[align=center:1i9c5i76]A couple of the more obscure unreleased games for the Atari Lynx!

Marlboro Go! Atari Lynx

Atari Lynx Poker Prototype - Auto Hold Mode[/align:1i9c5i76]

How can I get these? If at all possible?

Marlboro Go! is fairly easy to pick up, lots of people have made repros of it. Best Electronics/My Atari in the US have it for sale at the moment, incorrectly listed as Marlboro Man - http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/lynx.htm

Lynx Poker was only made in very limited numbers, I seem to remember there were 20 sold in the US with a black PCB and 10 sold in the UK/Europe with a green PCB, it was actually me who did the release over here and so I still have number 1!

I'm not sure I like how that Dragon's Lair game looks.  The characters look out of place for the backgrounds, though the game itself is an interesting take on the formula.

If the Genesis version was anything like the SNES version that actually saw release, we probably weren't missing much. Especially since it has one of the worst password screens of all time.

Of all time.

I mean, it always sucks when a game doesn't get released, for whatever reason, as I've said very firmly in the past...

But sometimes it sucks less, if you get my drift.

Bonk, Hudson Software's headstrong caveman that made his gaming debut on the TurboGrafx-16, was set to make a Stateside comeback in Bonk: Brink of Extinction on WiiWare, PSN and XBLA. Unfortunately, Hudson Software shut down before the game was released, leaving Brink of Extinction in an uncompleted state. Judging by a trio of videos posted by YouTube user "Bonk Brink" though, who appears to be running the game on a PS3 development kit, a decent amount of progress was made on Brink of Extinction before Hudson closed up shop.

Yeah that gameplay footage looks pretty good, and it's about time Bonk made a comeback! Maybe if there's enough interest from this, Konami (who now own Hudson), will dust this off and finish it

So, is that supposed to be a 2-player only game?

Yep I believe so, from what I have read it was going to be a collection of multi-player party games.

That's a nifty idea.  I wonder why they stopped development.

Well, if you've played Knuckles Chaotix on the 32X, it's actually a very early prototype of that... only this particular build came around during a point where they were trying to transition the game from the Genesis to the Saturn.

Strange, isn't it?

Strange indeed.  I've not played the 32X game, though.

[align=center:2wdez6nd]I still can't believe that this game was never released considering all the other versions were!

That looks awesome!  The music, of course, is awesome just as well.

Cool to see that they decided to use the official musical score from the movie!  That is a first for all of the Superman games that I've seen.  The game itself doesn't look bad.
