drludos Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Ouch, if I'm the one who posted it too early, I'm very sorry about spoiling it :(. As the game ROMS were all available online on Atari Gamer from the contest page, I thought it was "it" and eagerly tried all the games and posted mine on this forum too. I haven't posted the link any besides this forum, so I'll wait your signal before posting it on Twitter. I had a quick run over all the entries, and I'm very impressed by the quality and variety of them. Congrats everyone on the work done, and good luck for the last steps this week! The Lynx couldn't have wished for a best birthday present! Edited September 1, 2019 by drludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) I'm quite disappointed with the spoilers and the links going out early, then people complaining that they need instructions. This is why I've not shared it all publicly yet. Oh well looks like I will announce shortly. As a plus I guess some bugs in the website have been found that are to do with pre-published content! ?

Igor Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 The official page is up - https://atarigamer.com/pages/celebrating-atari-lynx-30th-birthday I'm waiting for @Albert to update the settings on the club I've created so people can comment on the games. If you find any issues with the game listings or any or problems please let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the last thing, you uploaded an old version without the 2player mode on same console, but I sent you a new version the laste day (in the same mail with nutmeg that you received because the nutmeg version is correct). Anyway soon you'll have the updated version of 4ttude with new gfx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks @Albert. Thanks @Nop90 I was wondering why there were 2 ROMs in the last zip ? Uploaded the correct ROM and updated game info now. I assume you meant 128b EEPROM size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 I've put this together to convert LNX and BLL files to LYX format - https://atarigamer.com/lynx/lnx2lyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladR Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Since literally more than 90% of my effort went into creating Lynx's 3D engine, very little time was devoted to creating gameplay - hence Undergrounders is extremely crude in the gameplay department (but, it can be played and finished). Last-minute improvements broke the import of 3D art assets, so the level "design" suffered a lot too. With upcoming PRGE (~5 weeks to go), I needed to address most important missing features for my Jaguar game as soon as possible, so I made a decision to sacrifice improving gameplay to the Undergrounders on Lynx and postpone that effort till I implement the most crucial elements for jag. After a week of work on jag, I feel I should be able to finish the jag build sooner and spend at least a week on the Lynx game, prior to the PRGE, but it's still too early to tell. Regardless, I'm extremely happy with the 6502 quad rasterizer I produced for this compo, as that can be instantly ported to Atari 800 (it's all SW rasterizing anyway) and serve as a platform for all my future Lynx production. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 @VladR making innovations on a schedule is something that never works for me. You made a release on time and it works! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Indeed, congrats, it's amazing you've been able to make an engine like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 @necrocia found a little problem on atarigamer site. Seems your site responds to both addresses www.atarigamer.com and atarigamer.com, but from the second one the online emulator can't start the rom from your online collection (I bet a problem of relative path of the server side roms phisical directory). The bad thing is that the www.atarigamer.com has some links to the version without the www (e.g. the top left lynx logo and the images of the games in the competition), that can cofuse the visitors, expecially people that want to try the new games.

+karri Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 For some reason my Chrome browser in Ubuntu Disco looks like this now: The screen used to be on the Lynx. This changed some time ago. Perhaps a week or two ago. Firefox works ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have collected the labels seen in this thread to get them printed at a local photo shop on glossy adhesive photo paper. Unfortunately I am still missing cart labels for 4 games (Lynx Quest, Sky Rider, The Inside World and Undergrounders). The last 4 would fit on a 15cm by 10cm sheet. The first set of 8 games goes on 15cm by 20cm sheet (4TTude is there twice as I may want to ComLynx it). If I print only one set (12 labels) it costs me €15. If I print 10 a set costs €8. For 20 sets the price is €6. Posting a set worldwide costs €2. Any takers? This is just the labels - nothing more. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Very nice. I wouldn't mind getting a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
