</span><p><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="color: black;">I would especially like to thank Shinto
for submitting his memories of various Atari Lynx games he’s owned in
the past to The Atari Lynx HandyCast…they are greatly appreciated. And
you should all check out Shinto’s wonderful <b>Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast</b>; it’s definitely worth listening to, even if you’ve never owned a Jaguar. You can find it <b><a href="http://jaguar.gamebygamepodcast.com/" style="color: black;">here</a></b>.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: courier;">
</span><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="color: black;">Many, many
thanks also go to Zerbinator for his continued support. His

His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever
made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the
courage to begin this podcast. Please, check out his don’t-miss
podcast, even if you’re not an Atari 2600 collector; you should also

The firmware in this version includes the new <a href="https://atarigamer.com/lynx/game/LynxSDMenuLoader2/794518282">Menu Loader 2</a>, created by <strong>Igor Kromin</strong> of <a href="https://atarigamer.com/">AtariGamer.com</a> (with help from <strong>Alex Thissen</strong> of <a href="https://atarilynxdeveloper.wordpress.com/">Diary of a Lynx Developer</a> and <strong>Karri Kaksonen</strong> of <a href="http://whitelynx.fi/">White Lynx</a>). The cost of the cased version, which fits into the Lynx II only, or for the uncased version, which fits into either the Lynx I or the Lynx II, is £70, plus £2 shipping inside the UK or £5 shipping outside the UK. To get on the pre-order list for the next batch of multicards, which will be renamed the Lynx GD (for Lynx Game Drive), simply add a post to the RetroHQ posting in the Atari Age Lynx Forums <strong><a href="http://atariage.com/forums/topic/250637-lynx-multi-card-preorders/">here</a></strong>. Be sure to indicate Lynx I or Lynx II, cased or uncased.</span><br />

BennVenn's version does not include the VGA output mod, which McWill includes in his kit. Right now, only the drop-in screen for the Lynx II is available; the screen for the Lynx I model will be available later. As of this episode's recording date, interested Lynxters are able to purchase the Lynx II screen when it is not sold out; check <a href="https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/collections/aftermarket-lcds/products/lynx-drop-in-lcd-kit?variant=20550976831591"><strong>here</strong></a> for availability. The price is US$50 for the Chinese-manufactured screen or US$60 for the Japanese-manufactured screen. For an additional US$5, Lynxters can also purchase the recommended 3D-printed frame bracket for the screen that was created by Igor at <strong><a href="https://atarigamer.com/">AtariGamer</a></strong>.</span><br />

Carl from Songbird Productions says on his AtariAge Lynx forums post: "I don't have imminent plans for most of these games, but thought it was worthwhile to build my IP library when the opportunities came." Congrats to Karl, and many thanks to him for nearly 30 years of his company's commitment to the Atari Lynx!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span>In this episode I cover the very last game originally developed at Epyx, Inc., <strong><i>Zarlor Mercenary</i></strong>, released in October of 1990. </span><span>Alphabetically, it's also the very last original-release game for the Lynx. Plus, as far as I know, it's the only Lynx game that has "Mendicants"...or "Medicants"...or "Merdicants." I've included vital statistics, credits, gameplay, reviews and ratings, some fun facts and trivia, and some listener feedback about the game.</span></div></span></div>

It will be available as a <a href="http://luchs-soft.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=248">single cartridge</a> or <a href="http://luchs-soft.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=249">two cartridges</a> (for 2-player gaming); both versions will come complete with curved lip-style cartridge(s) inside a full-color carton, along with a manual, poster, and collectible lapel pin. The game can be played by up to eight players using the ComLynx cable.<br />The other game, <a href="http://luchs-soft.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=247"><strong>QuadroMania</strong></a>, was discovered in 2013 by Alex Thissen, a.k.a. LX.net (who provided high-res scans of his hand-drawn <em>Slime World</em> maps <a href="https://atarilynxhandycast.net/?p=864"><strong>here</strong></a>) and who released a very limited run of 20 copies of the game in 2017 through Beta Phase Games. Now, Alex has secured permission from RPM Software (Robert Maidorn) to market a new run of the game through Luchs Soft; it will also come complete with a curved lip-style cartridge inside a full-color carton, along with a manual, poster, and collectible lapel pin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: courier;">I would especially like to thank Shinto for submitting his memories of various Atari Lynx games he's owned in the past to The Atari Lynx HandyCast...they are greatly appreciated. And you should all check out Shinto's wonderful <strong>Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast</strong>; it's definitely worth listening to, even if you don't own or have never even seen a Jaguar console.

