The title says it all. And no, I'm not talking about the cheat itself; I mean a gameplay explanation. While the original Battlezone is simple, the new version is quite complex, and the lack of documentation is a problem. I managed to pick up some items, others not... never could I complete a mission. Is there any kind of manual out there? Or can someone here give a good explanation?

I thought I would list what inspired me to come up with this: -Rastan Saga -Gargoyle's Quest (The First two) -Zelda II: The Adventure of Link -Megami Tensei (The whole franchise.) -The Shadow of the Beast trilogy (Fantasy meets high-tech, surreal details, and many of the creatures.) -Ancient Mythology -Masters of the Universe (Fantasy meets high-tech) -Thundercats (Fantasy meets high-tech) -Steampunk (Most of the technology that does get displayed.) -The Curse of Issyos (and Locomalito and general) -Antiquity (Building and clothing aesthetics.) -Touhou Project A small list of the characters in The Demon Lands: -Megatherion (The Hero of The Agathodaimon) -King Agathion (Leader of Ul P'tak and the ruling Agathodaimon.) -Hedone* (Healer and friend of Megatherion.) *=In the Demonic Alphabet, her name is spelled "Headonea". This is due to the fact that 'ea' is the demonic equivalent of η. (Pronounced as [ā/eɪ]) -Alekto (The oldest of the three fury sisters. Often protective of her two sisters, but still willing to go on her own.) -Megaira (The second of the fury sisters, and known for being rather crude, even for demon standards.) -Tisiphone* (The youngest of these sisters, and the most daring of the three. Also known for being agile and quick-witted.) *=Written as "Tissipphonea."

The latest in our Video History Series The Evolution of Atari ST Vertical Flying Shooters Part 3 1989 A rising tide? In 1989 two significant things happened in the history of Atari ST vertical shooters: First, Xenon 2 was released, which is considered by many to be the best shooter of all time on the ST, and also Shoot ‘em Up Construction Kit or SEUCK was hit the market. The other games we have to look at are relatively unique, at least as far a unique can go in this genre, but overall it was not a great year for ST vertical shooters in terms of quantity, but what was released was a step up visually and technically from the average in 1988. Part 1 - Early Years: https://youtu.be/J4XJ9YS3PbI Xenon 2 Pod Cast https://intotheverticalblank.com/2022/07/04/s5e3-xenon-2-and-the-atari-st-halcyon-days-of-1989-part-1/ -
I might as well discuss my plans for Lynx homebrews. -Snáwcild (Think of this as a better Ninja Gaiden 3 than the one that the Lynx actually got. As in nicer-looking sprites and sound.) -Zenithian Micro (Mega Man X with bits of Kirby Super Star.) -The Agathodaimon Mini -At least one space shooter/shmup. (Vertical/Tate mode will be supported.) -Red Wolf (FPS/Adventure) -At least one Middanyeard game. (Will be better than Viking Child.) -RC Car Combat. -Possible Castlevania clone -Gyaru Knight (G'nG clone with a wacky twist.)

Greetings fellow Atarians and Lynx addicts! Today I give you a preview of the big project I've been working on for a long while now. The main reason to open a new thread for this is because I had to change the name of the project to something new because I overlooked a game with a similar name. Another reason is that it has been shown on e-JagFest this year and I would like to share what has been shown there on the forums as well. With that, I give you a sneak preview of the foundations of Wyvern Tales! There will be dragons coming to your Lynx in 2013! Attached is a small poster that I've been playing around with in 2 formats. I'm gonna try and have a website up and running soon if time allows it. At the moment the website has little priority though, so please ignore the URL in the poster for now. Thanks for 108Stars for helping me out with the project wherever possible. Been a great help so far, and I'll have to claim more of that valuable time in the near future. He also was kind enough to record the gameplay on his Lynx HD: Hope you enjoy the progress!

What Lynx or Atari art do you frame up?

I really enjoy T2K for the Jaguar. So much so I even went as far as having an open copy and a sealed copy of it. Today we have T4K which I have on the PS4. Very good in its own right but it doesn't feel the same in a lot of ways. This brought me to Polybius which I play on PSVR until my middle aged eyes hurt from it. The Leaderboards on PS4 are a great boon for old arcade goers like me, there's no question of who has what score and at what arcade anymore. PS4 has such a large install base of users it only made sense to me to play for score on the system and see how far up the leaderboards I can go. To my surprise, all my years of Tempest playing still pay off. Though I will always go back to my Jaguar on a daily basis.

