10 games from the 70 - 80 - 90's dreamed on your LYNX


Battlezone

Recommended Posts

Doom, R-Type, and Moon Patrol I think are great suggestions. I really like the idea of a Wolfenstein 3D port..that would be fun.

Anything along the lines of an RPG would be neat, maybe a Dragon Warrior port, or a spinoff. Sorry, I use my handhelds at work for entertainment, having a handful of games I can soak a couple hours into on a sitting is my goal! :)

Ghouls and Ghosts was another great suggestion. Wonder Boy/Adventure Island. Phantasy Star or Maybe Y's would be really cool. Perhaps a real solid Defender port would be good.... I still love Defender.

 

 

Wonderboy and Defender: I still love them too!

It's really sad to think about what Lynx could have been....

I have no idea if any of these would run on the Lynx:

 

'90's:

SHUMPS: Strikers 1945, Aero Fighters 2, and Raiden DX or the Raiden Fighters.

Racers: SCUD Race, Daytona USA, Virtua Racing.

Pinball emu's: Maverick, Jurassic Park, Twilight Zone

...and for the heck of it, Virtual On.

 

'80's:

SHMUPS: Galaga, Burai Fighter, Star Castle

Racers: Pole Position II (done right with voice over this time), Turbo, Championship Sprint

Pinball emu's: Big Guns

Cool thread. I made a start on "Moon Patrol" (and some other games) for Lynx a few years back:

Unfortunately ran out of motivation or time, or the Lynx CPU was just not powerful enough to do it...

Excuse me if this has been asked before (if so, I couldn´t find it) but how do I turn the formats of the latter three demos to a "Handy"- or FC-readable lyn or lyx or bin format?

 

Unzipped they all look like a DOS executable programme here...

Dungeon Master (w/2-player co-op comlynx support, in-game music)

Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes Back (ditto)

Ballblazer/Rescue of Fractalus combo pack (comlynx support for Ballblazer)

The Eidolon

Koronis Rift

The Temple of Apshai Trilogy

Tetris (Atari Games version w/ 2-player comlynx)

Winter Games (4-player comlynx)

Silent Service

Gunship

Pirates!

 

Edit: Now that I think about it, Gunship uses too many keys on the keyboard to translate well to the Lynx.

I haven't tried it... but can't you play T-Tris this way?

The profile of the game says it is 1-8 players... I'm not really sure though.

 

Edit...

I just read this (I think I will try it when I get home this evening as well):

T-Tris Review

 

Since T-TRIS is on the Lynx, that means it supports multiple players.

Bastian writes that three-player games have been tested, and up to eight

are possible.

 

 

 

Sounds are even worse. Music is nonexistent, and the few sound effects

consist mostly of digitized samples, blatantly stolen from STAR TREK and

other sources. They don't fit the game well (if at all), and seem to be

gratuitous more than anything else

I completely forgot that Star Trek sounds were used in this game!!!! LOL

 

 

(BTW... lots of nice old reviews on that site.)

MY wish list:

 

...

 

Turrican :lust:

 

You mean like this? namethisgame.png

 

 

Bomberman had to be one of the launch titles because its so cool to play against others.

 

Sadly it´s been dead for a decade, but rygar seems to have an alpha version...

not to mention it isn't all that complete either. i wish it was. still i wouldn't mind having it on a cart.

 

i think i am going to release a freebie or two to the lynx community soon. i think people will like them

Wow, this looks great, 108 Stars - have never heard of that project!

 

To expand the list, even as "useless" in practical terms as such a wishlist is, I wonder would Frontier Elite (II) [Lynx] be possible? I mean, at least the trading should...but with all the scaling abilities, just like in Xenophobe, whenever you land on a base/planet...would look great on the kittykat, I think!

 

Still wondering, can anyone advise how to make three of the four demos available on the above site that have what Wondows recognizes as "DOS executable" playable on the FC or Handy at least? I get the impression you have only appreciated the screenshots and never got to play the demos themselves ;)
