Tomcat

Electrocop - just has the kind of gameplay that I'm always rubbish at and don't find any fun in I'm another who can't do CG half pipe to save my life. Super Off Road is a game where I hate the Lynx port rather than the actual game - I enjoy it on other systems. I also can't do anything on NFL. Wasn't really expecting to - I only bought it to fill that hole in my collection.

A thumbs up for Yastuna games from me. I ordered a couple of games which took ages to arrive in the in transit stage. Yastuna was very helpful, and offered to send a replacement through DHL. Fortunately they arrived before that was necessary, but I was really impressed by their after service.

Which do you think is the better game on the Lynx? Like so many genres on the Lynx, vertical scrolling shooting games only have a couple of entries, but the ones the Lynx did get were excellent. I think Zarlor takes it for me, although my old hand can no longer play it without Brenda's autofire. I always used to use the wing cannons of XQ49, as they never appeared as a pick-up. What a great idea - different characters each with their own permanent power-up. The action isn't as fast as some games, but the screen is full of enemies and their shadows but doesn't suffer from slow-down. I've only recently acquired Raiden, and it's a fantastic port. Quite difficult compared to most versions of the game, since the ship's carrying the power-ups fire much more frequently. I've played Zarlor to death over the years, so nowadays I play Raiden more. I prefer Zarlor, but that's probably with a helping of rose-tinted specs. Which do you prefer? Oh, and hello. I'm a new member, with about sixty games, so nowhere near many of the excellent collections on here, but getting there.

Looks really good
