[bergbros]

In no particular order:

1. Klax
2. Shanghai
3. Blue Lightening
4. STUN Runner
5. Checkered Flag

[Sauron]

No particular order here:

Shadow of the Beast - Great parallax scrolling
Gates of Zendocon - Nice animations, detailed sprites
Pit Fighter - Choppy animation, but relatively smooth scaling
California Games - Just looks darn nice
Turbo Sub - Smooth scaling, high color

I probably wouldn't put it above some of the great games you mentioned, but I always liked the graphics on Paperboy. Nice arcade quality port.

[hapsburg]

Shadow of the beast by far
Dracula the Undead
Toki

[Gunstar]

Yes, most of those games listed have great graphics. As for graphics that hold up to current hand helds including the GBA, then I'd go with:

Blue Lightning
S.T.U.N. Runner
Warbirds
Battlewheels
Cyber Virus

there are more, but there are my top five votes for best graphics. One more game that has unbelievable graphics is BattleZone 2000. Not the normal version that automatically loads when you play it, but the SECRET version Atari hid inside that is actually massively larger than the "main" game. It is 3D, with texture-mapping and rendered enemies and will blow your mind. it can only be accessed with a code on the regualar Lynx game. Why did they hide it? I have not idea. It's one of the best Lynx games ever and they actually made it an easter egg of a mediocre, at best, Lynx game (Battle Zone).

I forgot about Dracula, that game did have some real good graphics. I also wanted to include stun runner, but am glad someone else did. I love sitting with the lights out and my headphones on playing that game. It blows me away.

[Razelim]

you guys are all forgetting about Electrocop! that one too had some great graphics.... not as good as Shadow of the Beast though

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

In no particular order:

1. Toki
2. Shadow of the Beast
3. Cyber Virus
4. Electrocop
5. Rampage

I also think Paperboy is a great arcade port on the Lynx. But Rampage totally blew me away with the graphics.

I also think that Steel Talons has good graphics given that it is actual polys in 3D on 12 year old technology!

But those are my picks. It is hard as the Lynx really seems to have a lot of quality titles graphically and in gameplay!

I think the five following games has the best graphics:

1. Warbirds
2. Turbo Sub
3. Dracula
4. Blue Lightning
5. Cybervirus

Agree with most of what's said...I always thought that Zarlor Mercenary had pretty nice in-game graphics too.

[davidcalgary29]

I think "Batman Returns" and "Dirty Larry: Renegade Cop" should be added to the list...notwithstanding the terrible quality of the gameplay in both games.

[babble]

Been very impressed with Zarlor Mercenary to be honest.

Also Roadblasters has an amazing road surface which really flies towards you (better than Checkered Flag, although it isn't multiplayer, so Checkered Flag is the better game).

Also, remember Slimeworld? That game really oozes. My five are:

Blue Lightening
Zarlor Mercenary
Slimeworld
Roadblasters
Ninja Gaiden
