WOW! Add me for one of that, please. You may contact to [ star AT tinet DOT org ].

This week I'll make some more designs to share, no problem.

What I am is a guy with too much spare time. ^c- I took an afternoon. I already had the vectorized elements, so this is like completing a puzzle. If you need I can make all the rest of covers. Anyone want to host them in some place? By the way it will great if somebody can provide a plain and clear pic from Road Riot 4WD like the one used on the Atari Falcon release, the coin-op flyer has too many letters over there. This is if you need a custom cassette tape custom inlay, of course.

Inspired by BadPricey I've make a cassette tape jewel-case insert for Alien vs Predator. Here goes a JPEG preview and a zipped TIFF in CMYK ready to print. PS. I used the original lightwave paint cover by Andrew H. Denton, enjoy his art at http://www.dal.net/ahd/select.html AvP.zip

The same for Loopz, ain't? We hear for Poker, AvP, Hotdog and Loopz but not like pre-coded titles, advices or official notifications I believe, maybe just Poker was wrote in some notes. I.e. Road Riot 4WD PA2103 is an unreleased but known and complete game, AvP and Hotdog are known games but not previosly listed, Loopz was a complete game -like it's Lexis- but never listed too, and Poker are a listed and now complete game. So could be PA2112 Poker and PA2114 Loopz?

As you wish: http://www.tapeline.info/v2/single-black-presentation-case.html Priced 2,45 pounds, $4 or 4 euro around + S&H. But there are about 80 regular Atari games -> 80 x $4 = $320. Ouch! I think that's not a problem. If you have all the separate elements -cover illustration, Lynx logo, Lynx background, custom snapshots...- it's easy to mount any design from a pattern. If all of you require them I can make the designs for free, just tell me the size you want/need for wich case model. If you need a particular title design I can make it too, no problem, I'll attach every file ready to print.

PA2033 VINDICATORS ****COMING JUNE (1992) PA2040 PA2046 ¿GEO DUEL? ¿720? PA2051 PA2058 Rolling Thunder by Namco PA2067 CABAL ***COMING APRIL (1992) PA2069 PA2071 PA2072 PA2074 PA2075 PA2078 PA2079 PA2082 PA2083 PA2084 PA2090 DAEMONSGATE PA2091 PA2095 Eye of the Beholder by Tengen (1993) PA2096 PA2097 HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER PA2098 FULL COURT PRESS BASKETBALL PA2099 PA2103 Road Riot 4WD PA2107 PA2108 WOW! PA2027 and PA2051 must be for 720º and/or GeoDuel because they were announced in stores advertisements, Atari catalogues and others. Same for Vindicators, Cabal, Daemon's Gate and the rest. Don't move, some known titles appears on these papers: PA2040 LEXIS (according Goatari) PA2051 HYPERDROME PA2069 PA2071 PA2072 PA2074 PA2075 PA2078 RAIDEN ****COMING JUNE (1992) PA2079 PA2082 ROBOTRON PA2083 PA2084 PA2091 NINJA NERD PA2096 PA2099 PA2107 PA2108 Lexis will become CF2003 from Songbird Productions, Hyperdrome LX950 from Telegames, Raiden is LX935 by Telegames, Robotron will be PT5003 into the Atari listings and Ninja Nerd is Fat Bobby coded LX836 by Telegames again. The code list become small for twelve codes: PA2069 PA2071 PA2072 PA2074 PA2075 PA2079 PA2083 PA2084 PA2096 PA2099 PA2107 PA2108 For that twelve codes we have Strider II and Space War like totally missed games but if Robotron was announced like PA2082 and Fat Bobby like PA2091 my questions are: - If Robotron was in the lists, is it possible that Joust and BattleWheels were PA2XXX coded games from Atari listings too? - The same for some Telegames titles, if FatBobby, Hyperdrome and Raiden were there, what about Fidelity Chess, Qix, Krazy Ace Golf, R.C. Destruction Derby and The Guardians? I like to note that the unseen Operation Desert Storm (doesn't have PA2XXX code) would become Desert Strike LX071. - In some places Relief Pitcher was announced as PA2111 and Euro Soccer/Football Challenge as PA2113 (real LX106), so the list grows for PA2110 and PA2112. For a total FAKE list we may talk for: PA2027 ¿GEO DUEL? ¿720? PA2033 VINDICATORS ****COMING JUNE (1992) PA2040 **LEXIS PA2046 ¿GEO DUEL? ¿720? PA2051 HYPERDROME PA2058 Rolling Thunder by Namco PA2067 CABAL ***COMING APRIL (1992) PA2069 ********FIDELITY ULTIMATE CHESS CHALLENGE PA2071 ********QIX PA2072 ********DESERT STRIKE PA2074 ********DOUBLE DRAGON PA2075 ********SUPER OFF-ROAD PA2078 RAIDEN ****COMING JUNE (1992) PA2079 ********BUBBLE TROUBLE PA2082 **ROBOTRON PA2083 ********JOUST PA2084 ********BATTLEWHEELS PA2090 DAEMONSGATE PA2091 **FAT BOBBY PA2095 Eye of the Beholder by Tengen (1993) PA2096 ********SPACE WAR PA2097 HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER PA2098 FULL COURT PRESS BASKETBALL PA2099 ********STRIDER II PA2103 Road Riot 4WD PA2107 ********KRAZY ACE MINIATURE GOLF PA2108 ********R.C. DESTRUCTION DERBY PA2110 ********THE GUARDIANS: STORM OVER DORIA PA2111 RELIEF PITCHER PA2112 ????????????????? PA2113 EURO SOCCER/FOOTBALL CHALLENGE Would be PA2112 for Poker and/or Aliens vs Predator??? Because I never see code references for AvP. Maybe I miss some unreleased title too, any help and comment will be welcome. By the way I know that some games had in-work names: Bad Boy Tennis = Jimmy Connors' Tennis, Dino Quest = Dinolympics, Prophecy = Viking Child, Manchester United Europe = European Soccer = Euro Soccer/Football Challenge... and they "don't are" unpublished games. Thanks for reading! ^c^¡

