Lynx games on the Turbo, what games would you choose?

Chip's Challenge!

This!!

I played it more on the PC than on the Lynx, but still a fun little game

I played the crap out of Chip's Challenge on Windows 3.1!

I don't think there was anything on the Lynx that wasn't better somewhere else. Go to the original first.

Also, arcade Ninja Gaiden was not nearly as good as the original.

You mean that you prefer some other version to the arcade original?

Allow me a correction. The NES NG incarnation is better than the arcade version. That said, both came out in 1988, so they might have been developed in parallel rather than the NES version simply being a re-imagining of the arcade.

The arcade version was released almost a year earlier, but like Strider it doesn't matter if the NES version was started before the arcade game was released. The games are completely different styles/genres and many people like arcade games from our childhood and would to see them on our favorite consoles. Plus the PCE already has NES Ninja Gaiden, but could use more beat em ups.

I know that the NES Ninja Gaiden is much more popular, but if it was judged without blind nostalgia, by the standards people use to criticise non-classics, the gameplay would be considered broken, like Night Creatures.

Yeah, I don't know when in 1988 the arcade NG was released. I played it some in my local arcade and was quickly frustrated. As a beat 'em up, I find it to be a poor one. Your attacks seem to have no priority. An enemy can almost always overpower your attacks and usually has better range. There are a lot of great beat 'em ups out there and I don't think this one is one of them. The PCE homebrew/porting scene doesn't need games like this. It needs better ones.

Well I liked it. And I LOVE the music.

But for general beat 'em ups, I'd rather have Alien Storm.

Someone mentioned STUN Runner(which, techinicaly is an arcade game).  Originally, I just didn't think the Turbo could do it, since we can't do true scaling(I'm assuming the Lynx uses sprites & tiles for its version), & we really can't push any poly's(it was a polygonal game, wasn't it, or was it something different).  However, Gunboat & Falcom have "some" poly's.  Maybe it could be done with a mix of tiles & poly's?

Faceball also does polygons, but it's in a window, and even then it's kinda chuggish.

NG arcade is teh cool!  Yeah, it's not perfect, but I still love being able to grab onto overhead stuff, & flipping enemies, etc.  If a conversion was ever done, I'd personally want to tweak the gameplay ever so slightly so it more fair.

I forgot about Faceball, I only remember it chugging on multiplayer.  I wasn't sure if those were poly's though.

Oh, NG arcade had a lot of neat ideas, and the music was pretty good, but the final implementation of those ideas was pretty weak. It needed some additional refinement, IMO.

[MotherGunner]

Too easy; Viking Child. Zarlor Mercenary, Rygar, California Games, and Basketbrawl!

[Keith Courage]

I've always loved the game STUN RUNNER. Especially the arcade version but the lynx wasn't too bad either.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Actually, STUN Runner is one of the main reasons I originally bought a Lynx BITD, I think the other reason was for Ninja Gaiden!

[lord_cack]

.... Rygar....

Nah, I don't like this version, I take the NES one though 

[Mishran]

I used to plug an endless supply of quarters into the Arcade Ninja Gaiden as a kid. I was hooked on it. Sure it has it's faults, but what game doesn't? I'd love to see it on the PCE!

I know this is offtopic, but how about a PCE port of the NES version of Strider? It would be neat to see a version of that game without so much flicker and jitteryness.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Deffinitly, that's one of those NES spinoff's I'd love to see on the Turbo someday!
