* Rygar (with manual)

* Klax (with manual)

* Shangai (with manual)

Paperboy(Speaking of paperboys, I just got a job as one.), Rygar, Klax, California games, and APB.

bleh, i don't have any of those to recommend, though I did enjoy Rygar via emu on my GP32 quite a bit, but i'm sure it would be even better on actual hardware.

This a perfect "start-up" collection for the Lynx. Shanghai is actually better than Zarlor Mercenary, but the Lynx doesn't have many shoot-em-ups, and this is a nice title.

Just got Rygar and i think its great,You cant go wrong with Shanghi or Klax,Paperboy is a classic,and California Games is supposed to be pretty good for the Lynx.

[Damon Plus]

Thanks for all of the replies.

 

Well, I´ll get California Games (the "killer-app" for the Lynx, right?), Shangai (I like the game, and it seems every review gives it a good score), Paperboy (don´t have any version, and it seems the Lynx one is one of the best). I´ll ditch Checkered Flag (I don´t like car games, I doubt I´d ever play it), Rygar (Too long and repetitive for my tastes) and Gates of Zendocon (again, I´m not a fan of shoot´em-ups.)

 

I have to choose only 2 now from these ones:

 

* Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (with manual)

* Klax (with manual)

* A.P.B

* Robo Squash

* Gauntlet

 

My collection would be as follows: 2 puzzle games (Chip´s Challenge and Shangai), 1 sports game (California Games), 3 Arcade games (Pac-Land, Stun Runner and Paperboy), and an adventure game (Slime World).

[EricDeLee]

Out of that list... choose Klax... and I'd say Gauntlet.

 

 

You should like KLAX... and Gauntlet is good (but hard game for me that is)

It's not, actually: the Lynx has many titles which have better graphics and/or music, or are simply much more fun to play ("Lemmings", "Alpine Games", "Electrocop", "Klax"). "California Games" was the original pack-in, though, and there's not much point in getting a Lynx if you don't have CG.

 

* Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (with manual)

* Klax (with manual)

 

I'd go with these two. "Gauntlet: the Third Encounter" is completely different from the arcade/computer games of the '80s, and disappoints most players.

[PFG 9000]

I'll "second" the Bill & Ted and Klax vote. Klax is simply one of the most impressive Lynx titles from a technological standpoint, and it's really fun too. Bill & Ted is a really fun adventure game with a well-balanced difficulty curve and a fantastic soundtrack.

 

And yes, CA Games isn't the Lynx's killer app. If there was one, I'd pick Lemmings or Klax.

[LYNXGUY]

These are the games I HAD when I HAD a LYNX and they were great games IMO

 

* Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (with manual)

* Shangai (with manual)

* Checkered Flag

* California Games (with manual)

[Damon Plus]

Ok guys, some news. I bought Klax, complete, from a store. Also, the guy thinks he has Blue Lightning and Xenophobe, but he has to find it. So, I´m back to start, here´s the new list:

 

Getting for sure:

 

-Shangai

-California Games

-Paperboy

 

Need to choose 4 games from these

 

-Rygar (with manual, does it really have 100 levels? Isn´t that too long?)

-Checkered Flag

-Bill and Ted´s Excelent Adventure (with manual)

-APB

-Zarlor Mercenary

-Robo Squash

-Gaunlet (with manual)

-Xenophobe (with manual)

 

I think I´ll ditch Checkered Flag (again, i don´t like racing games too much) and Robosquash (seems fun, but other games seem better)

[Crazy Climber]

APB, Xenophobe and Rygar would be my pics. I know you said 4 but some I haven't played and some I don't like out of your availible choices

[4ever2600]

Definately RYGAR!!! Great game!

Based on this (shortened) list, I would recommend in order:

Xenophobe

APB

Zarlor Merc

Rygar

Well, I think you're right to pass on RoboSquash - it's basically 3D pong, and though it can be fun with two players, it gets tired pretty quickly alone... I actually really like Gauntlet when playing with three or more friends - it can be pretty tough and gets crazy quick, but again it can wear thin quickly when playing alone... Zarlor Mercenary is one of my favorite Lynx titles - I say that's a "must have", and Xenophobe can be lots of fun. You're right that Rygar can be repetitive, but you feel pretty good when you beat it! So those would be my three recommendations...

RYGAR RYGAR RYGAR!!! I'm telling you... If you loved the arcade, the translation is GREAT! Try some of these in an emulator via AA and then you'll know what you want to own...

I´ve already tried them, but I just don´t know what to get. This is one of those cases where all of the games are fun, and it seems that whatever you choose, you´ll be right. But then, you´ll wonder if you couldn´t have chose one of the other games

[jboypacman]

Again i have to pick Rygar like i said in my last post but Xenophobe and APB would be cool too.Let us know what you ended up getting.

The guy hasn´t appeared in 10 days, so I might get nothing at all in the end...

Sorry to hear that maybe he will show up soon keep your fingers cross.
