Havok69 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Ahhhhh! I can't clear a freaking board! Got up to 120 tiles, but that's my best. Damn frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have completed every board on the game more than once. Butterfly is the easiest and Turt;e the hardest. One of my fave Lynx games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I still need to get this! I have a version of Shanghai on the Mac (from the 90s) and I love the game. Why I don't have it on the Lynx yet is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_afternoon Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yes, it is much harder to get a board solved than on the GBC Shanghai...but that´s part of the challenge IMO I´m looking forward to the lynx chess game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find a copy of the Telegames Lynx chess game, it's pretty strongly rated. I've never managed to beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im_reg Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The lowest tile count left on screen that I've got down to is 4. Can't remember what board it was on. Love the game though. I play it sometimes at quiet periods at work on Handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 4? Damn - that sucks! So close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I love Shanghai on the Game Boy. Didn't know that there was a Lynx version. I need to pick this one up. Anyone got a spare copy? Loose is fine... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ33 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I sure do love me some Shanghai Hmm, think I'll play a couple games before wrasslin' comes on Edited February 1, 2011 by BrandonJ33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Locomotive Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just picked up this game as well as Crystal Mines II today. Both were boxed with manuals and inserts for $5 each. Traded a Game Boy Color and a copy of Links Awakening for bother. Got to love having a local store that specializes in retro gaming. I have yet to try either out but Shanghai sounds like a really fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Locomotive Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is there no sort of internal memory in the game cartridge or system? I ask as I tried Shanghai a little while ago and just fired it up again to play some more only to see the high scores are all gone. Do all high scores on Lynx games reset on every play?

Atari_afternoon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 No "original" Lynx hame has. Only 3 or 4 "new generation" cartridges do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Locomotive Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 No "original" Lynx hame has. Only 3 or 4 "new generation" cartridges do Didn't think so, just thought I'd ask since it seems totally pointless to have a screen to enter highscores when it deletes on restart.

Actually, most arcade games back in the day didn't save scores either, so that was a normal thing back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I beat every single board on Shanghai in one sitting not too long ago hoping for a special animation about clearing every board and I got nothing. I didn't expect anything special but I was hoping. Extremely fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_afternoon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I am working on it right now. The computer surely takes its time to make the moves...so it is TEMPTING to let a different chess computer make all my moves LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yes! At last I have cleared a board! Figured I would try Butterfly since The Laird said it was the easiest. I was always just trying the Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Locomotive Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Cleared 2 boards last night, first time I've managed to clear any. I cleared the Butterfly and the Bat. Edited February 12, 2011 by A_Locomotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
