Nimtene Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Very interesting to see a new Lynx Game up on Ebay: Atari Lynx - The Space Incident (Yastuna vol. 2) Was completely unaware of this being released. Very impressive. Anyone know if there was a Volume #1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Wow, things are going very quick on Internet . I released this compilation as freeware on friday, just before the Atari Connexion, but the website is in french only : http://fadest.free.fr/Yastuna2 Edit : english web page : http://fadest.free.fr/Yastuna2/indexen.html This is a freeware, basically, you can download it, play it with Handy, build your own cartridges, and yes, sell them with the packaging you want (like this guy is doing on Ebay), as long as binay is not modified, and as long as included texts (readme.txt, not included in the archive yet, only the french version is) are printed to buyer. Yes, Yastuna volume 1 exists, in fact, it is not ready yet, there is a textual adventure game included in it, and the english version is currently in translating process. See more on : http://fadest.free.fr/Yastuna (same as volume 2, website only in french at this time, english version coming soon). Basically, volume 2 is more polished and have only 4 games, volume 1 is more root (no music included, mp3 compliant, I prefer to play with my mp3 player music), but there are more than 6 games (officially, 6 games on main menu, and more hidden, informations on how to find them are given in text adventure).

SwedenLynxer Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice. It looks awesome. But will it just be available as downlaodable freeware? No plans to make your own "official" carts sometime in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the nice comment. Right, we have no plan to make or sell "official" carts. The fun for us is in making game. Manufacturing, packaging, selling is not the funniest part... believe me, I paid a lot in the past with this kind of nightmares . So we think this solution is the best for everyone, we can show our work via emulator. Everyone can appreciate it for free via Handy. And everybody can make its own cartridge or buy one (there are many manufacturers who are susceptible to build one - so I hope the prices will stay reasonable, even if I have no impact on prices). Of course, we could have made a deal with a manufacturer for an exclusive official release, but this would have imply not give it as freeware to the community. In fact, the best solution would be a kind of Lynx card flash ou SD reader... but as far as I know, there is no projects of such harware.

EricDeLee Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 wanna code Milton Bradley's Dark Tower game for us?! LOL I'd love to have that game on the lynx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hehe, that was fast. The box is pretty cool, using the original tintin moon rocket for the cover, which obviously inspired templeton for the graphics In my opinion the games are worth having on a real cart, especially space shoot and space lock are really good and the graphics are super nice.

Nimtene Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) Very cool. I see that the auction cost is already getting high. I'd be willing to make up a few budget release carts of this game, for less than $25 shipped. If interested, please PM me.

Fadest Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 De rien Note, for lucky guys owning a PSP or a GP with a Lynx emulator (maybe the DS have one also, I don't know), you can also play it on handheld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now as you have released it as freeware perhaps we could bundle it with the next version of the PLynx Handy emulator. I already ported it to Handy 0.95 level but there is still a few bugs left that I have to fix. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yes please do it. I haven't translated yet the conditions of use in english (yes, i'm a bit lazy...), but everyone is free to distribute the archive, basically, the only conditions are : - do not alter the files (executable or text) - keep included all existing files in archive (executable and text) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimtene Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just a word to say I (finally) did a quick and dirty translation of Yastuna 2 web page : http://fadest.free.fr/Yastuna2/indexen.html Thanks again for all your hard work, Fadest. I have produced a small batch of these carts. They start mailing out today. Presently, there is one single cart unspoken for. Please write me if you are interested in buying it. Thanks.

EricDeLee Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I sent you a PM this morning to answer yours.... Looking forward to checking the mail now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I got my cart Friday... it is a great looking cart and the gameplay is great. If you can grab a cart... I suggest that you do. Especially for the price he's asking. You can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks you for the kind words We have been asked if one developper could re-use Templeton graphs into his game. We decided to put graphs files in freeware, so averyone who need some nice space sprite could use them. There is no restriction on game status (freeware, commercial...) or platform. You will find Yastuna 2 Graphic Pack on our site : http://fadest.free.fr/Yastuna2/indexen.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steinar Thorsen Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry for digging up an old thread.. But I was just putting together the box for Yastuna 2 today, and noticed I do not have any "manual" for it.. I know it was sold with a single sheet flyer that could be folded into a folder..? Do anyone have a link to a user manual in english? (I'm still digging around trying to find the one that came with my cart..).. I would appreciate any help!

EricDeLee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If given the okay, I could scan it for you. But I want do so without permission of the one that produced the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
