    I'll repeat because nobody noticed it:

     

    " I got a highscore of 584,020. Not that great, really, I died at level 7. I have made a pic with my phone, but I can't upload it to my computer because it seems the device I use is not working properly."

    Most Lynx games are of the arcade-type: just some quick plays and that's all. But there are some games that are deeper than what they seem at first glance.

     

    An example is Scrapyard Dog. Seemingly a Mario clone, there are hundreds of secrets hidden in its worlds. Not only you can find money, weapons and such in trashcans, signs and other places, but there's also some mini-games that will gie you neat items!

     

    What are other Lynx games that have deep gameplay?

    I was thinking on something more like this.

     

    HSC #3: Klax

     

    post-4373-1206432897_thumb.png

     

    It is the 2000's, and there is still time for Klax. Colored tiles are falling, and it's up to you to match three of the same color to make them disappear!

     

    Company: Atari

    Year: 1990

    Genre: Puzzle

    Profile:Link

    Mode of playing: Easy mode or Normal mode. This competition will end Monday, March 31st at noon Pacific.

    PS: I got a highscore of 584,020. Not that great, really, I died at level 7. I have made a pic with my phone, but I can't upload it to my computer because it seems the device I use is not working properly.

    Same here. Only if its a game I really like I will use emulation.

     

    BTW, everybody knows the Lynx forum is pretty slow, so I wouldn't be surprised if most of the games don't get more than 10 submissions. Still, I think it's worth it.

    A high score thread and I missed it?

     

    Can you play it on emulator? I prefer to play on the original system, but if it's a game I truly like I'll have to settle for it.

     

    May I suggest that we split California Games in two weeks (with 2 of the events every week? ). One week could be BMX and Surfing, and the other one could be Half-pipe and Footbag.

    Nobody knows it? I want to know how many games can hold and if it's worth it. Does it really hold 24 games?? Sorry, but I need a fast answer. Thanks

    Mmm. I'll surely get all of them sometime, but the decission is which ones I'll get first. This is what I think of them:

     

    -Gates of Zendocon (last Epyx game I don't have, some people have found it easy and boring).

    -Malibu Bikini Volleyball (Seems pretty good, but very hard)

    -Robotron: 2084 (never played, but if it's like I think it is, a very intense game that makes you be in edge, I'm sold)

    -Hydra (seems like Stun Runner, and I loved that one).

    -Crystal Mines 2 (a faster paced Chip's Challenge, which I loved)

    I finally purchased Awesome Golf. Good thing is, I've received some unexpected money, so I'm going to buy 2 more games. From the games the seller have, these are the ones I'm most interested in:

     

    -Gates of Zendocon

    -Hydra

    -Crystal Mines 2

    -Malibu Bikini Volleyball

    -Robotron 2084

     

    Which 2 are the best ones? I need some help, as it's really hard for me to decide (as you might know :D )

    Do you remember when I said a 30,000 score was possible in the Half-Pipe game in California Games?

    Well, I fell short when I said that :D

     

    Fotos-0072.jpg

     

     

    And that's not all. I managed to score more than 32,000 points once, but I stupidly erased the photographic proof, and I doubt I could ever do it again :x

    I agree with some of your picks. But I disagree on a few.

     

    first. In 1990, you put the best game that came out was Tods adventures in Slime World.... I would definitely put Roadblasters ahead of that.

     

    I would put Desert Strike and Lemmings as a tie for 1993. Both games are awesome, and I am trying to aquire both for my collection.

     

    *Oh and btw, what did you use for your source on release dates? Some release dates are confusing. Like Warbirds for example, it says Copyright 1990 when you start it up, but the label says 1991. Same with Steel Talons (1990 vs 1992?)

     

    I'd say Lemmings is quite a bit better than Desert Strike, that's why I've put it as the best 1993 game. I don't remember which source I used, but it was probably Atariage.

     

     

    I don't really care for Slime World myself, so there's no way I'd say it beats KLAX or Shanghai.

     

    There's quite a bit of controversy this year, huh? I'll add Roadblasters as an honorable mention, and of course, I' ll change games if more opinions are added to the thread.

    Yes, it is a different take on in a topic I did a while ago (Link for those who are interested). That time, I asked which one was overall, the best year for the Lynx by looking at game releases.

     

    Now, I ask which do you think was the bests games released in every year the Lynx was being marketed (just for fun, I'll add some honorable mentions in Italics):

     

    1989

     

    Blue Lightning

    California Games

    Chip´s Challenge

    Electrocop

    Gates of Zendocon

    Gauntlet 3

     

    A VERY hard year to decide which were the best games. I think California Games is the best overall, but Chip's Challenge is not far behind. From the other 4, I think Blue Lighting is great as well.

     

    1990

     

    APB

    Block Out

    Crystal Mines 2

    Klax

    NFL Football

    Ms. Pac-Man

    Ninja Gaiden

    Paperboy

    Roadblasters

    Robosquash

    Rygar

    Shangai

    Tods adventures in Slime World

    Toki

    Warbirds

    Xenophobe

    Zarlor Mercenary

     

    This year is even harder. I think Slime World is a masterpiece, but so are Shanghai, Warbirds and Klax. And just a step below are good games like Zarlor Mercenary, Xenophobe, Toki, Paperboy...

     

    1991

     

    Awesome Golf

    Baseball Heroes

    Bill and Ted´s Excelent

    Checkered Flag

    Dracula

    Fidelity Ultimate Chess

    Ishido

    Pac-Land

    Qix

    Rampage

    Rampart

    Robotron 2084

    Scrapyard Dog

    Steel Talons

    S.T.U.N Runner

    Super Skweek

    Tournament Cyberball 2072

    Turbo Sub

    Viking Child

    Xybots

     

    I think S.T.U.N Runner is more impressive overall, but Rampart is one of the best Lynx games as well. There are lots of "not-quite-must-haves" this year too: Scrapyard Dog, Qix, Rampage, Xybots, Awesome Golf...

     

    1992

     

    Basketbrawl

    Batman Returns

    Dynolimpics

    Dirty larry

    Hockey

    Hydra

    Kung Food

    Lynx Casino

    Pinball Jam

    Pit Fighter

    Power Factor

    Shadow of the Beast

    Switchblade 2

    World Class Soccer

     

    Probably the worst year for the Lynx. Only SOTB is outstanding, while most of the other games range from good to horrible.

     

    1993

     

    Batllewheels

    Desert Strike

    Double Dragon

    European Soccer

    Gordo 106

    Hard Drivin

    Jimmy Connors Tennis

    Joust

    Lemmings

    Malibu Bikini Volleyball

    Ninja Gaiden 3

    Super Off Road

     

    1994

     

    Battlezone 2000

    Super Asteroids and Missile Command

     

    Do you agree with my choices?
