Amen to that! The Lynx scene is still rockin' it 20 years later, and it looks like 2011 is going be another great year.

Whats the deal with Dracula 512?, i had never heard of it.

Bigger version than the one that was released. I thought I read somewhere that it had a save capability as well. Not really sure though. I am sure someone here has more info on it. I don't know much about it, nor did I know someone had their paws on a copy of one! :)

I did a write up on it for the last issue of Atari User

Why haven't I got the issues of these magazines yet!?! UGH! I need to get on the ball.

Speaking of magazines... who here has the jungle Guides (#2) and can let me know how to access the mod player or something like that in Sokomania?

Thanks!

A release of the 512KB Dracula would be
incredible! A great looking EOB you've got!

The Lynx is not STILL going strong, it is going strong AGAIN... or has there ever been so many releases in such a short time after Atari dropped support? It started with the Flashcart and Lynxopoly in 2009, continued with Poker, Zaku and Hot Dog in 2010, and 2011 holds Dragon Saga, Solitaire, EotB and three unanounced homebrews.

Eric, you're the man. People were very sceptical about your chances, but now it seems to become a reality!

I'm glad I had my name put on that list in 2009... just hope it helps secure my copy.

Taking a closer look at that photo I see a poster. So I presume Eric will go the same route Atari went with some games and have instructions on the back.

Over 20 years of RPG-drought on the fat kitten; now 2011 might bring us TWO of them!

I've always wondered why the Lynx seems to be the least popular Atari system... it has some fantastic releases.

I don't think it's the least popular. It may well be no.3 right behind the VCS 2600 and the Jaguar.

I am the furthest from being "The Man"
There are a few people that really helped me with everything. Some may not want their names attached in writing to this, so I will make sure I don't bust them out. LOL
But I will repeat that I could not have done it without them.

Yes... people were skeptical... and a lot of that was fueled by one person unfortunately. But that's fine, the end results are a very beautiful thing to see.
