Video Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well, I dug out my lynx the other day (lynx 2) and thought I'd play it, stuck in some batteries and it came on just fine. Thought that was weird, didn't think it was supposed to till you hit power, but anyhow. Couldn't find any games, so I was going to play the one in the system, lemmings. It starts just fine, but no matter what button you hit, the game instantly ends with one of those "you didn't rescue any lemmings" things. WTF? None of the buttons do anything, the dpad doesn't move, the option buttons don't do anyting and the a/b buttons (on both sides) all do the same thing, self destruct apparently. Anyhow, I"m not really familiar with anything like this, is it hard to fix, should it get recapped or something? Or is it just dead? I mean, if it didn't come on at all I probably wouldn't even ask about it, but it comes on and appears to function, minus the buttons, just wondering if it was worth fixing or was hard to do so.

LX.NET Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I have had this happen when the A button was stuck. It could be you have one or more faulty buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 considering it was under a pile of CD's and games since a move 2 years ago (heh, yeah, it got forgotten or it would have been stored properly) it may have a jammed button. I'll have to try to unstick one and see if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapicco Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Lynx ii has a built in game? How do you play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Lynx ii has a built in game? How do you play it? I've only seen the title screen of the built-in game, the Insert game. Not sure how to start it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Invader Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My guess is that the problem lies with the cartridge rather than the hardware? Do you not have any other Lynx games that you can try? I must say that I would be surprised if Lemmings was your only game as the Lynx version is quite rare.

Video Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) LOL it's not built in, just the one i knew where it was (it was in the lynx already) I got more games, but I'll have to find them. Lemmings is one of those games, I got for about everything I could find it for, got a DMG and game gear version too, but the lynx is the best version with up to 40 (non flickering) lemmings on screen at once.
