elmillortoni Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) BTW, I can see Dynablaster in one of LX.NET's pictures. That really stuns me, I love this game. Is it a demo, is it playable? Edited February 11, 2014 by elmillortoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald_Bull_jr Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm not much of a Lynx guy these days, but I find this all very interesting. I had a Lynx and a small pile of games around 20 years ago, and loved it dearly ...... Does that one homebrew/proto/whatever have the Marlboro cig logo on it? Whaaaaa? Is it a 'smoking sim'?

108 Stars Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Once again sadly showing sage's point why open development on the Lynx seems to be impossible. As long as a single bootleg is sold of such a beta, it's still one too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I was rummaging around my carts tonight, and note that I have two curved lip Telegames variants: Fidelity Ultimate Chess has the Fuji on the back and semi-translucent backing, and Desert Strike lacks the Fuji and isn't semi-transparent. The rest of my carts aren't at hand -- does anyone have any carts like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I will take a look tomorrow or the day after. Do you have pictures for comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I also found some more variations of previous ones. One Desert Strike variation in my own collection (black TSOP PCB) and a green PCB Raiden. th_IMG_0010-1.jpg Hi LX.NET I wonder if you'd be kind enough to scan your raiden cd insert and cart sticker for me???? In my picture here my Raiden has no sticker at all (compared with CM2BT which is how I'd like the sticker to look)- and I'd really like to make up the CD case too. Thanks in anticipation!

GadgetUK Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Both my Double Dragon and Desert Strike are curved lip original type carts, both with Fuji logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I will do the scanning this weekend. Occupied with work till end of the week. Hold on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks lx.net that's really kind of you.. I'm looking forward to it. No rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I really need to dig through my Lynx collection and see what variations I have. I may have something interesting (I'm pretty sure that white labeled Krazy Ace pictured earlier in the thread is mine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ok here's my effort - just the carts as the boxes/instructions are in another location. Although I found a pic of my Bouble Trouble case. You will see that desert strike and Chess don't have the logo on the back in the plastic. Generally I can see that the plastic used for telegames releases is a different compound to the regular types. Then there's the PCBs. Mini Golf has a cover on both sides meaning it'll only fit in the model one lynx and I await some scans from lx.net for Raiden ... as I have no stickers for it.

Guitari Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oops I do also have Qix. Sorry forgot that one. Happy to take a photo if anyone needs to see it. I just wonder...my Raiden that doesn't have a case or stickers..could it be a repro not from Telegames directly? Something funny happened with this a few years ago whereby I had a version that didn't work and I think it was more like my Bouble Trouble cart design and someone offered to swap with a working copy which I duly did. Perhaps this working copy I have is a repro. Thoughts anyone? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorfarius Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I picked up Desert Strike this week as I was told they were just getting some in stock. Wasn't impressed with the manual quality its a rushed printed version where the image isn't even lined up plus its on cheap A4 paper cut up and a few staples. Paid £64 for this and I certainly won't be buying anymore: Edited April 26, 2014 by Lorfarius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 For that price you would have been better ordering from Best Elecronics in the US! I got Desert Strike for something like £30 there - in original style box (new unsold stock) with proper curved lip cart etc. Downside is you get stung for import taxes etc. I ordered a load of stuff at the same time (Pacland, new control ribbons etc) so it worked out OK.

LX.NET Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Guitari, did you want the scan of the cartridge as well? It is just a white sticker with black letters "Raiden" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That's great - thanks so much LX.NET Cart scan - oh, I see. I thought there might have been more on it than that - in that case don't worry! Thank you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this working copy I have is a repro. Thoughts anyone? Thanks. Telegames have said that my Raiden cart may have been an early one they used but that it should always have come with a Jewel case - which I don't have, so I am still none the wiser as to whether my Raiden is genuine. I guess it doesn't really matter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmillortoni Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I picked up Desert Strike this week as I was told they were just getting some in stock. Wasn't impressed with the manual quality its a rushed printed version where the image isn't even lined up plus its on cheap A4 paper cut up and a few staples. Paid £64 for this and I certainly won't be buying anymore: I got my copy of Desert Strike exactly as yours. I complained Pete Mortimer at Telegames, and he answered the following: We the same as other people selling Lynx games cannot get the Atari curved cards made any more, it has been well over 10 years since they were last available. The chip on board games are the only way these games can be made, and we regret that in the near future it will probably be unlikely to get any of those made as the chips are almost impossible to get any more - which is why in the past and again now there is such a delay in getting games. If you want the curved style please ask before you order if we have any, the SofRoad you mention we have limited stock of the curved type left. Regret nothing we can do if items are not made any more. Do appreciate you letting us know - however please note it is out of our control, plus as a side issue we have to pay well over double for the chip on board compared to the old curved type So we can forget getting a new curved lip card...

Lorfarius Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 In the end I managed to buy an original manual to sit alongside it, very disappointed with the cheap printed copy. I do know I won't be buying Double Dragon from them, will wait til it pops up on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmillortoni Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I bought Double Dragon from Telegames last july. In fact, I bought both games at the same time, but Desert Strike was out of stock until now. Double Dragon came in a curved lip card, so maybe you could contact Telegames and ask them if they still have old stock of DD... Nowadays, there's a DD curved lip card, loose, on eBay, but it's exaggeratedly expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
