I didn't thinking I had it any more, but I found it while doing a clearout. The Lynx didn't end up being cleared out.
I've just had a couple of hours on it. No prizes for guessing why the play session was brought to a close.
Anyway, here's what I played:
Double Dragon. A great converstion - really had fun going through this. It's probably the most true to the arcade version I have, apart from the XBLA one.
Warbirds. Probably the biggest disappointment of the session. Used to love it, but now there hardly seems like anything to do. For those of you that haven't played it, it's a WW1 dogfighting game. Shot down one, got shot down myself and lost interest.
Blue Lightning. One of the best known Lynx games, due to its brilliant graphics for the time. Still quite fun. Leagues betters than the nearest Game Gear equivalents - G-Loc and Afterburner.
Zarlor Mercenary. My favourite Lynx game. Looking into the box, I collected two copies of this, one is still sealed. Anyway, it's bloody difficult, not least because you don't always have autofire, unless you choose Brendo, and the Lynx is darn heavy to keep pressing fire on. Looks great, though, and although my skills aren't what they were - I died in level two, I had a blast.
The batteries are being charged up for another play tomorrow. Might even take it on the train to work, and see what reaction I get from the kids who have grown up with DS / PSP.
Next session I can play Viking Child, Stun Runner, Chequered Flag, Xybots or Rampart.
I know the machine is all but ignored on this forum, but does anyone have one, or has anyone had a bash on one recently?
