Classic Pac Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Some of you might of seen a post I made more than a year ago where in I mentioned I had the 1992 Atari Lynx catalog the very one with Batman Returns on the cover. Which I recieved in a very strange way, it all goes back to 1992 when I took a good friend down to the 'Taste of Chicago'. Which by the way is a big food fest the city of Chicago runs right around the 4th of July. It was as we were walking around we came across an Atari Tent where in they had Lynxs for people the play. But they were also having power problems, it also seemed that part of downtown was in the midst of a blackout. It was while we waited more than 1 hour as I recall. That I began to talk to one of Atari's reps about the Lynx and other Atari products. It seemed Atari's own reps did not have much hope for the Lynx. Mainly the same problems we all talk about, battery life and quality of games, etc.. As well as the rest of Atari's line, but it was because of my chat, that I first heard about this catalog, and tried to convince the rep to give me one. Instead of waiting until I was able to play the Lynx, it seemed after which then they were suppose to be handed out and not before. But they did not know when the power was to be restored, so he (the rep) gave me a challenge, I had to name the same games that appear on any Atari home console that also appear on the NES. It was a snap, but since that post I arranged to send some scans to Albert. Since I am on dial up they had to be sent on CD via the mail, simply due to file size. But as I said that was almost a year ago, I messaged him a few months back and Albert said he was still working on it. I don't know about you, but I am tried of waiting to them to be posted. So I decided to post them here by myself. These are in low res only 150 dpi color and highly compressed jpeg. You see I am on dial up and had to make it easy for myself to upload to this forum. But to anyone interested in a High Res scan 600 dpi or better in Tif, not jpeg PM me. Sorry that they are not all there right now, as this is taking a long time for me the rest will be posted tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitch Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Cool, thx. Never actually seen a full size Lynx catalog before, just the little pamphlet ones. One thing that I thought was interesting is that it lists Lynx Hockey & Blood & Guts Hockey as separate games. I was under the impression that Blood & Guts was renamed simply to Hockey but apparently they were 2 separate games. It's also interesting to see the games that they were advertising that never came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blur2040 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Haha, check out the screenshots for Cabal and Ninja Gaiden. I'm pretty sure they're from the NES version. Also, check out the Ninja Gaiden box...notice any familiar logos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
