Not a bad top 10 list for the Lynx from them.Â

At first glance I saw "Ultima" and I was like "Ultima on the Lynx?!?!?Â Where has that been hiding?"Â Of course, it's is't a Lynx game.Â

From issue 15 of GO!

I posted that advert because it was incredibly cool to find an ad for the very place I bought a large amount of my Lynx games from!

I remember pre-ordering Pit-Fighter from them and ringing them almost every day to see if it was in yet, I ended up waiting bloody months for it :40:

Is there any info out there on Rygar's development? Every single screenshot preview of this game is definitely a LYNX version but has all 5 powerup slots, just like the arcade version. But what we got obviously were only 4 powerup slots, and some of the abilities were icon swapped in the final version. I want the more arcade accurate version of this game seen in the preview screenshots on my LYNX!

No idea I am afraid! I actually posted a bit about that in another thread but I can't remember which one!

I will try to scan some more stuff soon, just been too busy.

Not too bad of a score for Batman Returns.Â

Â So, did they really give away 5 Lynx units?

They most certainly did, C&VG used to give away loads of good stuff.
