Starbuck66 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 So for starters, no, I don't have a Lynx, but it is on my wish list. For now, I use Handy PSP on, you guessed it, my PSP. It seems to work very well, and it's allowed me to at least get a glimpse into what I was missing not being one of the proud and few Lynx owners in the 90's. The games I've tried and enjoyed the most so far are Ninja Gaiden, Xenophobe, and my absolute favorite, Chips Challenge. I played Chips Challenge in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack in Windows 3.11 on our 386, and I was geeked to get my hands on the original portable version to play on my PSP. Just looking for more suggestions on what games to try out next? Sabertooth, Lost Dragon, The Professor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosweargamer Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 If you liked Chips Challenge, you might want to try Crystal Mines. The Lynx also has a good, original port of Rampage. I also remember enjoying Bill & Ted, but it has been years since I played it.

Justin Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 In my book all of these games are winners MaximumRD, Lost Dragon and Sabertooth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 A lot of these have been touched on already but I'll just throw in my 2 cents. Not to be missed: Xybots, Chips Challenge, California Games, Joust, Roadblasters, S.T.U.N Runner, Zaku, Toki, Rampart, Rampage, Crystal Mines, Xenophobe, Super Asteroids/Missile Command, Battlewheels, Battlezone 2000 (hidden game), and Kung Food (because, despite the hit detection issues it's $2 NIB and completely weird.) I also really like the Lynx versions of Klax, Ms. Pac-Man, Robotron 2084, Rygar and Pac-land, but there are better versions out there.

fergojisan Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I love Klax, but playing it sideways is not very comfortable. I can't remember if there was another option though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Never played on a Lynx, but Warbirds sure looks fun.

Starbuck66 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Rampart and S.T.U.N. Runner I tried S.T.U.N Runner the other day, and at first I wasn't impressed or that into it, but once I got a few levels in I really enjoyed it! I'll definitely be playing it again at some point.

TeddyGermany Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) The Lynx is my favourite Handheld, despite the PSP, PSV, 3DS, DS, GBC, GB, GBA and all the others. These are my dearly beloved titles without precedence: Rygar Zaku Shanghai Klax Blue Lightning Checkered Flag I want to like Chips Challenge, but i can't. It is surely a great title, but i can't go with it. Sorry for that. Oh mess! There are also Xybots and Warbirds. It's really hard to appoint some favourites.

TrekMD Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Lynx is a great system. To me there wasn't a real contender until the PSP came out. Klax and STUN Runner are definitive must-haves. If you can get your hands on Zaku, that's another one to get. Ms. Pac-Man is also an excellent port with some original mazes that take advantage of the entire width of the screen. If you have a chance, be sure the LCD replacement screen as it makes the games look bloody awesome! Lost Dragon and Justin 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
