Authentic printed boxes for Songbird Lynx games

[PFG 9000]

Does it have anything to do with the Pacman-looking guy on the back of the Loopz box?

Champ Rally and Lexis are the ones in particular I was thinking of. I guess there is another Easter egg on the Ponx box, but that one I did not print (yet). The other boxes just have visual touches to tie each box into the game... things like the final boss ship appearing on the back of the Remnant box, MegaPak mentioning there is a hidden game (but not providing clues to how to find it), and so on.

 

The Loopz bonus games are similar to other versions of Loopz, where you can either achieve a certain score or clear a certain size loop to enter the bonus rounds.

Well, the way you incorporated the code for the bonus game in the description for Lexis is brilliant. And all the art on the boxes is outstanding.

Glad you are enjoying them. The hidden game in Lexis is neat enough that I wanted to put the code hint directly on the box, so someone who has just that could still reasonably guess the code. In fact, someday I hope to extract that game and add f/x and music to it to make it even neater...

Wouldn't mind getting a box for my MegaPak cartridge.

Left Right Left Right Down Up Option 1 Option 2 - that's obvious enough but is it from the title screen. I can't get this to work Horizontally or Vertically. Oh I have it on the black Long Live the Lynx style cart - does that make a difference?

Hold the Lynx vertically, since that is how Lexis is played. On the Table of Contents screen, enter the L R L R D U 1 2 code sequence, then start the Pages game. The Pages game will start but after completing the first word, it say you've beaten Lexis, reveal the code, then it will jump to the bonus game.

 

The code works on all Lexis carts. You do have to enter the code fairly quickly, otherwise I think the code detection resets.
