SwedenLynxer Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 2004 was a great Lynx year (the best in 10 years or so...) with the release of the amazing Alpine Games, along with Pokermania and Loopz. Do you think there will be any games released on cart this year?? If so, which game do you think is most likely to be the next game released? I know there is numerous project being worked on.

K_Lewin Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Guess we're still all waiting for Distant Lands, which simply looks so great! I think it's still scheduled for 2005 on the official website of Songbird Production so let's cross fingers and hope for a release this year!

davidcalgary29 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 What happened to "Eye of the beholder" ? 866625[/snapback] Chances for an official release are essentially nil. I believe that Tempest said that he'd dump this one for general circulation, and of course Harry does have that demo on his website. I'd say that Relief Pitcher will probably be the next cart release, though I'm still waiting for Push Around the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blur2040 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Am I the only one who thinks a port of Space Harrier for Lynx would be amazing? I mean...it scales! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidcalgary29 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'd also really like to see Lemmings 2, although the title would, of course, have to be changed. Hmm...does anyone have the original coder's address? I once had the end credits (containing said address) printed out, but I seem to have misplaced that.

Nubian Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hey All, I'm also curious if DISTANT LANDS will ever be released. The idea of an RPG on the Lynx really appeals to me and I'm sure heaps of people and wondering what has happened to this game. Regards, Nubian.

Songbird Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Unfortunately progress on Distant Lands has been very slow... part of that is due to real life, and part is due to RPGs being such complex games to make (as opposed to something simple like Ponx). I haven't even been able to find time to work on Ultravore yet, even though that game is over 50% complete. Having said all that, there are definitely some talented people in the Lynx scene, and I hope we see some new cart games released in the next 6-12 months.

oesii Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'm mostly waiting for Relief Pitcher, would love to see how that plays on the Lynx. It looks great. Lemmings 2 sounds very intersting and could possibly sell a record number of homebrew carts (after you change the name of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Tempest said that he'd dump this one for general circulation, and of course Harry does have that demo on his website. I have the rom image, but the cart is special. It's a 512K cart with a built in memory for saving games. From what I understand, this doesn't work in emulators. I also have no idea how it could be mass produced, since I don't think any other Lynx game uses this odd confiiguration. But since I really don't want to have any legal dealings with WotC, reproductions are not going to happen... I'll post the rom later tonight if I can.

A picture of the cart pcb (both sides) and the labels on the chips would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How is the Mystery Lynx Project coming along? Not as fast as I'd like... but that's because I'm working on another Mystery Project this summer. And to distract myself even more, the annual Mini-game Competition has got me thinking about two different ideas for small, fun, and original arcade-style games. If only there were 5 of me to get all these projects finished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugxulo Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Didn't you just have another kid? Hey, it doesn't hurt to think ahead for the future (Songbird and Son Productions).

Songbird Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, we had our third child (our first girl!) back in October, so she's just over 9 months old. Kids are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks for the info! I hope more news about those mystery projects will be revealed soon. The more projects the better I guess. And maybe the same goes for children - The more the better! Don't have any kids myself yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drop him an email and see if he'll come to the lynx forum. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agradeneu Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Would be awesome to have Duranik's support for Distant Lands artwork and gfx. Didn't they played with the idea of making an adventure game for Lynx? Lemmings 2 and Bomberman would be both awesome. Though the Lynx community is very small its gifted with some great talents, supporting it with excellent software for another decade.