<span style="font-family: courier;">Finally, my thanks to Ferg of <strong>The Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast</strong>. His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the courage to begin this podcast. Please, check out his don't-miss podcast, even if you're not an Atari 2600 collector; or at least visit his website <strong><a href="http://2600gamebygamepodcast.blogspot.com/">here</a></strong>.</span></div>

I’ve included vital statistics, credits, gameplay, reviews and ratings, some fun facts and trivia, and some listener feedback about the game. And with the ComLynx cable it’s an eight-player game, so grab seven more of your friends for a gooey, messy Slime-O-Rama!</div></span></div>

The first one comes from <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">StarForcePilot</span> on the Atari Age Lynx forums, also known as Marcel J. de Haan on Facebook. He installed the McWill screen and the VGA output jack into his Lynx I, then he decided not to stop there. So he created a handy (<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">see what I did there</em>) stand for the Lynx I, and he also installed a DB9 connector on the Lynx to allow an external controller to be used to play games on the static console. More recently, he also replaced the battery compartment with a generic rechargeable lithium-ion battery along with a generic variable step-down converter. It’s really a clever design, and StarForcePilot documented his progress in completing the project beautifully with a pictorial essay on his blogpage. I highly recommend that my listeners check out the blog <a href="https://starforcepi.wordpress.com/author/starforcepilot/" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #311010; text-decoration: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in 0s, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">here</span></a>.</span></div>

This project involved taking an old 4-switch woody Atari VCS (2600) console, gutting it, and rebuilding it to accept Lynx cartridges, with an HDMI output display. The console has also been trimmed in bright yellow paint, and the result is quite breathtaking.

Among the titles planned for an re-release, beginning as early as October of 2018, are <em style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Championship Rally</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">CyberVirus</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Lexis</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Loopz</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Ponx</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Remnant: PW3D</span>, </em>and<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;"> SFX</em></span>. Carl at Songbird confirms that the cartridges will be curved lip-style, and they’ll be packaged in CD jewel cases, but with better quality labels and inserts this time around. Also, as of this recording, Songbird still has a limited number of copies available of the SuperFighterTeam classic homebrew title <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Zaku</em></span>, considered one of the best games for the Atari Lynx ever. It goes without saying that Carl Forhan at Songbird is definitely helping out a whole new crop of Lynx collectors to add to their game collections, so kudos to him for ramping up production again on titles that would otherwise be unobtainium <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">(yes, Monty, that IS a word, too)</em>.

Evidence of this growing interest is the continued development and production of new homebrew titles. Several sources (<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">AtariGamer.com</span>, <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Atari Age</span> and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Kieren Hawken</span>) have recently published news about no less than five new homebrew game projects for the Lynx. The first one is a new isometric RPG game called <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lacim’s Legacy</em></span>, in development by Martin Wendt, Kamil Wolnikowski and Dan Thoreson. The second one is a new <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Joust-Donkey Kong</em>-style platformer called <em style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Bentley Bear’s Honey Hunt</span>,</em>currently in development by Benjamin Mewes. The third one is a port of the classic SNES action title <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Bomberman</em> called <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">BomberCats</em></span>, now being developed by Alex “LordKraken” Genoud and Turbo Laser Lynx. The fourth one is a horizontal scrolling space action shooter called <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Captain Harlynx</em></span> being developed by Albine Marlier. The fifth one is a version of Italian checkers called <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Dama</em></span> by Atari Ager MVirtuale that, after a year and a half, is near completion. And the sixth one is an action/shooter called <em style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Grime</span> <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">6502</span></em>, currently in development by Chibi Akuma. With these six new homebrew games, along with the previously mentioned 8 new and re-released titles from Luchs Soft, and with the distribution of no less than 10 previous after-market and homebrew titles by Songbird Productions, there will have been at least 24 Atari Lynx games planned or in production during the course of 2018. There can be no doubt now that the 29-year-old Atari Lynx console, along with its still-expanding game library, is experiencing a renaissance of popularity. And this Lynxter for one is very happy about that indeed.</span></div>

