Willard Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Buddybuddies and I are happy to announce the upcoming release of Relief Pitcher Version 5.19.94 for the Lynx! This game will be made available alongside hotdog (around the 14th or so) if everything works out. The cost will be $35 for a packaged copy. We will be making 25 of them available to start, and may produce more in the future if there is sufficient demand. Attached is a test review of an EARLIER version. The version we are releasing contains some fixes (for example, if you look in the Atariage database for screenshots you will see light blue uniforms, our version uses dark blue uniforms so that the players do not blend in with the stadium). Also attached are a few screenshots. LYNX RULES! Test Doc.RTF Edited December 12, 2010 by Willard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Another fantastic release, great work again guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Being European I don´t have a clue about baseball, but still this is a nice release. Looking at the screenshots, does the floor have a mode-7ish 3D-effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is great news! Count me in on this release! Is there a pre-order?! Edited December 12, 2010 by EricDeLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Forgot to ask... Does this have the save feature?! seems to be important with this game. Regardless I plan on grabbing it! I've waited too long for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willard Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) @108 Stars: Yes, there is a 3D Mode-7ish effect in the game. There is also a bit of speech so overall it is a pretty impressive game on the lynx. The game is not too difficult to learn but we only made a few taking into consideration there may not be a lot of foreign buyers. I am not a big fan of watching baseball but playing it is pretty fun @Eric: We had someone look into it and there appears to be no save feature present in the code. The game does not seem to save either (i did not notice a score table or anything). So the board does not save.

Gregory DG Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 COOL! I hope this takes the bad taste out of my mouth left by Baseball Heroes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Funny... I always thought that Relief Pitcher had a save feature and that you could play a whole season. Looks like I was wrong about that one. LOL No big deal... I'm still buying it! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 What about ComLynx? Do I need to get two?!!! I figured out it wasn't a full season after all. It is a full 9 inning game or a bunch of relief appearances. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedenLynxer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Nice! I think the demand for this will be a lot more then just 25! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari forever! Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 COOL! I hope this takes the bad taste out of my mouth left by Baseball Heroes! Baseball Heroes isn't that bad! Sure, it has its glitches, which you noted in your Atari Times review, but it's still a fairly solid baseball game, with outstanding graphics. I haven't played Relief Pitcher but it appears that only some, but not all, of the bugs that are listed in the attachment to the first post have been fixed, which means that RP will have its share of rough spots, just like BH. In any case, I hope you enjoy RP when it's released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Baseball Heroes isn't that bad! Sure, it has its glitches The primary "glitch" being that it's about 20x slower than real baseball making the entire game nearly impossible to play. Hopefully Relief Pitcher is faster.

EricDeLee Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 So...Is tomorrow the big day we can pay for this and HotDog?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Eric... if you are so eager to pay you can just pay my copies too. Deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Unfort. the shipping status on the boards has not changed for about 6 days, so I do not think they will be here for an announcement on the 14th. I am guessing an 18th or 20th release on all games is more probable, but it really depends on when the stuff arrives. @Eric, you're right, the game does not let you play a full season. One mode just lets you show up at random points in various games. A newspaper displays after you complete your appearance with headlines reflecting your performance. The other mode lets you play one full game (as the pitcher when pitching and batter when batting). I do not have two lynxes so I am unable to test comlynx support, the test report mentions it so it is most likely a feature in the game. I am going to put up a video on wednesday or thursday for poker and relief pitcher so that they can be seen firsthand.

I can't wait to try it out... it sounds like fun (Sidenote... I wonder if there are more complete versions of RP out there....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nice! I think the demand for this will be a lot more then just 25! That's certainly true. There are about twenty of us on this board who have been waiting for this one for about ten years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmbe Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I will definitely get a copy of this when it's released. Baseball Heroes was okay - the homerun derby is my favorite part of the game. I'm hoping Relief Picture is a more enjoyable game. Thanks for making this game available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
