Score
/ Name
41 BATMAN RETURNS (Atari, 1992)
a very standard Final Fight clone with horrible music that's not from the movie.
For
1player only.
graphics:
5
sound: 2
gameplay: 3
71 BLUE LIGHTNING (Atari, 1989)
this 3Dflight simulation looks and plays awesome. The Mode 7 effects are well
done and background fields look really detailed. It plays simalar to Sega's
Afterburner but the speed is ajustable. There is no game music though.
For 1player only.

56 DOUBLE DRAGON (Telegames, 1993)
we're missing some things like parts of levels and enemies from the arcade.
Still plays OK but it's too short and easy.
For 1 or 2players.

50 GUANTLET III (Atari, 1989)
looks good, but it really got boring after a while.
BEST ATARI LYNX GAME!!
78 KLAX (Atari, 1990)
a excellent tile puzzle game with digital voices and some nice 3D graphics.
Line up colour tiles to earn points and finish your level objectives.

43 KUNG FOOD (Atari, 1991)
a strange and unfair Final Fight clone in your freezer fidge.
For 1player only.
graphics:
7
sound: 4
gameplay: 5
70 MS. PACMAN (Atari, 1990)
It has some new mazes added and even a new power up, which is good. You can't
go wrong with a good Pac Man game.
71 NINJA GAIDEN (Atari/Tecmo, 1990)
plays like the original arcade game and NOT the old cheap-hits NESversion, which
I was never a fan of. The style of the game is similar to Double Dragon and
not a action platformer. Very cool!
For 1 player only.
graphics: 7
sound: 7

66 NINJA GAIDEN III: The anicent ship of doom (Atari/Tecmo,
1994)
this Ninja Gaiden however plays just like it's counterpart on the NES. It doesn't
look or sound has good, but it's mostly here.
For 1 player only.
graphics:
6
sound: 5
gameplay: 7
59 QIX (Telegames/Taito, 1993)
a simple puzzle game but still pretty hard.
For
1player only.

SPECIAL RELEASE!
50 RAIDEN (Telegames, 1998)
Four levels are missing from the original (4, 5, 7, and 8) and it's a little
on the hard side. Plus there is no game music either and the sound effects are
very weak. Still a great classic shooter for the lynx.
*Very Rare Lynx game*
For 1player only.

6
sound: 1

61 RYGAR (Atari/Tecmo, 1991)
plays like the acrade version and not the cool NESversion. A fairly standard
action game with linear levels. I
liked the NES game better.
For
1player only.
graphics:
7
sound: 4
gameplay: 5
49 SHADOW OF THE BEAST (Atari/Psychosis, 1993)
Your attacks are almost useless in this game. Excellent
graphics and music but what's the point if you character can't even throw the
decent hit??
For 1player only.
graphics:
8
sound: 7
gameplay: 4
64 STUN RUNNER (Atari, 1991)
A fast 3D driving/action game that is kinda similar too Tempest.
For
1player only.
graphics:

sound: 6

65 TOKI (Atari/Taito, 1992)
a good arcade port of the monkey spitting action game.