<b><span>New Podcast for the Atari 8-Bit Computers!</span></b><br />
<span>There’s another Atari podcast in town, and that town is actually in New Zealand. <strong>The XLXE Podcast</strong> covers Atari 8-bit computers and other shenanigans. It is hosted by Adam and Bob, and they’re very informative and a lot of fun to listen to, especially with those funny accents. It really is great to hear a podcast about Atari from someplace other than the USA. Plus they’ve already got two episodes up on the feeds already. But be warned: it’s not NSFW. So plug in your earbuds and give this wonderful podcast a try. You can find the podcast at their Twitter page <a href="https://twitter.com/xlxepodcast"><strong>here</strong></a>.</span><br />

<strong><span>Let's All Give the Retro Video Gamer Forums Some Love!</span></strong><br />
<span>The administrators of The Retro Video Gamer forums has sent out a call to arms to all of the retro video gaming community: <em>I would like to appeal to those who are real retro supporters. Surely a retro forum is now a rare breed. Unless we continue to use the site [and] strike up convos, then sadly the RVG forums will continue to decline and I want to stop that. Once its gone that will be too late. So please take a moment, as I can't simply allow constant promo threads of your YouTube channels or podcast feeds (but you’re more than welcome to bump them). Please put your expertise into the site; there are a million and one topics for you all to participate in so please come and keep a retro forum about your retro gaming hobby alive. </em><em>P.S.: Along with the above we will be performing a zero poster cull, so any new members who have yet to do an intro thread please pop on and post one now to avoid the cull.</em> <em>Cheers all.</em> So to all of my listeners, please consider supporting Eugenio, Jamie, and others at the Retro Video Gamer website at <a href="http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/"><strong>www.retrovideogamer.co.uk</strong></a>. Thank you!</span><br />

Included is a complete rundown of the gameplay, music, and sound effects for <i>Xenophobe.</i> I also highlight a few reviews of the game, some information about the prices that collectors can expect to pay for a <i>Xenophobe</i> cartridge on eBay and other retailers, some trivia and fun facts about the game, and some very welcome feedback about the game from some of my loyal listeners. So charge up your fists and phazers and lets kick some Xeno butt!</div></span>

All of the game database entries are available for tracking your carts, boxes, manuals, and posters, or whether you have a given game new in the box (NIB). You can also track the health/condition of the boxes, manuals, and posters. It's a really cool tool for knowing what you have (or still need to get) in your collection. And it provides a<em> handy</em> (see what I did there?) stats-at-a-glance box. Best of all, it doesn't require any logins or passwords to use it.

<span>Finally, my thanks to Ferg of <strong>The Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast</strong>. His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the courage to begin this podcast.

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">New Podcast: Into the Vertical Blank</span><br />
<span>There is a new Atari podcast in town; it’s called Into the Vertical Blank, and it is hosted by twin brothers, Steve Fulton and Jeff “8BitRocket” Fulton, who grew up “Atari,” or as they call it, in The Vertical Blank. The Vertical Blank is space between the lines; it’s the where work occurs that you never see on screen. In their podcast they discuss Atari computers and systems, new and old, review new games that they collect, talk about all the systems, and the significance they had in their lives and in the lives of others, and they even talk about them in a historical context, and how they are being used now. They do all this in an effort to finally understand the answer to this existential question: what does it mean to have grown up Atari in the generation of the Vertical Blank? I’ve been listening to this podcast lately, and it’s a lot of fun to hear two brothers relate their own experiences “growing up Atari.” Check it out <a href="http://www.8bitrocket.com/2018/04/25/s1e0-into-the-vertical-blank-podcast-newbie/" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #311010; text-decoration: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in 0s, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">here</span></a>.</span></span></div>

