cthulhu Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 As many of you know, the Lynx has a lot of games that are extremely difficult. I was wondering what you all think are the most difficult ones. For me they are (at least from the ones I have): - Dirty Larry (1 life and no continues) - Batman Returns (again 1 life and no continues) - Gordo 106 Maybe I'm just crap at these.

Tempest Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Batman Returns by far. If you can get to the end with one life, no continues, and instant death drops everywhere then you're a better man than I. I also found Gauntlet III to be nearly impossible to get to the end. More of an endurance thing than overall difficulty though. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Raiden is extremely difficult and would get my vote as the most difficult that I've played. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but the secret to Batman is to just run past everything until you get to the bosses. I couldn't get anywhere in this game but my 10yo son played it the first time and went straight to the boss. Silly me for thinking you actually had to fight the bad guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 So you managed to finish the game? I also run like crazy the first level to the boss, but the second level is more difficult, so after a few tries I give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 The only way I could finish Batman Returns was using the cheat...the ending was one of the most horrible ever!!! I'm glad I never finished it the hard way (without cheat), I would have been really pissed off!!! Your right, Gauntlet III is also very tough.

geosteve Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I always had trouble with Zarlor Mercenary, you get so overwhealmed with dozens of those tiny enemies you don't have a chance unless you have the perfect spot to fire the pefect weapon, otherwise... you're dead!

The_Laird Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I've finished Zarlor Mercenary quite a few times, very cool game. My vote would probaly go to Toki but I am crap at platformers. Qix, STUN Runner and Ninja Gaiden 3 are pretty tough too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros2 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Raiden is really tough because there is simply not enough room to maneuver with your ship and all those kamikaze enemies firing bazillion bullets at you. The others mentioned are equally tough because of insane control issues. I would put Desert Strike in there too becasue after the first mission it is really hard to get through without runnning out of fuel or ammo. Throw in Shadow of the Beast which is without a doubt tougher than overcooked pork chops to getthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xubidoo Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 gauntlet isnt that bad tbh ,im no amazing gamer and i finished it yrs ago ,it did take approx 8 hrs to complete tho lol. never pld the lynx ver of shadow of the beast ,but if its anything like the Amiga version then itll be almost impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 The Shadow of the Beast series is notorious for being extremely difficult. Batman Returns is easy once you figure out how to "cheap" your way through each level. Dirty Larry is difficult only in how crappy the game is. Anyone who can manage to not throw the game down in disgust before reaching the end deserves a medal. As for my vote for toughest Lynx game, I'll have to stick with Shadow of the Beast.

cthulhu Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 What I can remember is that Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga was a lot more difficult. The Lynx version is very difficult, but not impossible, you just have to know where to go and what to do. To be very honest I have never finished it, but I did came very close. Toki is also quite tough, but even I finished it (I'm not the world's best gamer and always lose lives because I do stupid things). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I seem to be the only Lynx gamer together with my girlfriend (who also has a Lynx) who likes Dirty Larry. But then again, I also like Tournament Cyberball...maybe I'm insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were exactly my thoughts, until I was playing with a few Lynxfriends, for the sake of comlynxfun, and we were talking about difficult Lynxgames So one of the guys said, that Zarlor wasn't that hard at all I said, show us, and we started playing During the game, we all lost our lives, except him, he kept on playing, and beat the game, no sweat It took him about 20 - 30 mins to finish the game from start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what you all think are the most difficult ones.For me they are (at least from the ones I have): - Dirty Larry (1 life and no continues) - Batman Returns (again 1 life and no continues) - Gordo 106 Maybe I'm just crap at these. 896349[/snapback] I guess it's the same with all games. The more you play - the better you get. Gordo 106: I don't think this game is that difficult. I have played through the game all the way to the last level. Dirty Larry: I think many people just try this game a few times, thinks it's a horrible game and put it aside. I did just that. I always hated Dirty Larry. But yesterday I sat down and played it for one and a half hour. I still think this game isn't very good but....it's kind of fun anyway. Because every enemy appears at the same spot every time you can easily memorise each level. And the good thing is you play some levels more then once (like the subway and the first level.) And most of the time you just have to deal with one enemy at a time not a endless flow like in Batman. My vote for hardest game goes to: Shadow of the Beast.

SwedenLynxer Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I seem to be the only Lynx gamer together with my girlfriend (who also has a Lynx) who likes Dirty Larry. 897447[/snapback] cthulhu, maybe you can help me? I have big problems with the electric boss in the sewer. How do I defeat him?? He's to fast and easily avoids my gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Nope, I can't help you with that...I'm so bad with this game that I normally don't get past level 3 or something (I already said I'm crap with Dirty Larry, and I really meant it). Maybe I have to play it more often to get some more practice...haven't played it in a while. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Lee Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've finished Shadow Of The Beast on lynx and the end sucks : your guy get back to his human form then he run away, neverending, with a text on it the challenge is hard, but like Chtulhu said "you just have to know where to go and what to do" I've finished Rampage without cheating, it takes me a day to destroy the 60 towns... but at least, the end is cool !!! Batman is way too hard, i don't understand how the guys who've done games estimated that it would be nice if there's no continue in their games... from the game i own, i've never finished Toki, STUN Runner, Slime World (unless the 1st mission), Klax (i'm too slow !)

holygrailvideogames.com Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I would say that Raiden is the hardest game that I have played on the Lynx. It is much harder than versions for other systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcalgary29 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I would say that Raiden is the hardest game that I have played on the Lynx. It is much harder than versions for other systems. 939654[/snapback] It certainly is very difficult if you miss or fail to pick up any of the powerups. If you get the first two on the first level, though, it's pretty easy to finish the first level without losing a ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucienEn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I actually finished batman returns without cheats years ago. Yes it's pretty insane and sometimes unfair:-(. It is possible though... (not at every try) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton4life Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I didn't find Toki to be that hard. It's hard but compared to Batman Returns it's pretty easy. Hard Driving is tough too. I think the only people who play that one are those who were getting their driver's licenses when it was in the arcades like me. It was a good driving simulator for the time.

Grum Lee Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 but Toki is not as short as Batman Returns If Toki would have only 4 levels, i guess i have finished it years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumbaaj Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Kung Food- You cannot go left, only right. I always get killed from behind. It's kinda unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 This left/right thing is not what kills me, it's the "kitchenfloor" stage I find this section really difficult, and it takes some time to get to this stage, so I haven't really gave it a try since then It's a pity, because I personally think this game is not so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not supposed to be able to go left on "Kung Food"? So my Lynx isn't broken??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
