vanman Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 What is the best Lynx game and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serguei2 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Let me see: Ms. Pacman: because Ms Pacman was not available to Gameboy at this time. So I bought the Lynx and Ms. Pacman S.T.U.N. Runner: drive a car in 360 degrees. Steel Stalone: gread action /simulator for the lynx. Lemmings: good gameplay and good music Bill & Ted excellent adventure: You cannot die in this game.

Gregory DG Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Shanghai. I can play it over and over again and never get tired of it. And, you don't have to play for hours on end to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Unfortunately (or fortunately ) I cannot limit it to one game. My personal fav is Warbirds, especially multiplayer. It was the game that made me really want a Lynx back in the day. I've always been a sucker for well done dogfight games and Warbirds is very easy to control and lots of fun. Going head to head w/ other players can't be beat (It's also the reason I own 5 Lynxes). Awesome Golf is another title I couldn't do with out. It's still the best golf games I've played on any portable and it's better than a lot of console & computer golf games too. Xenophobe was a really good arcade conversion that I can play for hours. Lemmings is just like the original PC version and just as addictive. I could keep going, haven't even started on the puzzle or shooter games, but the four listed would be my must haves. At least for right now, if asked the same question a month from now the list might chantge a little bit but probably just to add more.

Emehr Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'll put in another vote in for Warbirds. It was also the reason I wanted a Lynx (ever since I saw the Lynx insert in EGM #28 (Nov '91)). Just recently I acquired a second working Lynx...10+ years later I can finally play multiplayer Warbirds! Woo! Can't just name one great Lynx game so I'll name a few... Klax (masterpiece) Chip's Challenge Steel Talons Ninja Gaiden (although my thumb wouldn't say so ) I also like Xybots and STUN Runner. Both are games I played in the arcade and both translated very well to the Lynx. Love that Xybots music...just wish the robot voices from the arcade would have made the transition.

Atariman Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 my favorite of all time (even though it can get a bit repetitive) is Rampage. I got hooked on the arcade game and this game was one of the only reasons I initially bought my lynx. I'd say that it's relatively true to the arcade version. I have yet to play it multiplayer, but I imagine that must be pretty good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I used to work with an ex-cargo pilot, and I would bring two Lynxes and two copies of Warbirds and we'd kill our entire lunch hour dogfighting. What I remember best was hearing the bullets hitting his plane on his Lynx's speakers, and him screaming "Where the hell are you firing from?", then hear his plane go down in flames. Man, I miss those lunchtimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanman Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 I like warbirds, espicially Multiplayer too. I also likie California games, the surfing was awesome and even better with a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I prefer the "thinking" style of games on the Lynx: Shanghai, Chip's Challenge, Klax, and Rampart. I usually use my Lynx when I have to go someplace and wait for awhile (like the Dr.'s office, hospital waiting room, airport, etc) and if I plug in any of these games the time just flies past. Action games like Ms. Pac, Scrapyard Dog, etc are fun and I enjoy them but I find myself totally absorbed in the the thinking games.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Xenophobe Rampage Cyber Virus (Plug for you there Carl!) Paperboy Shadow of the Beast (Though hard as hell and I can't get very far!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptik76 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'd say Roadblasters is my favorite Lynx game, because it's one of my favorite arcade games and the Lynx version is so darn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I pulled this link from the past which is interesting because some of the posters on this link posted their favorites back then: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...3781&highlight= The responses back then are similar to now. I am surprised Joust wasn't mentioned but there are so many good games for the Lynx that it is understandable. I will put in a vote for Xenophobe which is an awesome single player as well as multi. It is a game that actually improves on the arcade. Klax is THE definitive version on any platform. Shanghai is a great puzzler. Electrocop is the most overrated.

davidcalgary29 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I actually don't like either "Joust" or "Robotron" that much on the Lynx. "Joust" simply plays better on the 7800, 2600, and the home computers, and "Robotron" just crams in too much action on the Lynx's screen. I wouldn't call them "bad" at all -- I just wouldn't rank them at the top of the Lynx gaming heap. Best underrated game: "Loopz" Runner-up: "Chip's Challenge" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trnsfrguy Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I think Klax was the best game in my opinion.... Even though I couldn't put down Chip's Challenge for awhile.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughacton Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I'll put in my vote for Rampage. I've actually beaten the game (no easy feat I must say and it took forever) and its still loads of fun to play. Not to mention multiplayer is a blast. Close runners up are Shanghi and Lemmings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Maas Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I like Bill and Ted's excelent adventure, because I like to play adventure games and this one has hard puzzles and funny solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