<span><strong>Initial retail price: </strong>Originally, a free <em>California Games</em> cartridge/manual was included with the Lynx I console for a retail price of <strong>$179.95</strong>. By April of 1991, the same Lynx I console/<em>California Games</em> package had been augmented with a mail-in certificate for the free purchase of an additional cartridge, and lowered in price to <strong>$149.95</strong>. <em>California Games</em> was later sold separately in its own carton at an unknown retail price.<strong><br />Cartridge: </strong>128kb stereo cartridge available in three styles (flat, ridged, and curved lip)</span><br />

A larger version of the carton was sold overseas in the European and Asian markets.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: courier;">New Atari Lynx Trading Cards (Series 1) Now Available</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: courier;"><span>Marc Oberhaüser on Atari Age is selling copies of his new trading card set for the Atari Lynx. He has already created trading card sets for the Atari 5200, the Atari 7800, and the Mattel Intellivision. The cards look fantastic, and I’ve already ordered the first set, which includes 55 cards: one each for 50 of the first games released by Atari, with the remaining five cards covering the console itself, game rarity scores, and additional information. Cost of the first set is €37.50 (roughly US$44.47), which includes shipping worldwide, and the set has already begun shipping out to those with pre-orders. You can read the Atari Age forum thread about the card set by clicking <a href="http://atariage.com/forums/topic/273372-atari-lynx-trading-card-series-1/"><strong>here</strong></a>. If you’re interested in owning this must-have accessory for Atari Lynx collectors, you can PM Marc Oberhaüser on the Atari Age Lynx forums, and he’ll get you on the purchase list.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: courier;">Interview with Chuck Sommerville</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: courier;">Many thanks to Bill Kendrick, curator of the Atari Party in Davis, CA every year, and Shinto of The Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast, both of whom alerted me to a recent Retro Hour podcast interview with Chuck Sommerville, creator of the original <em>California Games</em>, as well as the Lynx game <em>Chip’s Challenge</em>, and with whom I share a birthday (I think I’m a little bit older). He also served as a consultant for the Lynx port of <em>California Games</em>. It’s a very interesting interview with one of the greats in the retro gaming industry, and I highly recommend you all check it out; I have a link for the interview <a href="https://theretrohour.com/california-games-chips-challenge-with-chuck-sommerville-the-retro-hour-ep118/"><strong>here</strong></a>. And you can be sure that I'll be exploring Chuck's biography and career more in-depth in EPISODE 09: <em>Chip's Challenge</em>, coming up in June.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: courier;"><span>I would especially like to thank Shinto for submitting his memories of various Atari Lynx games he's owned in the past to The Atari Lynx HandyCast...they are greatly appreciated. And you should all check out Shinto's wonderful <strong>Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast</strong>; it's definitely worth listening to, even if you don't own or have never even seen a Jaguar console. You can find it <strong><a href="http://jaguar.gamebygamepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</span><br />

His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the courage to begin this podcast.

