Is Lynx BMX the best version of CG BMX ever made?

I say yes. What do you say?

I only played 2 versions of California Games the 2600 and Lynx.
How many versions are there?

Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Apple IIGS, Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, MSX, NES, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Master System, ZX Spectrum, Virtual Console, PlayStation Network

WOW, that's alot of versions.
I'll have to try some out those out.

Yeah, I'll have to try some of those out on emulation. Neat thing is a lot of them play very differently. For instance I've played C64 California games and though, yes, it's still California Games, it plays completely differently than Lynx. The Lynx version is much faster and more spectacular, if also much simpler in terms of design.

You did even better than your score from last week.
Congrats on breaking the record.

you made 214 without getting to the finish??

I can reach over 214 in the first 10-12 seconds with only 4 button presses.

congratulations

Yeah, you gotta keep doing those flips.
The toughest part for me is that big drop downhill.

It would be cool if someone made a map of this course.
I remember in the 2600 HSC a few years ago someone made a map for Skateboardin'

Yes would love to see someone make a map.

I only ever get to see BETTER THAN JAMES. Boo.

[PFG 9000]

Billy, you should post a video or a guide. I've been playing this game like mad the last few days and the best I've done so far is 607. I have yet to do a forward flip. I understand it's possible, and I've seen a youtube video on it, but I can't figure out how to time it right to get it to work.

Your score is fantastic, needless to say. Nice job!

[BillyHW]

Wish I knew of an easy way to record the video so I can show you some of my routine.

[PFG 9000]

I've managed to do a couple forward flips now, but I still can't do them consistently. I love how this HSC gets me back into these old Lynx games though. Without this, I wouldn't play these games nearly as much.

[Atari_afternoon]

220.
Only.
Almost embarrassed to post
I know I was better in late 2010 and will certainly try again, this is fun

[Tempest2k]

i tryed it again and again, again and again xD
i cannot beat it

[BillyHW]

I didn't ruin it for everybody, did I?

Naw, i've been playing some other games.
I did try out the C64 version of California Games,
I like Roller Skating, it's fun.

[PFG 9000]

I'm still working on it. I've cracked the 700 mark, but I'm still trying to do those forward rolls consistently. I didn't want to post an updated score when I'll probably top it again in a few more days.

[roadrunner]

I thought loopy wanted to play this game.
He posted a score for it last month in an old thread.

[roadrunner]

About a week left to get those scores in before we play Pinball Jam.

[PFG 9000]

952


Not quite enough to top Billy, but it's the best I can do. I've definitely played more games for this month's competition than for any before. I'm sure I've played at least 300 games of BMX to get that stupid score, and it's still not enough for the all-time record.

Lynx BMX is the best BMX they ever made.
