xubidoo Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 just wondered what everybody considers to be the absolute worst Atari Lynx game eva made i havent played all the lynx games made so its hard for me to say ,but out of the 30+ games i have pld i think my vote goes to Hard Drivin. this could also help me decide which games to leave a while b4 buying heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Haven't played Hard Drivin but I heard it was a stinker. Another one I haven't played yet but seem to have a very bad reputation is Krazy Ace Mini Golf. I think of all the games I played Pit Fighter is the worst.

CGQuarterly Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 The worst game that I have personally played is probably Viking Child. I'venever played the other games mentioned here, though. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well, I've been very careful about what I buy for the Lynx and can honestly say that the worst game I have is A.P.B.. (Which I like quite a bit. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinwing Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 the worst game i own and have played is Kung Food. Absolutely horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I actually like both Hard Drivin' and A.P.B. on the Lynx. Both take some getting used to, and are missing a few features of their arcade counterparts (what home port of Hard Drivin' isn't missing something?), but I find them both a lot of fun. Pit Fighter isn't the greatest title in the world, but I don't think that is the Lynx's fault. It's just not all that hot of a game to begin with. The Lynx game I've been most disappointed by is Paperboy. It's not horrible, but it's not great, and it pales badly when compared to ports of other Atari Games titles like RoadBlasters and S.T.U.N. Runner. In particular, I found it hard to believe that the choppy scrolling was the best the Lynx could do, especially after seeing "BMX" in California Games.

Songbird Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I like Hard Drivin somewhat. Very touchy controls, but it's just so cool to see a polygon game like that on the Lynx. Basketbrawl was very disappointing IMO. And I'm not very fond of Kung Food, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I used to hate Viking Child but then one day I picked it up again and decided I like it. I think I would have to vote for APB for controllability issues. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I haven't found any Lynx game to be completely unplayable, but would say that "Tournament Cyberball", "Pit Fighter", and "Ninja Gaiden III" all pretty much scrape the bottom of the gaming barrel.

xubidoo Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 wow ,some unusual choices there ,for me anyway lol 2 of my fave games are viking child + apb must agree with kung food tho ,terrible ,tried it once for 10 mins when i bought it ,and its not been out of case since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Viking Child is a great little game and should'nt be mentioned in a thread like this if you ask me. Kung Food isn't as bad as Dirty Larry. I think my worst Lynx game vote goes to...Tournament Cyberball. Among newer games I must say Pokermania was a bit disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have it but was consdering getting it until I read your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 If you would've asked me, then I would say get it! I like this game, and the music is different then most Lynxgames, which creates a nice atmosphere If I remember correctly then it was davidcalgary29 who did truly NOT like the music in this game (correct me if I'm wrong david) We all have a different taste and opinions A real bad Lynxgame would be Tournament Cyberball, but that's my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Basketbrawl is the worst one I've played. An abomination I tells ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickinwing Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 i love tournament cyberball, its a good game, as long as you don't use any running plays, it takes skill because you can't just run and gun, you have to wait for the receivers to run the pattern and get open, worst game, hell no. Threads like these are hard to judge because even the worst game will still have some people that actually like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 "Threads like these are hard to judge because even the worst game will still have some people that actually like it." Kickinwing, you are right Now I am curious which Lynxgame you think is the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinwing Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Of what I own, Kung Food is the worst, its absolutely horrible. From what i've played...Kung Food is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I should clarify and state that it is (for me) the most disappointing game for the Lynx, if not the actual worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-lag Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I would say Pit Fighter, Tournament Cyberball, and Dirty Larry. Kung Food is not good, but it's still better than Dirty Larry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I still don't understand all the hate for Pit Fighter. The game is actually quite entertaining, even with the controls being crap and the audio virtually nonexistent. Basketbrawl IMO takes the crown of Worst Lynx Game. Tournament Cyberball has got to be a close second, followed by Dirty Larry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dirty Larry - that game sucks monkey nuts. I thought it was some kind of half assed unfinished proto the first time I saw it. Then I realized it wasn't quite that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dirty Larry remains one of the few games I have ever returned to the store. I bought it shortly after it was released and was greatly disappointed. I ended up returning it and got Batman Returns instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros2 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I did a post like this a while back when I ranked the top five worst games. Krazy Ace Minature Golf is practically unplayable. It has only nine holes but it really is only seven with the first two repeated at the end. Football is really horrendous and makes Cyberball seems great in comparison. Fussball is really bad. It is like the Lynx version of the Atari 2600 Home Run. It can't be called soccer. Kung Food and Dirty Larry are just Godawful, uncontrollable and totally not fun to play. I can't say Viking Child is the worst but I am just really unimpressed by it. It is a really lame platformer which is less interesting than Scrapyard Dog, another Lynx platformer that is not that interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
