+Zeptari Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) check this out: http://www.gamespot.com/gba/driving/stuntm...flag/index.html Check out the cover art on this GBA box... I wonder if it'll be the lynx version of the game if they release it. -rick Whoops... I should really look at the date things are posted! Anyways it looks like it was released in the UK.

Lauren Tyler Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 So is it the same game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yeah, the GBA's run ended earlier this year. It's too bad, too, since I thought it was a great handheld system. I think Checkered Flag is too hard for me, though. I prefer F1 Race for the original Game Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) I've tried to find this collection a while back since I enjoyed a similar one last fall that bundled the three GT Advance titles and a MotoGP game on one cart, and found no evidence of its existance besides boxart. If it ever really saw release, its one rare game in my opinion. Edited November 16, 2008 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wonder if there's a ROM... Going to search now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Never heard about a port ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 This was news to me too. Intresting. I don't know about the game but at least they got the old Lynx box art right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ33 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ew, DSI Games. I have their Spy Hunter / Super Sprint cart for GBA and they are absolutely terrible conversions. I imagine Checkered Flag, being a similarly simple game would have gotten the same treatment - something that seems like it was slapped together in a couple of weeks. Definitely not any sort of port. Allowing stuff like Spy Hunter / Super Sprint to be published, it makes sense that Nintendo removed the phrase "of Quality" from their "Nintendo Seal of Quality" graphic. Still, this would have been interesting to see and thanks for sharing the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.R Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I can't find any real evidence that this game existed. I'am guessing that it got cancelled. It was scheduled to be released in 2007, by then the DS had taken over from the GBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 There were still some releases in 2007, including a couple by DSI. All these have the words "Offical Nintendo Seal" without the words "of quality", even FFVI Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 This link is to a version of the game minus the checkered flag... the interesting part is that it has Atari listed as the publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
