+davidcalgary29 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm impressed that you sourced Bitchy! And P.I.T.S. isn't alot of fun without the case and manual -- those are the really difficult items to obtain. And weren't only ten copies of the Death Cart made?

I'd pay decent money for Metal Mutant (remember: fully playable and complete before it disappeared in France) or the uncut version of Dracula -- and maybe a playable version of Vindicators -- but aside from those titles, the new homebrews that are coming out are better than any of the old protos or rarities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I was unaware of Metal Mutant until now. Sounds sketchy though - Atari, always desperate for software for their consoles, turned down a game that was ready to go? Anyway, why Bitchy? Because I have a complete commercial Lynx collection and have moved on to homebrew and obscurities, because I played the slider game demos made by the same guy and they're addicting, and because boobs, I guess.

djrodderz Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I would consider Bitchy and this as the holy grail(s) on the Lynx... I am lucky enough to have number 6 Edited May 28, 2020 by djrodderz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what few reports we have of the game, Metal Mutant wasn’t a throwaway title for the Lynx. Its disappearance is a complete mystery, but I believe it was a third party title, and Atari wasn’t great at developing those relationships. It’s most likely not the only vanished complete game, but it is the only one I know with verified reports of a complete working game that’s since disappeared. And Atari itself had the same issue with its own in-house titles for the 7800 and the XE, so needing finished product was not the problem here. I'm still hoping, after seventeen years, that it made its way into the hands of some collector instead of being simply destroyed. because boobs, I guess. Because Boobs sounds like the beginning of an excellent game for any system! It literally has appeal to all flavours on the gender and age spectrum, and would probably be a very flexible concept. I personally continue to be fascinated by Lynx Invades Japan (the seller now seems to have renamed it as Invader Japan -- mystery!!!) even though it's essentially worthless as an item. Good times.

Fadest Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 20 Bitchy made : 15 given to winners of the contest, 1 for Rygar itself and 4 for other people. All carts were numbered (I guess number 6 to 20 were for winners). The edition included also some metal goodies (at least, I think I got these goodies with it) and numbered box (but my edtion did not have it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full story is detailed in the GTW book.. https://www.bitmapbooks.co.uk/products/the-games-that-werent But contrary to popular belief, David Kurensky DID NOT hand over his Lynx Vindicators code nor Lynx development kit, to Atari when Vindicators was pulled, he passed them onto Chuck Ernst,along with printouts of the arcade source code. Currently the development machines won't boot ?, so work would be needed to recover anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
