Battlezone Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Is this the only cartridge version? http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2013 Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 No. That that is the original German board they used on their Lynx games in the earlier 90s.They went to the ICD board in '96/'97 (Fat Bobby/Raiden) and another in '99 (Hyperdrome) and then to the Songbird board in '03 (Checkered Flag re-release and etc.) till '05/'06 (or so?) when Telegames stopped Lynx support.

bentper2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 what is the checkered flag re release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 As Telegames bought the rights to many (most/all?) of the released (unreleased too?) Lynx games they could make more,and so they did in '03. They re-released Checkered Flag,Zarlor Mercenary and Hyperdrome,to my recollection.It may've been up to 6 or so total,with Raiden,Fat Bobby and Super Off Road included. What was "Checkered Flag Re-release"?Same game as all the other re-releases were as originally released by Atari or Telegames except,on a new board and chip and usually in a CD case. Help any?

bentper2 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 ok so they did not improve the game? what about Zarlor Mercenary did they make an updated version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ok so they did not improve the game? what about Zarlor Mercenary did they make an updated version? No,no game update or improvement.Just a more modern looking chip,board and CD case instead of a Lynx box. Same goes for Zarlor Mercenary,just cosmetic changes,other re-releases were all the same way.

Atari Smeghead Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is this the only cartridge version? http://www.atariage....areLabelID=2013 Thanks! Technically, you won't find ANY Krazy Ace carts that look like the one in the picture. Allow me to explain... A couple of years ago, we did a "Definitive Cart Variation List" (which you can find here... ) http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/141573-the-definitive-lynx-cart-variation-list/ We came to the conclusion that we can only confirm one style of cart, and that one has a big plastic cover over the top of the chip. (Scroll down about half way on page one of the provided link to see it.) The one in the AA picture WAS one of those, but someone removed the cover. We believe there is a black PCB version, but during the lifespan of the thread, no one ever came forth saying they had one. Chris, did you ever participate in that thread? Seems like you would be a wealth of information on such a topic. Cheers, Smeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Chris has a VAST amount of knowledge. As long as he plays well with others (which I am sure he can do) It would be great if he did contribute on that thread. Although...I don't think any of us have seen a single picture from his collection over the years. I'm sure he has a great collection...share your knowledge with others . Could be a great contribution to the community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Being an only child,I didn't always fit into groups well... So I got really good at pinball and video arcade games and then handhelds and home consoles. Handhelds have been my passion since 1978 -- Lynx,Game Boy,Game Gear,Nomad,Turbo Express,Game Boy Color,Neo Geo Pocket Color,Game Boy Advance,PSP 1001/2001/3001/Go and now PS Vita. :wub: I may look that Lynx Cartridge Variation List over for kicks,not sure if I ever did or contributed to it before...

EricDeLee Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Chris... you are a pinball nut too? That's cool... I didn't know that. Do you have any pinballs at your house? I only have one right now but plan to get another one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 We believe there is a black PCB version, but during the lifespan of the thread, no one ever came forth saying they had one. I have it.

Chris, I think you fit into our group just fine! Any help you could give to that thread would be very much appreciated.

Check out this thread where I posted a picture of it: http://www.atariage....ost__p__2076190 I didn't know it was rare or anything orI would have mentioned it earlier. Well, look at that! They do exist! Thank you very much for pointing it out. I'm assuming that the black PCB you have there is the style that has the small square chip sticking out the back, am I right? (It looks similar to some of the other Telegames titles from that era, with the gold screws on the top.) I'm going to head over to that thread now and made the addition to the master list. Maybe you could also pop over there and see if you own anything else that we missed?

Maybe you could also pop over there and see if you own anything else that we missed? Yep it's the standard Telegames black PCB. IIRC I bought this when Telegames USA was having those Name Your Price sales. I'm not sure if I have anything else interesting. All my Telegames releases are those Black PCBs IIRC. Are you missing any more of those? BTW I HATE those labels. If they rub together the ink starts to rub off, as you can see in that picture. I have a few games like this where the labels look dirty because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you missing any more of those? BTW I HATE those labels. If they rub together the ink starts to rub off, as you can see in that picture. I have a few games like this where the labels look dirty because of this. From what I can see, I have all the other black PCB variants of the Telegames releases (though someone mentioned the possibility of a black PCB Checkered Flag and Lynx Casino, but no visual confirmation). If you have a minute, perhaps you ca peruse the big list and see if anything jumps out at you. In that other thread, you said, "Now I'm sure I have the full color label for Super Off Road." Are you referring to the curved lip cart, or a black PCB? I don't show a black PCB for that one, only the curved lip and a green PCB. I guess that's enough thread-hijacking for me. And yeah, those black-ink labels sure are cheap-looking. How much more could it have cost them to spring for the color labels?

EricDeLee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I thought I got the Lynx Casino Telegames version. I'll see if I can confirm that. CONFIRMED... Tempest...

chris_lynx1989 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Not sure if I've ever seen a curved lip Super Off Road... They probably made them too,as I have a curved lip Desert Strike and they made EPROM carts of it with the first run of them in '93.I'm thinking they may've had an EPROM release of QIX first too.

Oh, and the Definitive List has several variants of Desert Strike, but we've not confirmed any other Qix style except the regular curved lip.
