How many games did come out for the lynx??

[paul2900]

How many official games game out for the lynx? i dont mean homebrew or any games made after 94 or any demo's or even different variations of a game but just commercial in the shops and at the time the lynx was not DEAD.

 

I think from a list of games i have about 82 in total, that could include usa/europe and the rest of the world

 

Is Cybervirus a clasic game or a remake?

 

cheers...........cheeky ebayer/AKA paul29000

[The_Laird]

I have counted 77 that were actully released during the Lynx's comercial life. Remember some games were actully 'picked up' by people like Telegames ( Raiden, Fat Bobby etc.). Cybervirus by Songbird was orginally an un-released game by Beyond Games ( Battlewheels, Ultra Vortek, Mechtiles. . .) and uses the Battlewheels engine to produce a pretty slick first person shooter.

[paul2900]

Thanx for not holding a GRUDGE mr.kizza on that ebay thingy!!

 

Anyway 77 you say, i have 19 + alpine games so a little way to go yet.

Do you or anyone know of any lists of the games?

 

reguards.........paul

This criterion of "commercial lifespan" is awfully difficult to discern. Atari did, after all, release "Super Asteroids / Missile Command" in 1995, after the Lynx had been pulled from most store shelves. I would say that the Lynx ceased being a commercial entity in 1993, but that didn't stop Atari from continuing releasing titles for the system for the next two years.

 

In addition, at least one homebrew, "T-Tris", was released in 1992 as a commercial release. Does this mean that this is an "official game" because its release date overlapped that with the commercial viability of the system? And what about "P.I.T.S."? That one was never intended as a wide release, and yet it was sold in a professional package in the mid-'90s.

 

And it's also a shame to leave out the later Songbird titles and efforts like "Alpine Games", which supersede most of what Atari released in the early '90s.

 

 

In other words, IMO, if something is burned on a cart and sold to buyers, it's an "official" game (notwithstanding the pirate proto issue). People are, after all, still buying the things.

[paul2900]

You make a good point DAVID and alpine games is a fine game which i own, but if you look at the catalogue of 94 it showes most of the OFFICIAL games and what was "MENT" for the lynx at the time when the lynx was being sold in the shops.

 

All games since although made by telegames and songbird are surely then counted as homebrew!!! or mabey not but certanly not official titles of the lynx...

 

just my opinion!!!!!!!!

[The_Laird]

Right Paul here we go all 77 in roughly the order they were released:-

1. California Games, 2. Electrocop, 3. Chips Challenge, 4. Gates Of Zendocon, 5. Blue Lightning, 6. Gauntlet 3, 7. Rampage, 8. Slimeworld, 9. Xenophobe, 10. Klax, 11. Shanghai, 12. Robosquash, 13. Zarlor Mercenary, 14. Ms. Pacman, 15. Paperboy, 16. Roadbalsters, 17. Rygar, 18. Warbirds, 19. Checkered Flag, 20. Hard Drivin', 21. STUN Runner, 22. Scrapyard Dog, 23. Ishido, 24. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, 25. Steel Talons, 26. Awesome Golf, 27. A.P.B, 28. Pacland, 29. Ultimate Chess Challenge, 30. Qix, 31. Rampart, 32. Pinball Jam, 33. Awesome Golf, 34. Shadow Of The Beast, 35. Blockout, 36. Turbo Sub, 37. Viking Child, 38. Toki, 39, Crystal Mines 2, 40. Super Skweek, 41. Xybots, 42. Hockey, 43. Kung Food, 44. Ninja Gaiden, 45. Basketbrawl, 46. Batman Returns, 47. NFL Football, 48. Baseball Heroes, 49. Super Off Road, 50. Double Dragon, 51.World Class Soccer, 52. Robotron 2084, 53. Lemmings, 54. European Soccer Challenge, 55. Switchblade 2, 56. Power Factor, 57. Malibu Bikini Volleyball, 58. Baseball Heroes, 59. Dinolympics, 60. Steel Talons, 61. Lynx Casino, 62. Dirty Larry, 63. Pit-Fighter, 64. Hydra, 65. Krazy Ace, 66. Battlewheels, 67. Gordo 106, 68. Jimmy Connors' Tennis, 69. Desert Strike, 70. Joust, 71. Bubble Trouble, 72. Ninja Gaiden 73. Sper Off Road, 74. Fat Bobby, 75. Battlezone 2000, 76. Super Asteroids/ Missile Command, 77. Lynx Diagnostic.