Thank you very much but not. These cases are like you can see in the attachment. It is like the DAT cases, no transparency and a bit difficult to put an inlay. By the way the cases used in recent developments -Relief Pitcher, Solitaire!, Hotdog...- are nice but I presume they must be no cheap, ain't? I don't known its price nor where to buy. I think that our goal is to take advantage for old and unused/recicled cases like the GameBoy, cassette jewel-cases and so. I mean old card games, old-style game cases. ^c^

Sorry. I think something is wrong with the reply/quote. My apologies. -- I know two or three variants. One is the used for 'They Sold One Million' compilation for C=64, Speccy and CPC I think. Another one is a model used for Dragon computer video games, more slim and less resistant. Then there were a few variants according the manufacturer. Sure. It will be my pleasure to make any design for the game you need and to share. I can customize them for cassette jewel-case style box if you want or you need, in fact I'm the mad doctor who did the solid state 'Vega Solaris' edition for Retrogames magazine spanish edition, here you may see some shots. That is a silly anticipation. What if you have a curved-lip and a ridged card variation without its boxes? ^c-

I use soft cassette boxes, you know, those like VHS cases but sized for cassette tapes. The boxes are rare, expensive and difficult to locate nowadays but they are cute with a "70's computerized style" like no other. All the artworks are vectors but raster images for original illustration, snapshots and card shot. Inside I put a little foam sheet with rounded corners to fix the card by pressure. Final result is highly usable and marvelous to flaunt. ^c-

FYI this is the red vector screen:

Success! That "Upload file" button on Zoc never likes to me because it was too generic -what kind of file are you talking about, uh?- so go to Transfer dropdown menu and select 'Sent binary file' and voilà, lnx file burnt into the flash with a Mac.

I like to note an issue. From the user's manual: "Write: After entering “w“ the Flash Memory will be deleted. During the delete process, the Status-LED will flash red and green and the message “Erasing memory“ will be displayed, followed by an increasing number of dots." -> That's right. "During write operations, the Status-LED will flash red" and "During comparision, the LED flashes green" -> Not in my flash operation.

No, if I press the "any key" on the flash then Zoc don't tell nothing at all so I disconnect from Zoc itself with the 'Disconnect' button. Settings are usual I believe. I.e. for Battle Wheels posted here years ago I select 9600 baud -both Zoc and flashcard-, 256/BLL and lnx. For Lynxopoly Demo I make the same because it's a 262KB file. I've tried for 512 and 512/BLL with multiple baud combinations, verify option but nothing of those runs. Thanks for the quick response! Edit: If I press "reset" on flashcard then Zoc indicates [sERIAL/DIRECT] INFO: DISCONNECTED, otherwise with 'Disconnect' button from Zoc [sERIAL/DIRECT] DISCONNECTED.

Hello everybody. I've bought the flashcard and I'm one one of those Mac users who it doesnt work. I'm trying with Zoc terminal program and following all the instructions shown by Mark Wolfe & Co from this thread a lot of years ago but that doesn't run. I mean I connect the card to the Mac, Zoc runs okay, I type all the options to flash a game -I've tried Lynxnolopy demo, Battle Wheels ROM supplied by remowilliams and other ROM's-, it seems to be burned but when I insert the flash into a Lynx II doesn't works, furthermore the red LED blinks when the Lynx is ON. I've tried with other cards from Atari and the two Yastuna from 16/32 Systems and they work fine, so the Lynx is not the problem, I think. Can you provide me a how-works-flash-for-dummies, please? ^c^ Thanks in advance and sorry for my first post yelling for help.
