It's a kinda depressing thread this. All these great games... and they aren't available!

Trouble with some of them i've listed, you wonder if you need a grain of salt as to wether they were ever anything more than a mere possibility, rather than actual code started.It could be, as in say case of A8 Elite, publisher wanted to do a version for that format, had put 'feelers' out for willing coders, but got no-where, yet someone in the press picked up the info as game def.on the way.

Acclaim? Wow, that was, for the time, some serious star power right there. I'd figure one of the big reasons the Lynx didn't do so hot is that there weren't a ton of big names doing any games for it. Probably the 'biggest' developer of all was Tecmo, since the Ninja Gaiden games were pretty big in the US. That, and having a license like Ren & Stimpy would have helped, too.

Did Telegames finish Guardians: Storm Over Doria?

From the screenshot it kinda looks like an RPG. A genre that's not my cup of tea but one that the Lynx was rather short on. A shame they've not released it as I'm sure a good number of Lynx owners would enjoy playing a Zelda-type game on the console.

It was supposedly canned at about 50% complete after Telegames decided it was too expensive to produce.

Which sucks royally!

I was able to get Pounce from Good Deal Games.  Ultra Vortek has been on Songbird's "projects" for some time now.  I wonder if it will ever be completed.  I don't believe I've seen Space War or Mechtiles anywhere as a ROM or a project, though. 

Since Pounce had no label on it (it's a green PCB card), I created my own label for it:

I really like that! I need to pick Pounce up at some point even though I have heard that there is not a lot to it.

[TrekMD]

Not a lot of game but it's cool to have it.
