    When would you ever, ever get 16 Lynx's linked up!? I think there were a grand total of 2 Lynx owners in my secondary school of 1200 pupils. So if we'd managed to somehow contacted 7 other secondary schools and arranged a meet up then it would just leave the small matter of finding 16 copies of the same game....

      I only ever got to comlynx with Xenophobe. It's a crying shame I never got to do it with Slimeworld but I only had one friend with a Lynx.

    • @101Volts
      @101Volts 2 роки тому +2

      Although the system is supposed to be capable of linking up 16 others, only 1 game could be played with up to 8. I could imagine a few people playing up to 4 at a time, maybe Gauntlet is one, but that's about it.
      And yeah, the system sold 3 million units. Not even half as much as the Game Gear, which sold 10.65 million. The Game Boy sold about 118 million, and I guess that included the Pocket version, but did it include the Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance? I don't imagine it would have, that feels like a bit of a stretch.

    I don't know why people don't stick for the whole video when it's long. They're long but Ashens never drag them out. I loved the Pandora video because I learned so much about it, and open handhelds in general.
    You should do more and longer videos about old consoles, handhelds and computers. I would always watch the whole way through. It's never boring when Ashens does it.

    My parents got me the original lynx for Christmas the year it came out. That was hands down the best Christmas I ever had. I looked beyond all the flaws and just loved this thing to death. It did have some stellar games: Gates of Zendocon, Lemmings, Slime World, Klax, California Games, Zalor Mercenary, Rampage and Chips Challenge. The screens have faded considerably. My 2 linxs have the same contrast and ghosting problems that did not exist when I first got them. I was lucky enough to have 2 other friends that had linxs, so we played a lot of California games and gauntlet. Still to this day I have yet to have more fun with a console than I did with this beast.

    Sad, no mention of Hard Drivin’. I have many a memory of summer holidays being driven around France and completely ignoring everything around me because I was too busy playing this racing simulator at about 2 FPS on the Lynx 2.
    Games were harder back then, sure, but a fair bit of it was down to them being much harder because one frame had you driving perfectly, then the next frame you’re slamming into a cow beside a barn due to a misestimation of how much steering would be applied between screen refreshes.

    I can recommend Dracula for the Lynx! A wee bit frustrating that there are no way to save the game, but that I'd say was more of the Lynx not being thought through enough.
    Gates Of Zendocon was really nice too.
    The Tetris I have though isn't exactly the bee's knees.... The cartridge looks weird, so there's a pretty good chance it wasn't a very official version though.

    Chip's Challenge is a Lynx original? I had no idea, although to be fair I never heard of the Lynx before the previous video. Played the hell out of Chip's Challenge on my Win 95 that didn't have internet access. Though I played the most of that rat game where you had to kill a bunch of rats with bombs. Totally forgot what it's called.

    Makes you wonder. Would Commodore have tried making a handheld? Or gone full laptop? A laptop would be easier to cut features out of and sell for 1.5x the price.

    that soccer game (with the sprite scrolling) would have looked amazing at the time.

    Jeez... I used to throw coins at the S.T.U.N. Runner machine at the arcade I used to go. This game is so awesome.

    I remember the Windows Entertainment Pack versions of Chip's Challenge and having played them... a little...
    Anyway, wow, the Lynx version looks SO much better than that version did (and no surprise, I never saw that version when I was a kid).

    Chip's Challenge was fun when I played it on an early windows PC, it's aged badly though since the start is okay but the levels soon become very tedious, lasting like 5+ minutes of the same thing over and over again or really unclear puzzles.

    I would play electro cop for hours when I was younger. I even tried mapping the levels but I'm sure there was never a way to complete it.

    Speaking of amazing for the time, I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Steel Talons. Yeah, its framerate was a bit low, but it was a genuine *3D polygon flight sim* on a goddamn handheld! It even had a pretty decent draw distance. You'd have to have a pretty good computer of the time -like a 386 or higher-end Amiga- to do much better, and even then, a lot of PC sims didn't have very good FPS either.

    the 'Shuka-Waka' in the end title music needs to be more predominant. it would push the theme of the tune back another 15 years into the early predisco 70's....

    not sure if anyones said anything after all this time, but its pretty easy to test if that lynx is any good, theres a chips that fries quite easy that controls power, but if i remember right it can be safely bypassed by connecting battery negative and the ground on the audio out
