Videowolff Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I love reviewing weird and unusual games that most people may not have heard of and a few months ago I started sharing some of my favorite games from the Lynx. So far there are three episodes to this "Lynx retrospective" where I discuss the games. It starts with Electrocop, then Gates of Zendocon, followed by Slime World. My next one will be a conclusion video (unless suggested otherwise) where I showcase a few more games for the system with little snippets about each one (Blue Lightning, Paperboy, Hydra, Gauntlet, Toki, Rygar, and California Games to name a few). I thought fans of the system would get a kick out of it ^_^ I hope it is found to be enjoyable... Episode One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP5EHK0JLLw Any feedback or suggestions for more games would be welcome. Should I give games like Blue Lightning their own video or should I just end it with the compilation as mentioned above? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikachi Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I love reviewing weird and unusual games that most people may not have heard of and a few months ago I started sharing some of my favorite games from the Lynx. Games that are weird, unusual or games which fails due to for example some technical problems are the most interesting. I love searching and playing such a games on various systems. Even on Atari Lynx there are some less talked games like A.P.B. which i would include in video. Or or Dracula maybe? Blue Lighting is cool but I think everyone (handheld gamer) knows it, even those who never owned Lynx system It would be cool to create a video about never released games or about more current released games like Songbird productions. Great job with review i really enjoyed it. You have natural potential for making those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check out APB and Dracula this weekend What games for the Lynx were never released but still obtainable in rom form? And where can I find a list for games that have been recently released? I saw on the Wiki that some people are making new games for the system but I am unsure what they are called right now. Any assistance would be appreciated!

+davidcalgary29 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nice review! Electrocop is certainly underrated. I hope you'll get to Klax, Loopz, and Lemmings. They all have superb Lynx ports, and are amongst the top games for the system. I do note, though, that Loopz is a legal Songbird title, and it's better to buy a copy from Carl than to just download the ROM. Also note that the rarity list is missing a few titles, such as P.I.T.S, both Yastunas, and the LuchsSoft release(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
