AA member Turbo Laser Lynx is currently working on a new title for the Atari Lynx called Baron Lovejoy Travels in Time

The main character is a plump rascal, Klaus "Lovejoy" von Kleinschnabel, the world renown painter, astrophysicist, musician and poet extraordinaire. Even though he's a bit of a hedonist his heart is good. He's built a time machine driven by steam which he and Countess Mimi uses to help & free people in time and space. The notorious time police is after him because he is a "lazy dreamer" and his groove of freedom and love threatens those in power. To proclaim himself Baron (free man) was the last drop for the Machinerists who means to own and control every man.

The game is meant to have an unapologetically cartoony style that is clear and easy to read.  It's also meant to have simple gameplay, perhaps early arcade style, kind of in an archetype platformer style.

The plan is to release this in cart from at some point in the future.  He's also working on versions of the game for the Commodore 64, Commodore Plus4/C16 (+64k ram) and  VIC-20.


Going to the final frontier, gaming...
