Getting back into the Lynx and have some questions -

Recently got a Lynx II with carrying cases, ac adapter, car adapter and these games:
Turbo Sub
Paperboy
Xybots
Warbirds
Rampage
California Games

I remember enjoying chips challenge, blue lighting back in the day but what other games should I check out be it homebrew or old releases.
Also any accessories I should check out?
Is there anything like the Harmony Cart?

I'd recommend you try to get your hands on Zaku. Very nice game for the Lynx that was recently released. Also look through the threads for Eye of the Beholder. It has not been released yet but is coming out soon.

The only way at the moment play demos and other binaries on the lynx is the flashcard from lynxman.

Its not like the Harmony to have the complete collection on one SD-Card, its more a tool for coding and testing, cause it uses a real flash that gets the program by downloading to it. So it works 100% like a gamerom.

Why not set up the Handy emulator on your PC to try out games and find out which you really enjoy. You can then buy them and add them to your collection.

I'd recommend: Klax, Robotron 2084, California Gamers, Road blasters and Qix.

You already have a number of high quality games.

How about Checkered Flag, Joust, Lexis, Steel Talons, Lynxopoly, Yastuna 2 (great Space Invaders there!), Cybervirus, Battlewheels and Xenophobe? Just suggestions.

The emulator is good idea, as for the rom-card I might check into that.

As to Games where's a good place to purchase from other than Ebay and AA marketplace that has good prices. I'm not so picky if the games are unboxed if the price is right.

[Atari_afternoon]

Various. I´ve gotten quite a lot from people from this forum (their unboxed doublettes, mainly) but also from "the usual suspects" (ebay pro traders) and small but reliable and fast mailorders from the UK, Germany, US and Holland (atari-shop.nl). The homebrews I got from the makers themselves (Lynxman & matashen).

I would also suggest Scrapyard dog, but that is just me. Plus Ninja Gaiden.

Awesome Golf, Paperboy, SlimeWorld, Battle Wheel and Battlezone