<span><strong>Release Date: </strong>By<strong> </strong>April<strong> </strong>of<strong> </strong>1990</span><br />
<span><strong>Initial retail price: </strong>$39.95<strong><br /> Cartridge: </strong>128kb stereo cartridge available in two styles (ridged and curved lip)</span><br />
<span><strong>Genre:</strong> arcade castle maze crawl/shoot-em-up for one player on the console, or two-four players using the ComLynx cable</span><br />
<span><strong>Working Title: </strong><em>Time Quests and Treasure Chests</em> (while under development at Epyx, Inc.)</span><br />

Both the Action window and the Statistics/Radar/Inventory window remain the same size regardless of the orientation, but each window is repositioned. Do you think it would have made a difference in gameplay, or in the ultimate success of the game?</span></span></h6>
<span style="font-family: courier;"><span><strong>Screen/playfield orientation:</strong> portrait (vertical)</span><br />
<span><strong>Other ports:</strong> This game was never ported to any other systems</span><br />
<span><strong>Inspired by: </strong>Various <em>Gauntlet</em> arcade games released between 1985 and 1988; even though this game is usually included in the <em>Gauntlet</em> franchise that appeared in game consoles and home computers of the day (1985-2005), its inclusion in the franchise was a marketing ploy to capitalize on the <em>Gauntlet</em> name, and as such it is not considered an essential part of the <em>Gauntlet </em>canon</span><br />
<span><strong>Legacy: </strong><em>Gauntlet III: The Final Quest</em> (pseudo-sequel), released in 1991 for the Atari ST, the Commodore 64, the ZX Spectrum, and the Amstrad CPC.</span><br />
<span><strong>Carton:</strong> standard-tab regular-size carton (5 3/8" by 4 3/8" by 7/8") in full color; cover art was used for 1993 game <em>Gauntlet IV</em> for the Sega Genesis</span><br />
<span><strong>Manual:</strong> stapled 28-page regular-size booklet (4 7/8" by 3 3/4") in monochrome</span><br />

<span>A developer in Amsterdam named Ninjabba on the <a href="http://atariage.com/forums/forum/13-atari-lynx/">Atari Age Lynx Forums</a> is getting ready to release his new Atari Lynx JRPG title, <em><strong>Wyvern Tales</strong>.</em> Those who responded to his announcement a year ago on Atari Age to reserve a copy (or who subscribed on his <a href="http://www.wyverntales.com/">website</a>) have already been notified by email that the first batch of games have already been manufactured and are in stock and ready for purchase (full disclosure: I was one of the subscribers). Ninjabba goes further in saying that as soon as the <a href="http://www.wyverntales.com/">website</a> for <em>Wyvern Tales</em> is updated to accept reservations/purchases, anyone who is interested can log on and do so, depending of course upon availability. The final <em>Wyvern Tales </em>package contains an original looking Lynx box, game manual, and a curved lip style game cartridge (see photo above), and retails for <strong>£45</strong> (or <strong>US$56</strong>) shipped. The developer has been posting updates on the <a href="http://atariage.com/forums/forum/13-atari-lynx/">Atari Age Lynx Forums</a>, so check there for the latest information.</span><br />

<strong><span>Displaying My TI-99/4a Collection (and My Atari Lynx Collection) at Vintage Computer Festival 6.0 in Roswell, GA on April 21 and 22</span></strong><br />
<span>In just a few days, I will be hosting a display booth at the Vintage Computer Festival SouthEast 6.0 at the new Computer Museum of America in Roswell, GA. Along with my large “Experience the TI-99/4a” display, I will also have <strong>“A Look at the Lynx,”</strong> a smaller display showcasing the Atari Lynx and its library of games. I’ll have two working Atari Lynx II consoles from 1991, one of which sporting the McWill LCD screen upgrade, and both consoles will be available for hands-on gaming. Additionally, I’ll have my collection of over 45 games, all with original manual booklets or posters and most in original cartons, along with various cases and other add-on accessories. Take-one handouts outlining the brief history of the Atari Lynx and its legacy are also available. So if you’re in the Atlanta area that weekend, be sure to stop by my booth and say “hi.” But bring lots of AA batteries if you want to play with the Lynx…just kidding; I will provide the power.</span><br />

