Quest for the Holy Grail

[rygar]

I got to have almost everything I was looking for my Lynx and I'll start to bored me to not find new items.

 

However, it still lacks some very rare items in my collection, I have little hope of getting quickly but nothing ventured, nothing did.

Here's what I'm still looking:

Alien vs Predator Version 3 characters (PCB original or just a copy)

Cyber Virus Cincin classic edition (CIB)

MANDY system (in order to complete my dev kit)

If you have one of this, for sale, you can contact me by MP and I will be the most happy man (or you can put it all on Ebay to make a fortune and I will hating you for all my life )

Out of interest, what's different about the Cinci Classic version?

[Songbird]

The CC version was released several months ahead of the final one, and has some custom missions / landscape graphics included which are not found in the final version. So it's a pretty unique item. And yes, I still have #1 of 25 in my possession.

While we're talking about unique Lynx items, how about:

• CyberVirus prototype on Beyond Games etched PCB (game is very different from final version, as it was produced before I acquired the code)
• Lexis prototype on Atari etched PCB (game differs from final version)
• Ponx pre-release prototype on black TSOP PCB (game differs from final version)
• SFX pre-release prototype on black TSOP PCB

He Carl, you are not just mentioning these because you have the one and only existing item in your possession, right?

[Songbird]

You caught me.

And don't forget the rare white lynx.

i believe the 3 character version of AVP is actually one of the earliest version, per some info we found on an hdd. i assume its pretty much unplayable, but would still be interested to see it myself. i contacted the owner of it a little while back and he refused to consider the possibility of selling it (we were thinking of giving it away with one of our other releases), but if it does come out it'd be interesting to see what's unique about it. On the hdd i also have a few frames from the Alien's storyline iirc, just have to get around to getting this stuff up.

I have a couple holy grails myself. There was a special release of Remnant CGE 2000 edition. The rom is the same as the regular release but the cart says CGE2k Special Edition

I have an empty slot in my game case saved for it ?

I also would like to get the English variation of Marlboro Lynx, though I am pretty satisfied with the German. Other than that I just like keeping my eye out for cool items. There are actually several common items I've never gotten around to getting that I may make a Christmas present to myself with. The visors, battery pack and the large case I never got around to getting.

Ok Carl since you insist I am ok for purchase these items.

You can also add your C.V. CCE #1/25.

One of 25... geez... that is the point where collecting gets hair pulling.

 

You have two choices unless you have a lot of money:

1) Accept that you will more than likely not find one of such a rare run. If you find one, cool.

2) Go nuts.

 

I think no one would begrudge your collection if you didn't find one.

 

Is the rom image of that version of the game available anywhere?

There is a PITS on eBay now if your willing to pay for it:

It looks in nice condition, even has the binder. Which reminds me, would anyone be willing to send me on electronic version of that binder? The PITS I bought the collector swore his didn't come with a binder, I would love to make one up for it.

The hazards of life, shortly after having opened the subject I was lucky to find in France a copy of CBCCCE. A big thank you to the seller who allows me to add a very nice item in my collection.

 

The Songbird family is finally full :

 

And I think the Telegames family too :

 

Two good things to do! Next!

Oh, you have Double Dragon in jewel case. But you have it in original style box too, right? Same with Desert Strike.

[rygar]

Yes the original boxes are the first that I have collected.
Now I try to collect the boxes of other Lynx game dealers
