Even More Games of the Atari Lynx - Retrospective

[@The_Smoother]

The Lynx was a mythical beast back in the day. Saw it all over the magazines but I’ve still never seen one in real life.

[@davidt3563]

Every kid wanted one. I remember those days.

[@johnnygrind77]

You've gone this far, there's no turning back now. Please continue the series, Patman!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks

[@grumpyoldwizard]

I had a Lynx way back when. It was a great little machine. The only big problems were the massive battery requirement/drain and lack of support. I think it's underappreciated. I enjoy your channel. Thanks for the memories :)

[@ChaosGenerator]

You have the perfect voice and delivery for this, Pat. It really carries the retro vibe all on its own and reminds me of how this kind of content was presented during my childhood. God bless you. I hope all is well!

Don't forget, Snoopy also makes a helluva sno-cone!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, he is also a pretty good bowler as well. Check out the snoopy bowling toy which I also had as a kid :-)

[@billcook4768]

The dog house snow-cone machine? Now that’s a toy I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree, completely forgot about it@@billcook4768

[@Roger-fs5yo]

A red baron pizza and a new Patman video is the perfect combination for a wonderful Saturday afternoon😎

[@jersmont1309]

I had an Atari Lynx, don't know why my parents brought it for Christmas, but very grateful. my Parents would have to steal my Gamepro magazines to know what it was (whenever the Lynx was released in a town of 200 in NZ. no video game ads on tv) So I got Viking Son and loved it. I wasn't allowed to buy anymore games (i wanted Klax) because I already had a game for it weird times.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Very cool. I can recall getting an NES for the first time in my parents not buying me any games because they were so expensive and I already had super Mario :-)

[@exidy-yt]

The Lynx was an amazing machine, but I was a Sega Game Gear owner at the time, having gotten it dirt cheap so I ignored it, to my loss. The only thing that frustrates me about it (having busted out an emulator after your last video) is how zoomed in close every game is. It's particularly annoying on Double Dragon and Rygar is another good example of how it impacts what would otherwise be absolutely top tier conversions of arcade classics. A double-screen side by side Lynx would have been a dream machine, but sadly impractical for retail at that time as it would have cost a mint to produce. Great video, love seeing the classics brought back to the spotlight on this channel, Patman!

[@Hyreia]

I'm really surprised Ms Pac Man didn't have a vertical mode here. Considering you only need the D-Pad, it would've been easy to play it that way.

[@Choralone422]

I'm totally down for a part 3 of this series! Keep up the great work!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a ton

[@funkybuddhaInit]

The graphics on Lemmings are amazing. I'll never forget the first time I loaded it up on the Lynx and saw the intro and the transitional zoom from the map screen to the level (Shame they weren't shown in the video). Compare it to the Game Gear version and it really shows how much more capable the Lynx was. (To anybody who has never held a Lynx - The build quality of the Lynx compared to the Game Gear is night and day. The unit is solid and weighty compared to the Game Gear.)

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's true, never really thought about it but the Game gear feels like a toy compared to the Atari Lynx

[@worldofretrogameplay6963]

We need a third video in the series, Pat! I love your channel. ❤️☺️

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that

[@iankempster7007]

I love the enthusiasm in your videos. Great video as always.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks so much!

[@kalvinravn8431]

Yes good sir a part 3 would be most welcomed!

[@trekadam30]

Part 3, please! I'll wait here.

[@Exar_Kun]

YUSSS!! A new PatmanQC video!!A new PatmanQC video!!! Every time I get an alert that you posted a new video I start jumping around like Steve Martin in the film The Jerk when he finds out his name is in the phone book! Also I absolutely love the Batman shirt Patman sir, you absolute Giga-Chad!! Cheers my friend!!! 😎

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That really made me LOL. "Things are going to Start happening to me now" - Very funny and thanks for the nice words

[@Exar_Kun]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Awesome!! Anytime!!!! “HE HATES THESE CANS!! STAY AWAY FROM THE CANS!!”

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL what a classic movie@@Exar_Kun

[@jayesun3420]

Loving the Lynx coverage Patman great episode as usual and of course we'd love a Lynx part 3. Thanks 🎉

[@randy7894]

Hell yeah. Both Checkered Flag and Chip's Challenge are fenominal on thhe Lynx.

[@piratestation69]

Roadblasters was probably the best game. Rygar is amazing close to the arcade game. (I own a rygar pcb). The Nes way different. Better music... Pit fighter another pcb i own not bad. The game is crap but fun to play. As usual awesome vid/commentary. Please spoil us with More!

