SwedenLynxer Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Thanks for the update! I am happy that I already own a copy of Protector so I don´t have to rush out to get one of these last five copys AND of course I am happy I own Protector because It is a very good game, great music I have some questions: I am thinking of buying Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure and I have been wondering when the Lynx/PC serial cable will be available? It seems to have been out of stock a very long time now. And about Hyperdrome: Is this game coming with a box (CD case) or not? It seems to be hard to find this game with the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 Yes, I realize the PC/Lynx cable has been out of stock for a long time. Someone else used to build them for me, and he switched jobs a year or two back and hasn't had time/tools to do these. I'll nudge him again, see if we can get a few more made. Only the version of Hyperdrome published by Telegames USA comes with a CD jewel case AFAIK. The Telegames UK one comes in a baggie with printed instructions. Songbird has both in stock currently (just specify which one you want when you order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_lynx1989 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 nice to hear someone finally come forward and say they are offering this first class lynx release in my home country.cheers. the price ($45.95),and the shipping cost ($6.00),are the two small sticking points that i see could be a problem here for u.s. buyers. a cheaper price and shipping cost would sell me more on this release,most lynxers want a bargain on new or old games for it. could be a tough sell for some in these tough economic times. new lynx releases are a niche market thing usually, and a hard sell many times after the price goes over $39.95. i've seen so- me here voicing just these same concerns on aa and other sites with lynx forums buzzing about alpine games. gook luck,carl.i'm not wishing you any ill will on this. just my two cents worth .--the lynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The game is well worth $46. Btw, on Lynx french forums we have ordered 20 copies of the game, it should help the sales a little bit http://www.yaronet.com/posts.php?s=34076&p=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I don't think $46 plus shipping is unfair at all for a new game. If you were to buy an Xbox-PS2-GC game you'd often pay $50 for a new release. And those games are mass produced which keep the costs down. Considering all the work that went into the development, manufacturing, importing, etc a $46 price tag is very fair, especially when you realize this is done on a much smaller scale and often on a part-time work schedule. I'm excited and grateful that people are still working on and releasing titles for the 2600 (Saboteur, Star Fire, etc), 5200 (Adventure II, Koffi, etc), 7800 (Cuttle Cart, etc), Jaguar (Star Alliance/Eerieville, encrypted Painter, etc), and Lynx (Alpine Games, Songbird upcoming titles, etc) and will buy and support these people as much as my wallet allows. Just my opinion. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce182 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Totally agree. Alpine games is easily worth the £25.00 I paid for it, remebering that the Lynx is dead from a commerical development perspective. I will also be purchasing the up and coming Songbird Games, to support future game delevopment for the Lynx (as well as taking advantage of the great exchange rate ).

+karri Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 If you only buy one game during 2004 then get Alpine Games. I doubt that we will see another game of this quality for a while. It puts some new life in the Lynx. -- Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughacton Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I agree, and since I just made my fortune on ebay. Ok well made some money... I'll be picking up this game. I think it is very admirable that there are those hobbyists out there that take time out of their normal lives to make these "after-market" games. As a die hard Lynx fan I'll support them by buying their games, even if it does cost a little more than a GBA game. Kudos to those game developers and keep em coming!

chris_lynx1989 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 $6 for shipping makes baby jesus cry say what? forgive me,but,what does this topic have to do with christ? not trying be down on christianity or anything here,i'm lutheran myself,you know,but i got lost there. i take that you thought the shipping rate was a bit high,or am i wrong? if you meant this in what you said above here,then i totally agree with you on your statement. the shipping to me from minnesota and carl in a padd- ed envelope to illinois is between $1 and 2 dollars by first class usually,(i have seen under $1 dollar and up to $1.50 several times on a lynx game in the box). so,why is it $6 dollars? is someone trying to make more money per game on small shipments to avoid charging more for a game? sounds a little curious to me.hmmmm,i dunno.--the lynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocko Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I have a question, I have had my eye on a lynx othello, Is it on a cart, or just the PCB (green board, cant think of the name). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_lynx1989 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 this game comes on an eprom and is in a clamshell case with a 4 or 6 page manual.this game uses the same eprom and board as the lgss cart and road riot 4wd and a couple other games from video 61 use. hope this helps you.--the lynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lynx encryption scheme won't support a cartridge less than 128K. According to my list, the Lynx Othello cartridge uses 184K out of the 256K EPROM.

Shaggy the Atarian Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well I'm placing my order with Carl here shortly for AG. Even with it being 'high priced'(which to me for the Lynx it seems great considering the circumstances right now and the fact that some of the games that came out on the Jag were $80 when they came out, ala Worms), I'm fine with it.
