jericho_21 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 This is a really good game and it is challenging as well. I own it. It is a cherished addition to my collection. It kind of reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog and R-Type combined, the way the game is laid out. I could never get very far at it because of the difficulty level. Fun game. Kudos to the game's programmers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapicco Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 True. But for insurance I'll buy another copy when The rerelease happens for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_shred Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I missed out on this game the first time round. Glad there'll be a second run. Pre-order has been placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I missed out on this game the first time round. Glad there'll be a second run. Pre-order has been placed. You missed out on it twice. This would be a 3rd run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_shred Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Really? The same thing happened to me with Battlesphere all those years ago and there was no third run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coope1999 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi, I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way as I'm not after it for "thieving purposes" but why can someone not rip the rom file for the game? Isn't it the same process as all the other Lynx games we can download and play on emulators etc? Is there some sort of physical barrier to stop it? I'm going to preorder for next year but would be nice to put it on my multicard when it arrives in a couple of weeks (hopefully). Coope.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Well...you know what? I pre-ordered and paid for a Genesis game I couldn't tell you how long before it finally arrived on my doorstep one day. I do remember, that I had forgotten about it completely and then one day....there it was. What's the point? You may ask? Simple, I pre-ordered for a game from them years ago and they did not disappoint. I've no reason to suspect they wouldn't come through again. So I've just pre-orderd Zaku as well.

Because we support homebrewers we won't offer ripped ROMs. If we dumped homemeade games, people would stop making new original games and we wouldn't be able to enjoy what Lynx could offer. Beside Zaku won't work on emulator, and I doubt emulator author will modify emulators to make Zaku work so you will need to dump Zaku on your own then hack something to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already understand the moral reasons why it hasn't been done. I'm not sure why you felt the need to tell me that. I only wanted to know the physical reasons it hasn't been done. It's not right to rip a DVD and share it on the likes of kodi but it doesn't stop people. Just wondered what would actually stop someone from ripping the Zaku rom.

Level42 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It is just that: the community is likely small enough to not rip a great game like this and kill any new initiatives. I greatly support this. I'll gladly pay for the hard work this game took when it will be available (but not any sooner). I see no technical reasons it couldn't be ripped and it probably already has been but people who paid for this game simply don't want to spread it and kill the few new games that we still get, and they are right IMHO. Technically it could play fine on the SD card I'm sure. If I would own the game when it would be released next year, I would love to make a rip so I can play it on my SD card, I don't want to swap carts anymore. But I would never share it. Oh and who wants to play emulators ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Who says it hasnt been done? Its just the fact that most people who can do that dont share ROMs, esp homebrews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I also appreciate the hard work that people out in programming these games, especially Zaki, which I have no problem patiently waiting for. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Clae Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I bought Zaku back when it was first released and am quite happy with it. It would be the perfect game to do a video on our channel for actually. With real hardware of course, but I would probably use an emulator for footage if I could.

Lynxpro Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I wish there was an option to buy the ROM. Code it with the email address so if it's uploaded to the net, then it would be known - in theory - who did it. I just know if I could load it onto my RetroHQ SD Card Adapter and brought it to the next Davis Atari Party, it would be a huge hit. Who knows? They probably would get increased sales from it.

Sapicco Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 There's a cart on eBay for anyone who wishes to pay the " I can't wait premium". I already have two otherwise I'd bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BitJag Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Anyone know when the release date for this is? I've pre-ordered it but not heard from SFT for ages. It seems the alluded to sometime this year a while back. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/151560-zaku-for-the-atari-lynx-official-thread/?view=findpost&p=3570120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_shred Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah, I had 2018 in my head from somewhere. I hope they've had the 400 pre-orders needed for production otherwise we could be waiting for some time yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAdderSF Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Super Fighter Team in da house, yo! Yeah, I had 2018 in my head from somewhere. I hope they've had the 400 pre-orders needed for production otherwise we could be waiting for some time yet. 2018 was probably in your head from one of my previous posts here, or from our website: Pre-order, will ship in 2018 We're not waiting for 400 pre-orders, we're waiting for our production queue to clear. We'll manufacture & ship to pre-order customers regardless of whether we reach the "magic number" of 400 or not. So there's no worry there. Actually, there's no worry at all. Super Fighter Team always delivers on its promises, and has never in its 13 years [!] of operation ever missed a projected release date. So!! If you haven't pre-ordered Zaku yet, please consider it. This isn't speaking from a marketing standpoint, it's just a considerate [?] suggestion as we are unlikely to manufacture additional copies after this current run. If you don't buy the game, someone else will -- and better to beat them to the punch than miss out, right? http://www.zaku-lynx.com <-- dig it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