[@BlackArroToons]

Great continuation video, Patman for the Atari Lynx! Thanks! I am glad I finally got to play Chip's Challenge the puzzle game.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks buddy. Chips challenges a lot of fun

[@dancingwiththedogsdj]

Woo hoo! Thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are very enjoyable and I love the longer style. Have a wonderful day! 😊🌎❤️🕺🏻🐶🎮

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you! I appreciate the nice words, have a great day

[@Riz2336]

Do a part 3. I've been enjoying these Lynx vids. Sure brings back memories as a kid playing my brothers best friends lynx when it was a new handheld and pretty much no one owned one (they all had gameboys)

[@chrislaustin]

Yeah Patman, for sure do another one of these vids, as many other great Lynx titles didn't get there chance to shine, one of which is a personal fav, Xybots.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That one came close to making the cut

[@JK-fv9xk]

Patman speaking hard truth. Marriage is a soul devouring existence

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL

[@theflyingninja1]

Thanks for the heads up 👌

[@FintanMoloney]

Definitely an underrated console. Was very impressed by its graphics shown here. Never knew anyone who had one back in the day.

[@TheAnkMan]

Thanks for mentioning me (My_Fancy_Channel) on the screen of people asking for a second part. 🤗 Just a few days later I renamed my channel to what it is now. As always you put a lot of work into your videos. This one is no exception. Sure I am up for part 3. (No need to mention me this time 😉 )

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Absolutely, thank you for your support. Also, thanks for the nice words

[@Toymortal]

Great video as always. Today I needed to laugh and some of the one liners you dealt had me howling out loud! Thanks for that 😊

[@raistbroga]

Part 3: Achievement unlocked! Yes please, Patman!

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

I always wondered even as a kid how the musician got the music wrong in Rygar. It's only a few notes on the bass and he still got it wrong. That always drove me nuts

[@axeman1973]

Sure you don’t mean Rastan?

[@PnC_GameZnThingZ]

Lemmings! I used to play it on the Lynx all the time.. I have I think 10 different versions of lemmings. Interestingly not the original Amiga version

[@LeShark75]

Another cracking video Patman, thank you. These days I get my official Rygar and Shadow Warriors fix on the Nintendo Switch via Arcade Archives, but it was amazing to play these titles on the Lynx back in the day. PS Yes to part 3!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It's pretty cool all These old games are getting re-released. Thanks

[@LeShark75]

Indeed, and I really don't mind paying $5 for the titles I want. They come with online score boards and a wealth of options. Darius and The Ninja Warriors are interesting, with those being across three screens you can replicate the fade and warping the separate screens would show over time.

[@shareofmoney]

Another great video from you! I would love to see a part 3 of this.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Anybody wonder why this video was Removed earlier?

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks buddy

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Audio issues I had to fix, It didn't encode right for some reason

[@opa-age]

Awesome to see the Lynx getting so much love

[@FutureGroupsofRufus]

I wish you showed the bigger "Ms. Pac-Man" mazes accessed by pressing Option 1. My favorite LYNX game was "Super Swkeek:.

[@w.w.7148]

Yes, please more!

[@midnightkitty8172]

I had a LYNX for a while and with it was a Surfing game. Can't remember the name of it, but I got pretty good at catching a wave. I really was sitting on top of the world ( as the Beach Boys would say )! ( edit: as it turns out, there is an image of a boy playing this same Surfing game I was talking about right at the end of the video, so at least it isn't just a figment of my imagination, thank goodness.)

[@Crashtopher]

the consensus is greater than a quorum of queefs, we would love a part 3!!!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL comment off the day

[@thefourhorsemen91]

Best game on Lynx was Red Baron. Hands down. What an amazing game on a great platform.

[@MarquisDeSang]

We need a Lynx Mini

[@blackflame4506]

Another great retrospective Patman!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks so much

[@IanVersusDaddybones]

I was wondering what happened to this video. I was watching it like 2 hours ago and it disappeared and wasn't even showing up in my history. Now I can finish it

[@mentalphilanthropist35]

Yeah, it was set to private for some reason.

[@jeffturner5541]

Yeah Patman! Great video! I miss my Lynx console!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks. I had fun playing those games again only this time with an emulator

[@stunthumb]

Wow, Lemmings looks great on the lynx... so many actual lemmings compared to other handheld versions... might need to try and pick that up!

