Stun Runner 87 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Why is it basically impossible to find this game anywhere? I've seen it on EBay only a very few times, and the price was unreasonable.....Is here anywhere in the world where I can find this boxes, or even a loose cart?

BadPricey Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Telegames UK have it for pre-order http://www.telegames.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5286 It will be on a different style cart not the usual curved lip style. Hope this helps Rgds BadPricey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Yes, they remanufacture it on a regular basis. Friend of mine bought his last year. Be warned though, it is pretty bad. They were so lazy they couldn't be arsed to create new holes for hole 8 and 9... they simply repeat hole 8 and 9. All you can do is play those 9 (7) holes. No CPU enemies or anything. No game modes. The 2-player mode is said to be buggy. The only music playing is a little tune in the titlescreen, the game itself is silent. Graphics are extremely basic. Like primitive MS Paint drawings. ball physics are pretty bad. It is a game that shows that it had an ultra low budget, and was likely never really finished, but released because it was playble.Goes to show this was released as Telegames were scraping the bottom of the barrel and Lynx fans were desperate for anything. Only buy it if you want a full set of all Lynx games, but no aspect of the game itself is worth the asking price sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) For the reasons 108 Stars gives above I've not bought it. The game is kinda poor. Get yourself a flash cart or 16 in 1 multi cart, even the new sd cart if you can be patient (long waiting list) and download the Rom. If after playing it and you still really want it you'll know what to expect. Edited May 29, 2016 by BadPricey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Rgds BadPricey Thank you....I'm checking it out. Its not an original? Is it like a reproduction with an original style label? I suppose it doesn't really matter...LoL, 50 dollars certainly is better than paying 500 for an original. ? Thanks for the info my friend.This helps me out a lot. ✌ Edited May 29, 2016 by Stun Runner 87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's made by Telegames, so it's an original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Runner 87 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's made by Telegames, so it's an original. Cool Thanks for the info. Telegames should make some new home brews for the Lynx in the future. They should consider it. Some of the best games for the Lynx are by Telegames. Double Dragon is Awsome. I know that some people are giving Krazy Ace bad reviews, but me personally, I don't think.it looks all that bad. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Telegames aren't homebrewers. They were a professional publisher. They officially released games for Nintendo consoles too. But I think they are too small now, the UK branch seems to be just one guy. And certainly the Lynx is not worth spending the time and money to hire coders and program a new game from a commercial standpoint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telegames has repeatedly stated that they're no longer interested in new development for any Atari system. I don't really fault them for this, as they do continue to make small batches of their titles for sale. I do, however, wish they'd release their other, unreleased, games even as ROMs. Telegames USA kept giving me evasive responses when asked about their vault titles, which makes me think they were holding out. The rep. at Telegames UK is very nice, but he may not have access to whatever may have been in storage in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttertweet Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 How long does a pre-order at Telegames take to fill? Is it measured in weeks? months? years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Months, maybe even a year. I am not sure if you have to pay in advance though. Could be you have to pay when it is available. It is basically just a guy ordering a batch of PCBs, and then soldering the chips onto them. With the very limited demand it probably just takes time to get enough orders in to make it worth ordering a dozen or so PCBs. I see it as more of a fanservice to even do it with the tiny Lynx market. Won't hurt to send him a mail to ask, he usually replies very quickly. Can't say how accurate his estimate will be though. sales@telegames.co.uk http://www.telegames.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=324_63_64&product_id=5286 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Epyx as far back as early 80s making games for the 2600....and I'm aware that Epyx invented the Atari Lynx prototype back in 1987......what I meant in my reply was that Epyx should make new games for the lynx, and considering that the Lynx left the market in mid 1990s, anyone making new games for old consoles no longer distributed would be homebrewing... ? I do appreciate you taking the time to explain for me though. In my opinion, Epyx made some of the best games for Atari consoles. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) P.s, you have an Awsome avatar pic. ?

108 Stars Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Why are you talking about Epyx now ??? This here has nothing to do with Epyx, this is Telegames. Epyx has died around 1990 or 91. And no, not all games made for old consoles are homebrews. Homebrew means a mostly non-commercial hobby project. But there are plenty of people developing games for old systems on a professional base, with real money involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, it will be a long year for me. ? I guess I will have to go to a real mini golf course until then. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Is the Telegames site still actually active? I emailed them long ago about some games and never heard back. I assumed it was defunct. For those who are newer to the Telegames Lynx world, there are some cool threads about the variants they've put out over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The UK one is active, yes. At least it was last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Runner 87 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 The UK one is active, yes. At least it was last year. I checked out the UK telegames website. It looks active, but just like you said, they are accepting preorders, but no time limit on when they actually would ship the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Please sell me your Krazy Ace Mini Golf cart. Someone? Anyone? $$$$???? I have a boxed copy from the original run, but it'll cost you. I'm not even sure what they go for now. Despite it's flaws, it's not a bad game. It's definitely an unfinished prototype though, but I'm used to playing those.
