JohnnyBlaze Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Just thought you guys might want to download this: Atari Lynx Hint Book Digital Press' Library FINALLY uploaded something. Look at what it is! This was an internal Atari Lynx hint book that was never distributed. It was rescued from the trash by John Skruch himself, who also wrote a forward to the book. Worth the download if you're even remotely interested in the Lynx, as it has technical information for the system as well, as troubleshooters, specifications, and even hints on proper care!

buttertweet Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 A work of art, thanks for doing this! One addition to Gates of Zendocon, on the TRYX level there is a way to see the designers' faces. Stolen from various places online: "There is a secret bonus level that contains pictures of the Lynx designers and programmers and all the bonus weapons. At the beginning of level TRYXturn on your shields and fly through the bottom of the floor. On thedeviding portion where the tanks are on are sections that flicker red.Between the first square one and the next oval one is the spot. Thenfly about one ship's height above the bottom through the posts andunder the stalagtites. Enter the portal and there you go!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttertweet Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The cheat codes for Batman and Rampart are insane. Not sure what the programmers were thinking. Who in their right mind would want to press the buttons that many times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
