I figured some of it had to have been....nevertheless it really inspired me to look into some of the merchandise, ads & posters that were avaliable as well as increase my already high levels of enthusiasm for Lynx collecting

Haha...I agree...the thought of some time in the future trying to go for a complete set of Lynx games is something I'm finding myself contemplating more & more it seems lately. I just about finished up a full 7800 NTSC set aside from 3 games recently, and the Lynx wound up becoming the next chapter in my classic game collecting ...Much like the 7800, the smaller library of games make it a much more reasonable goal.....I can't believe how many NIB games I found for dirt cheap already, makes me really regret not getting started sooner.

Cool..I was sure it was someone well known on here....I almost thought I was dreaming at one point when I saw that vid last night right before bed haha...Absolutely amazing!...& here I was envying a couple of the complete game collections on YT & then I stumble upon this! lol

I've heard of "game rooms", but don't think I've ever seen a room specific to one console....& The Lynx would be one of the last I would think would have a whole room devoted to it! I don't think you could consider that a collection, it's more like a Lynx Shrine! hahaha Seriously incredible tho, the Lynx collectibles & promo displays are just epic...&BTW what's the deal with the multicolored units?? Those are just custom done, right? & did I see a Marlboro Go edition Red Lynx?? WTF?! lol...Forgive me if these sound like stupid questions, I'm still very new to the system..As if it wasnt weird enough that a cigarette company was somehow involved in an Atari game lol

Yea I really confirmed that after I got my next couple batches of games in the mail (Dracula is on it's way actually). I can't remember which ones off the top of my head, but it was just weird that a couple are really noticeable, yet other games look fine. I can get past it, it was just unexpected..I LOVE my Lynx already, very glad I finally got one! I remember seeing it in gaming mags when I was a kid & really wanting one. The Gameboy was cool, but I thought it being in B&W was ridiculous & it just made no sense to me that the majority of people still went with it instead of the Lynx. That mod sounds awesome, I hope that does happen sometime in the near future

Found this vid last night on YT...Don't know if the uploader is a member here, but all I can say is this is a must see if you haven't already seen this....INSANE!

...well that's what Mark of Classic Game Room referred to it as, don't know the official product name..but you know that big case that has room enough to fit one of each model of Lynx + a plug or accessory or 2.... All jokes aside that is an awesome Lynx storage solution that I've been really looking forward to getting..I like the Lynx Game Wallets sold on Songbird's site that hold 9 & fold up...my question is, how many of those could you fit inside the pouch that's big enough to hold the 1st Lynx Model?? (Assuming you could in the 1st place) The ideal way to organize my collection (Approaching over 20 games already) would be to keep the boxes displayed on my shelf like I have been, keeping my 12 favorite games in the slots of the case, and the rest in a couple Game Wallets folded up & put in that pouch. I plan on reaching up to around 30 games soon, and eventually some more... I also thought of finding some kind of very small plastic storage box, sized just good enough to hold a row of games & a sealable lid & keeping that in the pouch, but I would prefer the wallets depending on how many I could fit

Yea something told me what I was seeing was most likely normal & had to do with the technology....It still S#%*S all over the Gameboy's visuals tho It's really an amazing system for the period it came out in..too ahead of it's time! It took me a LONG time but I beat Ninja Gaiden on the NES when I was like 8 years old lol..I rented the 2nd & vaguely remember playing 3 on the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy cart for Super Nintendo. I just played it a couple more times since my original post & Im doing much better...the feel of the game is starting to come back to me & I think they did a great job at recreating the NES titles with this one I thought the contrast was due to the game & not my console...Its fine with Scrapyard Dog...Guess it'll just be something I'll get used to over time.

&I'm already in love with it Played Ninja Gaiden III a couple times, can't tell yet if it's a pretty hard game like I hear or it will just take some getting used to haha....Liking this version of Scrapyard Dog too & what they did with it...I nearly beat the 7800 version years ago but couldn't solve the stupid puzzle in time they made as the final boss (By catching a glance at a Youtube video , it appears they fortunately did away with this in the Lynx version & made it ...you know..an actual CHARACTER to face..lol)...California games I haven't really tried yet & I got a couple more titles coming in the mail soon that I'm looking forward too, but.... I've only seen a Lynx in action one time in my life about 10 years ago so I don't really know what to look for....I noticed while playing the games, there seems to be some discoloration...like for example vertical lines rise up to the top of the screen on both sides of the dumpster in Scrapyard Dog, & in between those lines the color of the sky is a little darker...This effect seemed to be on each game on different background items..It's not horribly distracting but is this common? It's the "Reconditioned/Like New" console from Best, it came in a sealed Lynx box, it looks brand new...I was told when ordering that every unit he had previously went through all kinds of testing for screen problems , "burn-in" & it should be fine. Also sometimes it's hard to see what's going on in Ninja Gaiden III, things seem to blend in with the background a bit...No matter how much I adjust the brightness

It just came in today & I'm already in love haha....& I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces when I bring it out to a public place such as the beach once I get the sun visor attachemnt ....Not exactly as bulky as I imagined either, I'm happy with it's size...Beautiful design for a handheld IMO, besides it being larger than modern systems it still doesn't really feel that dated appearance wise

Thanks for the replies....Good to know about those Eneloop batteries, I'll probably wind up going with those. That does seem like a great charger too, I read up on it a bit...I would like to try to find a model that has 8 slots though if I could though compared to buying 2 seperate units...A couple I looked into so far had a few bad reviews, gonna have to do some more searching.