I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age
GrizzLee posted a topic in Show Us Your Collection!
My Retro/Vintage Gaming Hobby I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age Taking a side trip here away from my adventures here. Anyone who knows me personally, can attest that I am somewhat of a geek and so it’s no surprise that I became an mechanical/aerospace engineer by trade. With that stated, I always had an interest in building things and tinkering with electronics, etc.. As I was growing up in the 70's I was fortunate to experience and be able to participate in the dawn of a new era. It all started simple enough with my father coming back from a business trip in Texas one year with one of the first ever digital calculators. I was hooked. I loved the display, the tactile feel of the buttons and the ease of use. I was further inspired when I saw advanced calculators becoming available and even into my high school and college years where I always had to have the latest programmable calculators for my science, math and eventually engineering courses. Now this seems pretty minor in this day and age, but back then, looong before cell phones, home computers, high level object oriented programming languages, etc.. this was an exciting era for me. Read more here... http://rubikonadventures.blogspot.com... A long time friend of mine came by for a visit one day and asked if it was OK to shoot video of my old video game collection and my "man cave" where I hibernate during the winter months when I am not out exploring. Enjoy another facet of my persona here: https://youtu.be/818OZog0Y4I Me Meeting Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari and founder of the industry.

Songbird posted up an early Black Friday sale last week and I figured why not. Super Off Road was not on sale but, I'd been wanting to put it in my collection and try it out. T-tris was on sale and so was Cyber Virus, both from my Songbird wish list. Super Off Road. To start with do not buy this off ebay for $300+. Same with Desert Strike and Double Dragon. Songbird stocks them or order direct from Telegames UK if he is out, $70. It took me a couple races but it is a fun little mud racer. You pick up money bags during races and between races a store lets you do upgrades to your truck. I never played other versions of this but for what this is its fun and I can see myself playing it for quite awhile. The sound and music are good. The controls are good, any problems I had were from me just learning the course layouts. The graphics are pretty sharp and the trucks move around screen nice and fast when you get into it. I'd recommend a buy to anyone into racing or looking for something competitive. T-tris. Now I have played a lot of Tetris on many different devices. T-tris isn't a bad rendition by any means. I definitely will play this more than I do Klax on the Lynx. At the same time there is something amiss with it. During play there is no music. When you lock blocks into place there is a boing sound. There are several other sound effects and small samples throughout but that's it. I just turned the sound down after 5 minutes, the boing sound is really annoying without any music or anything else going on. Really that's the only glaring omission, the music. The cart does save high scores I noticed when I came back, always a welcome addition on the Lynx. Control is good, its Tetris controls. Graphics are bright and colorful blocks, its Tetris. Songbird box & manual? A+ glossy as always. I think it is worth a buy on the Lynx. If you collect and play Lynx a lot it will have coming back, just turn the sound down when you do. Cyber Virus. Wow this game is cool! It is a real 3D game on the Lynx like Battlewheels. Reminds me more of like a mech game than a 3D game like Doom. You have guns, grenades, missiles, armor and health bar. Each mission has a briefing which really boils down to shoot stuff, pick something up, shoot more stuff, exit level. Option shows you a handy map with current objectives. This is great because the levels are really big and the draw distance isn't very far. But everything looks so good on this game. It is arn hard though. I get 4 or 5 missions in and its game over. Even the first 2 training missions are kinda tough. Sometimes the robot enemies just swarm you or are just off camera and you're dead. Gameover. Sound and music in this one is top notch, kept it up the whole time. Box art for this one wraps all the way around the box, looks great on the shelf. If I can manage to finish this one I think I'll buy the lost missions cart next time. This was a really good buy.

I'd been waiting for the Songbird Centipede to come up in HSC Lynx for several months now. I figured Shred or jgk would put up good numbers for me to beat. Low and behold it was Carl himself who was my biggest challenge. All week I reigned number one then I notice Friday night Carl posts a score far greater than I had gotten. My old hands aren't like they used to be, holding the Lynx vertical for hours is a challenge in itself. I going to finish this challenge. All Saturday afternoon into the night, I played many a game. Stopping several times to rest my hands. Finally, got it. First again.