<span><br /></span>
<span>I would also like to thank Montague Habersham, or Monty as I know him. He is my podcasting assistant for The Handycast, and he also serves as King of the Under-Appreciated Artificial Podcasting Assistants Union, or the palindromically named UAPAU. And he graciously agreed to appear with the old man from Scene 24 in the opening vignette of this episode. Thanks, Monty.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>I would especially like to thank Shinto for submitting his memories of various Atari Lynx games he's owned in the past to The Atari Lynx HandyCast...they are greatly appreciated. And you should all check out Shinto's wonderful <strong>Atari Jaguar Game by Game Podcast</strong>; it's definitely worth listening to, even if you don't own or have never even seen a Jaguar console. You can find it <strong><a href="http://jaguar.gamebygamepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Many, many thanks also go to Zerbinator for his continued support. His encouragement and expertise are very much appreciated by me. You can find all of his fun-to-listen-to podcasts <strong><a href="https://zerbinator.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></strong>, including my favorite, <strong><a href="https://zerbinator.wordpress.com/category/all-podcast/please-stand-by/">Please Stand By</a></strong>.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Finally, my thanks to Ferg of <strong>The Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast</strong>. His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the courage to begin this podcast. Please, check out his don't-miss podcast, even if you're not an Atari 2600 collector; or at least visit his website <strong><a href="http://2600gamebygamepodcast.blogspot.com/">here</a></strong>.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>I hope you enjoy this episode of The Atari Lynx HandyCast.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: courier;">Finally, my thanks to Ferg of <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">The Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast</span>. His inspiration and dedication to covering every game cartridge ever made for the Atari 2600 (I think over 1000 of them!) is what gave me the courage to begin this podcast. Please, check out his don’t-miss podcast, even if you’re not an Atari 2600 collector; or at least visit his website <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><a href="http://2600gamebygamepodcast.blogspot.com/" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; box-shadow: rgb(23, 7, 7) 0px -1px 0px inset; box-sizing: inherit; color: #311010; text-decoration: none; transition: color 80ms ease-in 0s, box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s, -webkit-box-shadow 130ms ease-in-out 0s;">here</a></span>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: courier;">Finally, I have a special invitation to all of my loyal listeners: If you happen to be in the Atlanta area during the weekend of April 21-22, 2018, please make it a point to attend Vintage Computer Festival SouthEast 6.0 at <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1rem;">the Computer Museum of America in its new location in Roswell, GA. I will be there, along with two displays: “Experience the TI-99/4a,” a large setup that I’ve hosted at the show for three years running, and (more importantly to my listeners) “A Look at the Lynx,” a smaller display with two working Lynx II consoles (one with the McWill LCD upgrade), about 45 game cartridges, and several Atari Lynx accessories. Both consoles will be available for game-playing and everyone is welcome to try out their favorite titles. But bring your own AA batteries (just kidding; I’ll provide power for the Lynxes).

<span style="font-family: courier;"><span><div style="text-align: center;">In this episode, I cover <em>Electrocop</em>, the second game (in part number order) and one of the five launch titles released for the Atari Lynx in September of 1989. Included is a complete rundown of the gameplay, music, and sound effects. I also provide how much collectors can expect to pay for an Atari Lynx <em>Electrocop</em> cartridge on eBay, as well as a few tips and hints. Plus, I have some feedback about <em>Electrocop</em> from some of my loyal listeners.</div></span>

Developer Greg Omi's recollection: "It's funny, but I can't remember if it was supposed to be a sequel to <i>Impossible Mission</i> or not. I remember writing a story and basic game design and pitching it to RJ Mical, but I don't remember if they were asking for a sequel."</span><br />
<span><strong>Other ports:</strong> <em>Electrocop</em> was never ported to any other system, although there is evidence it was planned for the Atari 7800.</span><br />

Please submit text and/or audio submissions to mark@atarilynxhandycast.net. Or you can submit it to the Atari Lynx HandyCast Facebook page (facebook.com/atarilynxhandycast). Or you can send it to me through Twitter (I think): Mark@LynxHandyCast. Or you can send a letter. Or a message in a bottle. Or you can use an Aldis lamp. Or semaphore. Or just send me a raven (as a <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">GoT</em> fan, I wouldn’t mind that at all).</span></div>