I guess Alien Brigade according to the Atari Age rarity guide. After a decade & a half of on & off collecting I now have every official NTSC game except Ikari Warriors (which I'm sure will turn up at a decent price eventually)..and Tank Command + Mean 18 Golf (which unless I really luck out, I don't see being in my collection for a very long time, if ever at all) I also picked up Super Pacman & would like to get Beef Drop, Sirius & Plutos some time in the future (And definitely Bentley Bear if that makes it to cartridge?) ....On a side note, can anybody point me to a complete list of 7800 & Lynx homebrews/ reproductions? Seems this site isn't updated that great

Man, I've been daydreaming about the potential 7800 Paperboy finding quite a damn bit these past couple days Part of that has been imagining what the theme song might sound like, both POKEY & No POKEY hahaha

Ordered it from Best a few days ago & it should be here within next few days along with a few games....Can't wait! I got the package with the AC Adapter, but soon I would like get a decent battery charger/ set of batteries for it....After doing some searching, it seems like 6-Bay chargers are kind of a rarity, but 8-Bay are more common...There's alot of conflicting reviews for the chargers I've looked into so far & I figured the best thing to do would be to ask everybody here what they've had success with & possibly what to avoid, as well as with battery brands/models... Thanks in advance

Please let me know a little ahead of time when Hot Dog will be out again as well as Relief Pitcher. I would like to get both

OMG!.......Words can't describe my feelings right now after hearing this news ..You're talking about a 26 year old + dream of mine that might be coming true after all!...I've posted about this a few times on this site already, it was the #1 game I wished would come out for my 7800 when I was a kid (Still one of my top games of all time to this day) & I even wrote Atari a letter inquiring about it all the way back in 1988! lol Incredible that someone here was able to contact you about it after all this time...I would have never in a million years thought it was actually a title that was even planned at some point..Thank you so much for coming on here, giving us info & being willing to try & find it. You better believe I will be checking regularly for an update! haha

Just ordered my Lynx II from Best Electronics tonight + Ninja Gaiden III & Scrapyard Dog for my first 2 games so far SO looking forward to it coming in

& If I'm not mistaken I think Ultra Vortek was planned for the Lynx but never made it?? Man, I can't believe there was actually going to be a Mortal Kombat II for the Lynx, such a shame it never happened

Yep, he is funny. Ive seen a couple of his other vids, but not that one until now. Thanks, there's a lot more details about the game in this one then whatever it was I watched. I didn't know you could go walking around on foot too haha

Yea, matter of fact I was just watching a Youtube video on it & Fatal Run was the 1st game that came to mind....Looks like a good game

I really hope someone would pull it off... It was the #1 game I dreamed for on my 7800 when I was a kid...Pacmania, Roadblasters & a couple others I really wished for too...I've mentioned this before on here but I actually wrote Atari a letter back then asking about it (on my typewriter, mind you ) & was crushed to find out there were no plans...Only recently have I learned of the Atari Corp drama & why none of these Atari arcade games would ever get versions on my 7800...Made no sense at all to me back then as a kid, especially since the NES was getting all kinds of em I enjoyed the NES version but in a way was kinda dissapointed & thought they coulda made it a little better...I thought the Genesis version was great & I've spent HOURS upon HOURS of my life playing it haha..I also have it on a Dreamcast arcade compilation but from what i remember the controls weren't too good on that 1..Planning to get a Lynx soon & looking forward to trying that version

Another edit: Turns out Thexder & Tetris were the only games I tried switching joysticks yesterday, which didn't help...The Tetris manual said to hit the J key to activate joystick mode but I still couldn't get it to work...Happy to say that was the problem with the rest of the games & now after just looking up the Thexder manual, I learned you have to press CTRL + J on it...Thanks for the advice, I went ahead & plugged both joysticks in & tested the rest & that solved it...Now if I can only get Tetris to work now

Yep, I've played Choplifter 3 on an emulator way back & thought it was pretty good...When the day comes I plan to focus on a little SNES collecting it's one of the 1st games I plan to get Hmmm I have a bad memory, but thought I saw a couple other people unhappy with the remake too. I'll have to look into it

I'm planning to get a Lynx sometime soon & here are some extras I have that I would be willing to trade for. 2600: Asteroids (Sears version, end label peeled halfway off) Centipede (Slit in middle of label) Ice Hockey Raiders Of The Lost Ark ("Raiders Lost Ark" end label variation) [i HAVE 2 OF THESE] Star Voyager Tennis Title Match Pro Wrestling 5200: Centipede Galaxian Mr Do's Castle Pengo Vanguard 7800: Tower Toppler (NEW IN BOX, SEALED) One On One Basketball (Small indentation in upper left corner of label) Thanks, let me know what you can offer if interested

Aside from luckily winding up with Mr. Do's Castle recently...these games I bough at a flea market in the 90's when I 1st began collecting, but they have been sitting around unplayed ever since. I never wound up getting the cables & controllers for the 5200 I was given at that time, threw it away before a move (kinda regrettingly) & I don't think I'll ever pick one up again in the future I do want to buy a Lynx II soon, and start a little collection....I would rather trade these 5200 carts towards some Lynx games, but if I get no responses from people wanting to trade after a while I wouldn't mind selling them. Please let me know if you're interested either way & make me an offer. Steve
