Songbird Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Happy New Year, Atari fans! Hope you are enjoying the recent holidays and spent time with friends and family. I just posted a catalog update in the Jaguar forum, however I have not forgotten about Lynx fans! I'm getting more carts built and will have all Songbird games back in stock sometime in the first quarter of 2017. After that I may resume one of my Lynx projects since I will (finally) have the ability to get more carts produced. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased most games in Songbird, Alpine Games is a personal favorite of mine. Great game. I'm still trying to get Hyperdrome and I hope you release it again. Also, there is a prototype game for the Lynx that was almost completed in the early 1990s called "Hot Dog" that was finally released with a limited run a few years back. It is very hard to find. Is there a possibility of Songbird getting a hold of the game "Hot Dog" for your store? Of so, that would be awesome. Also, I hope you guys come out with some new games. Songbird has made some good games over the years. Thanks. Edited January 2, 2017 by Stun Runner 87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Dont know if you are familiar with this game or not. Check it out. https://youtu.be/P65q9CndTkc https://youtu.be/cs4XeOclmG8 Its sort of like Fat Bobby. If you guys could get permission or source codes for this and make carts for it, that would be awesome. I imagine this would sell out on day one. I'd be first in line. ? Peace, and Happy New Year. P.s, "Relief Pitcher" would be an Awsome prototype to put in SongBird store also. Edited January 2, 2017 by Stun Runner 87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seem this before. I sure hope Songbird releases this game. StreetFighter2 clone is the exact type of take the Atari Lynx lacks in its library.

Ultrvore is extremely impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvirtuale Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I found 2 new images of the game.They added the timer, the life bar and special move. This means that the project is alive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks excellant. Too bad it was never finished and released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes, we made those minor improvements to Ultravore many years ago. It still needs work to support good computer AI as well as more than two characters, and would likely not fit in a 256KB cart. Ultravore is definitely a project I would like to get back to on the Lynx, as the core graphics engine and audio are both very solid. I've also wanted to work on a sequel to CyberVirus. There is a scripting format for the levels which makes it easy to generate new ones, however it would be nice to add some new challenges (enemies, obstacles, objectives, etc.) to give the sequel more variety. Finally, I have an old J2ME cell phone game I made many years ago which would work well on the Lynx. It's more of a classic arcade-style game. I have all the J2ME code; just need time and motivation to port it over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvirtuale Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I read on wikipedia:Cartridge - 128, 256 and existing 512Kbyte, up to 2M possible.So for Ultravore should not exist problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJayUK Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great news! Is there any chance there'll be any more Alpine Games carts produced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Great news! Is there any chance there'll be any more Alpine Games carts produced? Alpine Games was made by Duranik only sold by Songbird. I think they did their final run last year. BadPricey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
