sirlynxalot Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mine is en route. I think I heard this can't fit into the lynx 1? Does that mean only that the door cannot close but the game will load, or the game card cannot be put into the cartridge slot due to the plastic design? I have a lynx 2 anyways, but typically prefer using the lynx 1 when playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnibot2000 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It doesn't fit in the cartridge slot, you can see it in Tempest2K's unboxing video: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/236052-alpine-games-final-run/?p=3246417 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serblander Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 What happened about the bonus cart? It was only mentioned in one of the update emails. Would have liked to have had this too, but really I'm just happy I managed to snag a boxed copy after missing out last time. I have mine on its way along with the game, but i asked for it as soon as Duranik posted new game re-release announcement on AA. I was told that it is out of stock and they may produce a small batch for interested people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmbe Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 My game arrived yesterday (6/8/15). Thanks for the fast delivery. Only tried the game briefly, but what I have seen so far looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Duranik, many thanks for the cool new cart designs. May I ask .. 1 the reasoning behind the circular cross imprint? I see in fact that the circular hole in the red PCB has been filled with something. 2 the plastic grip attached to the PCB.. Do you have any more I/we could buy for other PCBs such as Yatsuna? 3 what is the plastic grip attached with? Super glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Mine is in NY right now. Hopefully it makes it to me soon. I'm also interested in the bonus cart if they are available again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any more I/we could buy for other PCBs such as Yatsuna? 3 what is the plastic grip attached with? Super glue? We used the existing cart design from Lynxman as we thought this final run would only be around 50 carts. So creating a new batch was to expensive the hole is in the PCB to get it out of the Lynx1 i think, we designed the plastic case to fill the hole. After we announced the final run we got much more than those expected 50 carts, so we had to make a new run of the PCB anyway, we tried to remove the hole in the last minute but the tooling for the case already started and the carts were ordered so we just had to accept it. We have more of these Plastic cases left, if anyone wants to buy some, drop me a line It is some industrial glue, i don't know the exact name but the combination pcb>plastic is good for any glue i think, its not hard to attach these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later this summer we might ge some more of those bonus carts, write a mail to ag-reserve@duranik.com if you don't want to miss it. We expect a very low amount of carts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cart looks like this http://atariage.com/forums/uploads/monthly_06_2008/post-12435-1213721737.jpg it _should_ fit (can't see how tall this chips are bit i guess the same size) otherwise you can probably make it fit easily with some minor "craftsmanship" and something like this http://www.dremeleurope.com/at/de/multifunktions-werkzeugsystem-6006-ocs-c/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 That's it. If you could put two or three aside for me that'd be great great and I will check the exact amount when I get home. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I GOT 'EM!! Got the package today (10 June). The carts are FANTASTIC! I was already expecting that to be the case after seeing pics of them online, but what blew me away is the quality of the Alpine Games box! in all seriousness: BEST. BOX. QUALITY. MATERIAL. EVER!!! Thank you again guys for making this run for all those like me who not only missed the game but the bonus cart the first time around. Much appreciated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again guys for making this run for all those like me who not only missed the game but the bonus cart the first time around. Much appreciated Thanks for the kind words thats very nice ! We were a bit worried about all this shipping as this was almost too much for us to handle but it went really smooth till now, also a big thanks to the Lynx community, no complains or anything about packages not yet deliverd or anything, everyone was patient, thanks ! Actually we got a lot of motivation to probably do one more Lynx game whats the game you guys would like to see the most - a "Lotus" style game - something "Giana Sisters" - a "Flashback" thing - some easy to pick up "Dragons Lair" type This is just for a little brain storming, no promises if we ever find the time to do the actual thing. Now all i want to hear is LOTUS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 What's a LOTUS type game? Driving like Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on the Amiga? I'd like a horizontal shoot'em up like Gradius/Nemesis but I didn't see that in your list Rgds BadPricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael David Morsette Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You know I'm a sucker for ports, and games similar to the ones I love on other systems. River Raid, Demon Attack, Dig Dug, Yars Revenge, H.E.R.O...... You know what would be awesome, a compilation cart with several 2600 titles. The games shouldn't take up much memory and I think would be a really fun project. If copyright is a problem, then a compilation of knockoffs of popular titles would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange-Phantom Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I got my copy of Alpine Games the other day. I must say I'm very impressed with... well everything! Cool packaging, amazing cart and down to the important bit, a great game too! Thanks Duranik! I must say I'm a complete sucker for a damm good driving game so I'd say a big YES for a Lotus/Outrun/XJ220 style game! I'm sure you'd get a great deal of support from the Lynx community if you did decide to go for it. Go on, you know you want to! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-lag Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Got my copy too, the game is great, and the box looks awesome with the rest of the collection, excellent work Duranik! As for a possible new game for the Lynx, I like the idea of a "Flashback" thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlynxalot Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) My copy came today, it is excellent! I think this will replace california games for awhile as my quick pick up and play for 10-15 minutes game. A shame it doesn't fit in the lynx 1 (my preferred lynx), but as with most people, I think it is preferable to have the plastic encompassing the cart. The cart quality and the material quality of the manual and box is top notch! I also enjoy the little character descriptions in the manual! There's so much intrigue behind the scenes of this innocent alpine competition! (in true 1990s form, none of which is actually part of or material to the game )The graphics are really impressive! Some of these mini games easily look like they could have been parts of gameboy advance games, a handheld that came out 11-12 years after lynx!For Duranik's next lynx game, my input would be the following!1) Flashback style game2) Top down shooter like zarlor mercenary!3) Lotus/outrun style game Edited June 11, 2015 by sirlynxalot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
