davidcalgary29 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Wonderful! Gates of Zendodon is an underrated side-scrolling shooter, Rampage and Blue Lightning are lots of fun, and as for Hard Drivin'...well, you've got the rest of the Lynx library to play and enjoy.

Songbird Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I liked Hard Drivin as well back in the day. It was sluggish but playable, and just downright impressive on a handheld in the early 1990s. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357335-bought-my-first-ever-lynx/#findComment-5357172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Welcome to the club! Crystal Mines 2 is the reason I got back into the Lynx after many years. It's still one of my favorite puzzle/action games of all times.. and still need to beat it 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357335-bought-my-first-ever-lynx/#findComment-5357263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the club. The Lynx port of Xenophobe is really good.

newtmonkey Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Nice! I hope you enjoy it. You've got some very good games there... I especially like Rampage on the Lynx. I got into the Lynx just a couple years ago, and I was pleasantly surprised with the nice screen (totally playable today imo) and game library. It's a system I think I would have been disappointed with back in the day (not a lot of side scrollers or RPGs), but I really appreciate it today. I think my favorite game on the system now is Toki, which looks, sounds, and plays great on the system.

Isgoed Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Yes, Rampart is much fun, even more in 2-player comlynx. Is is kind of addicting to repair -and more challenging, expand- your castle in the short time you're given between battles. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357335-bought-my-first-ever-lynx/#findComment-5358106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Did I miss out in not having a Lynx? Of course I had a 2600. I remember the 5200 being released, but it was too expensive. I bought someone's used 7800 when he was getting a Nes or maybe Snes. Then I bought a Jaguar and now the VCS. But I never had Lynx or XE. I still think lower priced ST conversions could have bought the Jag enough time for the Jag II to be released.

KrunchyTC Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I got in Chip's Challenge, and Crystal Mines II, both are great games! I'm currently waiting on Pac-Land, Off-Road, and Toki to arrive.
