"SpaceWar" Prototype Reproduction
"SpaceWar" Prototype Reproduction
About all of the Lynx games for sale here:
I acquired a set of floppy disks that contained prototypes for the Atari Lynx recently and wanted to make them available for everyone to play on real hardware. There are 95+ files across the 8 disks. They came from someone who had a legal reason to have them and gave them to me.
These are high-grade reproductions. They are playable in either a Lynx I or a Lynx II without any problems whatsoever ever. I have had the labels professionally produced and have made the shells on my most detailed 3d printer.
I think they turned out GREAT! (Note: the shells will be grey-dark grey, not black)
You can enjoy these now for a very low price and they will be around for years to come and not locked up in someone's treasure chest.
About the game itself:
This is very playable. However, I have NO idea what the rules are. It seems like it is similar to WarBirds except, y'know, in SPACE! There is a tendency for the game to crash for the player that kills another player. Karmic justice? Mayhems!
COMLYNX: This game **WILL** comlynx for up to at least three player fun! As soon as I get all of my Lynxen in one place, I will further the testing. (To play two or more players, you will need two or more Lynxes (Lynxen?), two or more GeoDuel cartridges, and n-1 ComLynx cables for every n players. (2 players=1 cable, 3 players=2 cables, etc). All players need to power on within 7 seconds of each other (Standard ComLynx protocols).