I had forgotten I bought On Duty and Always Winter about a month ago. Coming all the way to northern Pa from Finland is quite a journey. On Duty is a cool little top down shooter that kinda reminds me of Commando mixed with nes Metal Gear. It has a lot of humor to it and doesn't take itself too seriously. Always Winter Never Christmas is a small novel along the line of choose the path to take, and is Sci-fi in nature. Once again it is filled with pop culture humor from other sci-fi franchises. After looking at the White Lynx web site I found there was another game on the Always Winter cart, Robot Run. A cartoon Star Wars inspired side scroller. You collect "junk" to get rations. It reminds me of flappy bird but instead of jumping you just move up,down, back, forward. It has a nice music track and backgrounds change periodically. Pretty fun after finishing the novel.

There have been so many solid homebrews released for the Lynx in the last 5-10 years, but only a tiny fraction of them actually made it to cart. What are your top picks that really justify the time and energy for a cart/box/manual full realease. For me its: -Mortal Kombat (When finished) -Assembloids -On Duty (great run and gunner) And i'm sure many other i can't think of right now. What am i missing, and what do YOU think should make it to Cart?

Hey folks, I just installed a LED backlight! It worked great but... I wanted to remove the coil (transformer) for more battery saving and now the contrast wheel doesn't change the brightness and I believe the screen has no image. Is there a certain way to remove these or other components to remove or any bridging that needs to be done?

UPDATE: The collection is already sold. I have found myself in the unexpected and extremely lucky circumstance of owning two full collections of official 'Defi Lynx' pins, so I have decided to sell one of them. This is an extremely rare item, and here are the details: Included: all 35 pins of the French ‘Defi Lynx’ pin set (see post pictures). Not included: Lynx club pin. This pin was created by Atari Australia for their Lynx Club. As such, it does not belong to the 'Defi Lynx' pin set. All pins in the set belong to the 'Defi Lynx' promotion run by Atari France in 1991. 'Defi Lynx' set consists of 35 different pins: A.P.B. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Block Out Blue Lightning California Games Checkered Flag Chip's Challenge Cyberball 2072 Electrocop Gates of Zendocon Gauntlet: The Third Encounter Hard Drivin' Hockey Ishido: The Way of the Stones Klax Ms. Pac-Man NFL Football Ninja Gaiden Pac-Land Paperboy Rampage RoadBlasters Robo-Squash Rygar Scrapyard Dog Shanghai Slime World STUN Runner Turbo Sub Viking Child Vindicators Warbirds Xenophobe Zarlor Mercenary Lynx logo If you want to try to get this set, rules are simple: I will answer offers in private only. Feel free to ask for further details about the set in this thread. Don’t ask me for loose pins. This is a full set and I am not breaking it up for any reason. Sorry. Be polite. If you are withdrawing from our conversation, please say so. Don’t leave me hanging, waiting for an answer to my last message. That’s very rude and I will not do business with you again if you do that. I’m not going to get mad if I feel your offer is way too low, I will simply let you know it’s not enough, so please feel free to send me any offers you have in mind. I’m taking money only. Don’t bother offering things in exchange unless you have something equally rare and Lynx related (we are talking *extremely* rare here). I’m not interested in any other console or computer when it comes to collecting, son don’t bother with that either. I'm in Madrid, Spain and will ship to Europe, US, Canada, Japan or Australia. Shipping fees will be on the buyer, though. This item has also been posted in the Facebook group 'Atari Lynx Fans': http://www.facebook.com/groups/lynxfans/permalink/3774235172646824/ Good luck, everyone.

First, here's some potential 7800 ports that I might make: -Thunder Force (Sharp X1/Fujitsu FM7) -Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja -Darius -Salamander/Life Force -Space Gun (Will have Light gun, Mouse, and Trak-Ball support.) -Marble Madness (Will have Trak-Ball support.) -The Fairyland Story -The Legend of Kage (Possible dual joystick support.) Lynx ports: -Magical Drop -Cadash -Aqua Jack -The NinjaWarriors -The New Zealand Story -Chase H. Q. -Bionic Commando -Gradius 1 & 2 Jaguar: -Xexex -Turrican 1 & 2 -Lemmings (Will have mouse support.) -Osman/Cannon Dancer (with spelling and grammatical fixes.) -Magician Lord -RayForce -Metal Black -Gun Frontier -Ghost Lop -Arabian Magic -Pnickies -The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy (with improved controls, I might add.) Before I go, here's Dark Edge, a sprite-based 3D fighting game from Sega: I hope this gives someone here an idea or two... Update: I also wanted to say that many of these ports can also be done the other systems mentioned. Update 2: Come to think of it, Quadtari, Comlynx, and Team Tap support are also on the plate.
