Chips challenge(great puzzle game)
Blue Lightning(Afterburner sorta shooter)
California Games(Great multi player game,would be be version released IF t had all the events)
Gauntlet (wonder if the emulator will cover the vertical and horizontal screen modes?)
Shadow Of The Beast(By far the best version of the game released)

[Hwrd]

Cheers for the list timeslip. It'll come in really handy

Tried Aliens vs Predator in an emulator briefly.. it's not complete but it would have been pretty awesome if it had been. I'm surprised Songbird haven't tried to finish it off. Mind you, Ultravore was supposed to be finished yonks ago...

 

[pocket]

There are so many great games on Lynx... One of the best handled ever !

My favorites :

- Rampage
- Rampart

- Slime World
- Blue Lightning
- Checkered Flag
- Gates of Zendocon
- Zarlor Mercenary
- Super Skweek
- Xybots
And many others...

And the latest release, a BIG hit : Alpine Games !

AVp could have been a great game, yep... Songbird didn't finish it because the sources are lost <_<

Ultra Vore is still in the works, though.

 

[0-bake]

my favs are:

1. slimeworld (really great multiplayer fun)
2. xenophobe
3. warbirds

ok, all three are great in multiplayer mode, but slimeworld is just the best...

 

[Daz_Genetic]

Was it just me or was Batman Returns the hardest game ever!

 

[Alpha2]

I used to spend hours playing Blue Lighting and the bmx portion of California Games, Gates of Zendocon probably used every single feature the system ever had and Electrocop was addictive to me even though I never beat it.... but it wasnt for not trying, not to mention the break out and asteroids games hidden in it to pass the time while you waited for codebreakers to open the doors for you.

I remember the Dracula game being very intruiging untill I beat it and realized just how short it was... it's litterally like 20 minutes long.