[@JW666]

Go ahead, Pat, do the whole Lynx library 🙂

[@streetmagik3105]

Yes to a Part 3 👍

[@hikaihikonoken9052]

I got Lynx late in the game - they had even stopped making games for it. Klax was definitely my favorite on the Lynx. I miss that game. It's not the same on an emulator.

[@MrPoestyle]

That Bill And Ted Game should have been included in the Bill And Ted Collection that came out last year . I bought the physical version from Limited Run Games because I played the NES vision so much as a kid . But they only had the NES and Gameboy Bill And Ted games in the collection . And I was in the comments at the beginning of this video 😊 !!!!

[@Barcrest]

Warbirds was great, only ever played it linked with 2 systems. I only knew one other person with a lynx. Desert strike and paper boy were my favourite games on the system though.

[@rhinestoneronin9938]

Great! More please!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks

[@orinoco500]

Good video, part 3 please

[@VaterOrlaag]

I spent a lot of time with Baseball heroes, even though I didn't care about the sport IRL (still don't). It was so addictive, somehow.

[@tacaskey4665]

I would like to see a part 3... Not to be a snob, but you did get the title of the Road Warriors entrance theme sort of wrong... It is just "Iron Man" and it's by Black Sabbath...

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks for the info

[@alexhaladay4345]

i loved my Lynx. shame it was such a battery hog before the age of rechargeable batteries. I stopped using mine once the AC adapter slot broke. I can't remember all the games I had for it. APB, Chips Challenge, Hard Drivin, cyberball. Borrowed Batman Returns from someone, I don't remember who.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I rarely used it with batteries but yes, they were terrible

[@OneColdMonkey]

That was a quick half-hour!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Excellent, glad you enjoyed it

[@NEStalgia1985]

Video 250 slam dunking it. Come on 100k now patman you can do it. More videos than freaking Jeremy parish in one fifth the years so proud of you, I'll drink to your health, punch out reference sorry

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks buddy. We shall see if people continue to like my content. LOL, great comment

[@jamesmoss3424]

The Atari Lynx got great games. 😀👍🎮

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes there were a lot

[@backpackingtony1779]

It's before 11 and I'm packing a bowl to smoke while watching your new video. I'm glad I did!

[@samusvikerness661]

That’s nuts they put a whole game in Battlezone hidden for free. Like why? Lol. Warbirds looks fantastic.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Warbirds is fantastic :-)

[@F1ghtGam3r]

Checkered Flag reminds me of Pole Position by Namco

[@uncannygary1092]

Was that Toby McGuire at the end there playing a Lynx on the crapper

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Yep.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes, he told his teacher he had to "get to the crappah"

[@TheL1arL1ar]

I still remember me and my younger brother playing the crap out of put fighter on the genesis and laughing at those S&M dudes with leashes I believe.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes LOL I recall his name was Eddie with the chains

[@erneststackhouse1133]

Hey Patman you need to read this comment, you'll be glade you did! Ha-Ha! As the story goes I use to play Chips Challenge a lot back in the day! i wonder if i still have it? Because i need it back in my life! Holy Ninja Flips Patman, I've never seen Ninja Gaiden jump like that before! If the flips didn't make you want to play the Atari Lynx then the 16bit sound of iron man sure will!?! The Road Warriors with Spiked Shoulder Pads for Smashin & Breakin in a video game that has nothing to do with wrestling?!?! How cool is that?!!

[@F1ghtGam3r]

Electrocop somewhat reminds me of Xybots by Midway

[@kendallcooper8761]

great video

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks!

[@billcook4768]

I’ve never played Warbirds. But I have finished off many a Red Barron pizza.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL I've done both and they are fabulous

[@maxrage2104]

I loved warbirds!

[@theflyingninja1]

Would be cool to do a retrospective on the CD-32 and it's games. There's not a lot on KZbin about it.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I have such a soft spot in my heart for the Amiga so that is a possibility

[@ajackson1451]

Wow, didn’t know the lynx had some good games.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I've had a couple people request that so it's a possibility. Would be very detailed, not sure if my audience would enjoy that or not. Glad you enjoyed the content, hope you have a great 2024 as well

[@jamesragsdale3069]

I've got more real life experience with TGFX than lynx, and that's not saying much. I feel like the Lynx could have been a beast with better third party support.

[@throwdownthenhoedown9074]

maybe it was stated previously or i missed it here, but that's definitely a young Toby Maguire in that commercial at the end.

There were a few quite a few cancelled games they showed screenshots for back in the day. I remember seeing pics of Rolling Thunder, Road Riot 4WD, and Vindicators. Then there was some weird 3D UFO grid game and a 3/4 view RPG.
