difficult it is to find Hard Drivin' these days; I can't imagine the demand is very high for it as there are many much better games for the Lynx out there at cheaper prices. But I'm basing my surprise at its rarity on the fact that I bought my copy of it seven years ago for probably less than $20. Too bad we can't go back in time...

 

...unless we drive a Delorean.

Yeah, it’s not that common here and I was quite happy to grab it for £20 boxed (until the store lost it) but I’ve now got Paperboy on the way to me so it’s fine :)

 

If I was a friend of Doc Brown I’d definitely be going back to stock up on retro stuff, and it would save me from looking longingly in my local CEX (UK retro computer store) at the Jag CD for £650…