 

While the last is not a game which really makes it 76 it was a tool that was available for the use of programmers throughout the Lynx's lfetime. Some might argue M.C/ Asteroids and Battlezone but they were available in the shops, i know i bought them. In fact right next to the Jag stuff in my local store.

[kuifje76]

I was waiting for a list like this, but:

 

26. Awesome Golf, 27. A.P.B, 28. Pacland, 29. Ultimate Chess Challenge, 30. Qix, 31. Rampart, 32. Pinball Jam, 33. Awesome Golf,

 

Did they put out twice awesomegolf, or did you miss one, or are there only 76?

 

Thanks

It looks like you still need Lynx Reloaded, Pokermania, Sokomania, and P.I.T.S.. All of these were commercial releases, so I think that it's fair to include them on any list.

 

I had a friendly dispute with chrislynx1999 a few months ago about the status of "Eye of the Beholder". There was a small run of carts for this game about a year ago, and they were sold and distributed to a small group of collectors (no, I wasn't one of them! ). I consider this to be a private pirate run, but Chris felt that this was a commercial release. I suppose that it is, like the game itself, in sort of a grey area.

[davidcalgary29]

Correction: just saw Sokomania on your list.

[kuifje76]

Yeah, nice list, but what I want to know is only the original, not homebrews, proto's, etc.

Can we make that list..?

[The_Laird]

When i wrote my list i didn't have my own list to hand, it was at home and i was on my work computer. It should have had Raiden and Hyperdrome on the end to make 77 + the Lynx diagnostic which isn't a game. And before anyone says they were both released by Telegames, even though they were Atari games they were picked up later, but they were featured in many Atari catalogues, appereared in magazine adverts and also some shops, 2 of my local games shops ( Software Plus and Silica in Debanhams had them as well as Jag titles that were released after the so called demise of Atari) so technically were not Homebrews.

[kuifje76]

I mean every game you could buy new, which was supported by atari, like ms. pacman, double dragon, etc.

I think you know what I mean, so not fat bobby, or alpine games (not they aren't good or nice, but U know.

[GrizzLee]

OK...

 

Where do I get Lynx Reloaded, Pokermania, and P.I.T.S.?

 

Never heard of these releases... well except maybe Lynx Reloaded... I forgot about that one. I guess I need to order it.

 

Who has Eye of the Beholder for sale? I could use that one as well.

 

 

BTW: I have been playing my Lynx alot lately. So much so, that my son has been asking about it. He has put his DS away and now wants his own Lynx.

 

-Lee

[sage]

OK...

Where do I get Lynx Reloaded, Pokermania, and P.I.T.S.?

 

PITS was only available directly from the authors... the same guy who is selling Alpine Games/T-Tris/SIMIS/Lynx Reloaded. You will find his adress on the Alpine Games order page http://www.duranik.com/.

 

I am not sure about Pokermania... I got it directly from MW.

[The_Laird]

Telegames were an official 3rd party developer for the Lynx and Fat Bobby was released well before Atari went under so was an 'official' release.

[YOK-dfa]

PITS was only available directly from the authors... the same guy who is selling Alpine Games/T-Tris/SIMIS/Lynx Reloaded. You will find his adress on the Alpine Games order pagehttp://www.duranik.com/

 

I think he now only sells reproduction boards with P.I.T.S. on it. If you want the complete package it originally came in -suitcase with lynx console, cartridge and some instructions books- your only chance would be Ebay. Needless to say these are extremely rare (i have it only seen once) and quite pricey, if i remember correctly it sold for around €200

[GrizzLee]

Thanks for the info. I gues I need to pay more attention to these boards.

 

-Lee

[Songbird]

Hi, Lee,

 

I have PokerMania in stock. I would have had some at CGE last August, but they didn't show up until the day after the show...

[davidcalgary29]

Thanks for the info. I gues I need to pay more attention to these boards.  

 

-Lee

 

Two more carts to add to the list:

 

"Loopz" (Songbird official release; some game elements improved)

"Alpine Games High Score Contest" (bonus elements; three awarded

by Duranik)

hello david,

 

 

i don't seem to remember ever talking to you about any of this a few

months ago,are you sure you have your facts straight?

i'm sorry you were not part of the group of collectors that managed to swing a copy of this (i wasn't one of them,either!) for their collection.some

people get all the breaks out there in atariland! i wish i had gotten a copy

of this for myself too. --the lynxer

I know I've asked this before but does anyone know where to get a LGSS cart?
