Here is some additional Genesis stuff that arrived today.  I really wanted to get one of the the Micro Machines Turbo games but they are quite difficult to find.

Quote from: "Jagman67"Just picked up my first Atari Lynx! Now I have to wait for the games to get here to give it a try.  I picked up Xenophobe, Gauntlet, AvP, and Zaku :113:

Excellent! Good start to the collection too!

Now make sure you get STUN Runner next if you really want to be blown away!
Thanks, I will definitely check out Stun Runner!

Quote from: "TrekMD"Congratulations, Jagman67!  Those first games you got are also a good way to start off.  :45:

Jagman I  am really surprised that you bought AvP for the LYNX as one of your first games. There really isn't that much to it, other  than a small tech demo really. I would hardly call it a game.

Not the best of games but it wasn't in my collection so hey ho. Cost me about £20 which is neither good nor bad and as I'm happy with it then I won't lose any sleep lol

I also got Fever Pitch recently - brand new for £15 though I doubt I will ever play it as I have the other football game Sensible Soccer :113:

I don't know what Stun Runner is like on the Lynx, presumably quite good as the Lynx is an excellent hand-held, but I have played Stun Runner in the arcade. The one with a motor cycle to sit on - that is one awesome game, very addictive :)
For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

To remove any awkwardness, I have mesothelioma. I don’t seek sympathy, just acceptance. Thanks

The programmer of Stun Runner on LYNX had the arcade source code to directly translate with, thus it's very near arcade perfect. He has some posts on the Lynx board over at AA, and they are very informative. I find all the Lynx games he programmed to be of the highest quality and near arcade perfect, like Roadblasters and Toki.

I just interviewed him (D. Scott Williamson) for Retro Gamer, the interview I got from him was absolutely amazing - I was honestly blown away by the level of information he gave me!

So, how long do we have to wait to be able to read the interview?  ;)

Great stuff! I love Toy Story on Genesis! 

I got lucky and had one of the Micro Machines Turbo games come in the bundle with the console I bought.

Been pretty tempted to get The Lion King also,  have heard good thing about it.

Here's a few random acquisitions from the past week or so:

Three very good Atari 7800 pick-ups there!

I got these in the post today, I was incredibly please with this lot as 3 of the games are still sealed and it includes several of the rarer XEGS games. I have never even seen a Crime Buster before so that must be very scarce!

Very nice pick ups guys!  Here is my latest arrival.  ;)

Nice 7800 games and bleeding heck Laird, that is a fantastic lot! Every game there is good though, like you I hadn't heard of Crime Buster and I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

Nice T TrekMD :)
