+jgkspsx Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Say there. Your Lynx and/Lynx emulator misses you and would love for you to join the new Lynx High Score Challenge season! We are awarding new player ranking points so that you start with a little bit of a boost, so don’t feel intimidated taking on long time HSC players. (Most of us aren’t even that great, myself included!) We are starting the season with a doubleheader of Robotron 2084 and the brand new beta of Microvaders, coming later this year (?) from Songbird. You can join the fun here! If there is anything you would like to play in this year’s competition, please let me know in this thread! You get bonus points for suggestions too. I am especially interested in recent homebrew games with a score that can’t be maxxed out. I know some people don’t care about competitive play. I don’t really play to win myself. But here is my pitch: pushing yourself to do better in a game often means coming to understand how the developers wanted you to play it, which leads to appreciating games more and having more fun with them. In my seasons with the Atari 2600, Lynx, and Jaguar HSCs and my various other HSCs, I have developed love and/or appreciation for games I never liked or even had a basic understanding of. So even if you don’t care if you win, it will help you appreciate your collection and our favorite platform a lot more, and you may even win some new favorites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Will give it a shot again, I tend to get distracted though. Great games to start the competition with! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first round is wrapping up on Tuesday, but you can still submit scores up until near the end of the season if you missed it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
