Hi people, been collecting Lynx games for around a year now, and a lynx lover from the 90's. Collection going strong but can someone head me in the right direction for a list of commercially released Lynx games. I would like a list that includes no demo's, homebrews or prototypes. Just the standard ones that were available to buy in shops. I have heard that there are 72 of these games i don't care about curved or ridged just individual games- no special editions or anything. I just want to announce to the world (no one cares) that i have the complete commercially released collection of Lynx games. Seen a few lists but they allways have a curved ridged thing or some demos. Pardon my ignorance fellow lynx lovers but any help would be much appreciated.

Bubble Trouble was announced and released by Telegames in June 1994.

Yes,it came in a green VHS box with a yellow 8 1/2 x 11 printed sheet.It was a covered EPROM with a green laquer coat on the board.Super Off Road & Krazy Ace were the same way then.

[high voltage]

yep I got my Bubble Trouble in 94,
it came in a red Telegames box with red instructions

Actually, I do remember it coming in one of those little plastic boxes where the homebrews come in nowadays, hence the folded cover/instructions, and later on I moved it into one of those Telegames boxes.

[chris_lynx1989]

Those look like my mine do except,for the red sheet. Mine is sunshine yellow.

Another release I got back in July '95 and is "technically" an official release because Telegames recognized it and distributed it was T-TRIS.

It was done by Bastian Schick and Lars Baumstark in Germany originally in 1993/4,I believe.

Telegames offered these for $49.95 and they came in a hinged bright orange plastic box like Sokomania,S.I.M.I.S.,Alpine Games,and the Alpine Games Bonus Cart did several years later.

[high voltage]

hey me too, I got that from Telegames as well in 95

[Tempest2k]

LOL 108 Stars, don´t pretend you don´t know

Actually... now, I really did not know.

I have a blue plastic box for Yastuna, but I thought only older homebrews used these things and that homebrewers had now all switched to prettier boxes like matashen´s or cardboard boxes.

I´m just not a friend of these blue and red plastic boxes because they kind of look like they were just picked because they are cheap; no love for detail in that, not even a decent cover or anything.

I was involved in Pier Solar, and if you saw our packaging you understand that I find this kind of stuff important, and with a little more attention to detail even with the limited budget for homebrews decent packaging can be achieved. The blue and red mini-bread-boxes and CD jewel cases are really a let-down; even more so when you think that with Telegames a real company went such a cheapo way to package their games.
The only thing worse would be if they wrapped the cards up in old newspapers.
