7800 Games Ported To The Lynx

[The_Laird]

As the Lynx and 7800 both share a 6502 and shared quite a few games early in their lives (Scrapyard Dog, Basketbrawl, Xenophobe, Pit-Fighter etc.) which of these original 7800 games (i.e. not arcade conversions) would you most liked to have seen made it to the Lynx as well. I haven't included any games that have something very similar on the Lynx like sports games or sequals. Or any light gun games. My vote has to go to NINJA GOLF!!!!

Tank Command--I'd like to be able to play it on the go.

I voted for Midnight Mutants, because it's my favorite 7800 game by far..... but after I voted, I thought how cool Ballblazer would be, comlynxed with 8 players...

I've always liked Tower Toppler, and it would probably be extremely easy to port because of the lynx's VDP structure, it's almost perfect for a game like that.

Your not wrong! That would really rock! Imagine that soundtrack on the Lynx too with a scaled playing field

I voted for Ballblazer because the game is the Sh!t! I would love to see this game on a hand held. I believe it was announced for the lynx but wasn't released, correct?

Not that I'm aware of. There is Hyperdrome though which is incredibly similar.

Its quite intresting that more people didn't vote for Summer Games given the huge success of California Games on the Lynx and the vast comlynx capability of a game like that. Its nice to see an original title like Midnight Mutants out in front though.

I voted for Motor psycho. I used to love that game, until my cart packed it up. In my opinion the lynx could never have enough good racing games. Trouble is not enough programmers, oh well.

Planet Smashers got my vote but I would have voted "All" well All except a few shitty ones that is..lol..

[okto]

I thought Alien Brigade was a lightgun game.

[Artlover]

Need more love for Ballblazer here folks.

[The_Laird]

I thought Alien Brigade was a lightgun game.

Can be played without one though. from what I remember (havn't played it for a while and certainly not without my 7800 gun!) which is why I included it, It could work without one on the Lynx I think.

[RickHarrisMaine]

I'd like to see more games available for the Lynx priced in the 7800 range! But I'd like to see Planet Smashers and Ballblazer too.

[ZylonBane]

Ballblazer, obviously.

 

I can't imagine why in the hell anyone would want to port the dreadful 7800 version of Karateka to the Lynx. And Planet Smashers? Please, it's just a bland, generic shooter. The Lynx has far better shooters of its own.

If you don't have anything to say don't say nothing at all!
