This is the best collection yet for the Evercade. The games all play amazingly well as the Atari Lynx was set up very similar to the Evercade. California Games is a great game to play when you have a minute or two to play, although it's hard to put down when you get on a roll and want to beat your last score. California Games- Half Pipe and Surfing are tricky to learn, but a blast when you master them. The Evercade's save state feature also let's you save high scores. Blue Lightning is a combat flight sim that was amazing for it's time and still fun to play today. Chips Challenge, Electrocop, Gates of Zendocon, Slime World, and Zarlor Mercenary are epic games that take weeks to complete if you write down the code and take the time to finish them. Chips Challenge is a puzzle solving game that really is a challenge. Checkered Flag one of Atari's race games the only game in the collection not designed by Epix. Not a bad game but a step below the rest. Hoping to see other Atari Lynx games like Gauntlet, Xenophobia and Shanghai for the Evercade in the future. This cartridge is a must have for anyone into retro video games.

I bought this for mere curiosity I heard good things of blue lightning but nothing more other titles are enjoyable however gates of zendocon starts really boring but I levels are short, zarlor mercenaries is impossible with regular mercenaries after the second level so use codes overall yeah I'm happy with my first cartridge for my pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lynx Games Work Great on Evercade
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020

This is a great addition to the Evercade library. Since the Lynx was also a portable system, the graphics and controls translate nicely to the Evercade's screen and button layout. While this doesn't have as many types of games as the first Lynx cartridge, I think each individual game is of higher quality overall.

A good collection of Lynx. A better selection that the first one in my opinion. There really isn’t a bad game here except for maybe a couple of the California Games sections.

The Evercade console is great for what it is. Each cartridge has something for everyone especially if you're into retro gaming. The Lynx is an acquired taste but some of these still hold up today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A big part of the reason I became an Evercade fan, and why you should too.
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
Style: Lynx Cartridge 2
It was early in the pandemic when I was lying in bed, reading about the state of the Atari Lynx in 2020 on my phone. I had recently dusted mine off and I was wondering what had happened in the 20 years I had been ignoring the homebrew development scene.

I stumbled on a news article about the Evercade. I read it over and over: a NEW handheld system, with CARTRIDGES, and they were going to have TWO Lynx cartridges? I got out of bed and paced back and forth. Was this some weird pandemic dream?

No, no it was not. It was reality, and at long last reality has come to my Evercade's cartridge slot.

Here's the deal: this cartridge, Collection 2, consists almost completely of games by Epyx Software, legendary developers and the inventors of the Atari Lynx, which Atari bought and rebranded. As you would expect, the creators of the Lynx were some of the most gifted developers for it, and this collection, while much smaller than Collection 1, has some of the system's most iconic games. Both are great cartridges, and I marginally prefer the first one, but this one is a must-have too.

Launch games (1989):

California Games: the iconic sports game of the 80s, this collection of games challenges you to surf, BMX, skateboard, and hacky sack your way through some really rad graphics. In thirty years of playing it I have never figured out what the heck I'm supposed to do on the skateboard, and I've never managed to make it very far in the BMX course without a painful wipeout, but surfing and footbag remain enjoyable ways to spend some time.

Chips Challenge: for me, the highlight of the Lynx library. I was addicted to this on the PC at school when I was a kid and I was really jealous of the kids who could play it on the go. In terms of animation and gamefeel, it's not the most impressive, but the puzzles and challenges it hurls at you are some of the best I've ever seen. After all these years, I still have a great and frustrating time with it.

Gates of Zendocon: not the best shmup, but this horizontally scrolling shooter is very strange and entertaining. It starts incredibly slow, but picks up after the first five minutes, unleashing a wave of bizarre creatures and background that gives the weirdest of the Turbografx library a run for its money. It is kind of janky, but it's also weirdly addictive. Give it a try.

Blue Lightning: an astonishing graphics powerhouse, this launch title looks better than all but a handful of Genesis scaler flight sims. It also plays really well. Slower than Afterburner and more ambitious than the Genesis's Afterburner II, it remains a really impressive and entertaining playthrough today.

Post launch (1990):

Electro Cop: you will have a hard time believing that this game was possible on a 1990 handheld, but it was. It is shocking graphically, with layers and layers and layers of sprites in 3D. Gameplay is pretty great too. Try to play it the way it was meant to be played: writing down the passwords for the doors so you can skip waiting for your ICE codebraker to break them. It has one of the most bizarre and interesting collections of endings of any game of the era, including the endings where you die.

Zarlor Mercenary: this fast vertically scrolling shooter throws comical numbers of enemies and bullets at you. I am not sure how you are supposed to survive, but I don't. It's still fun while it lasts and easily equals the Raiden port that emerged at the end of the system's life graphically, if not in gameplay.

Todd’s Adventures in Slime World: a substantial Metroidvania from long before the term existed. Cheap deaths abound, but save states make it a lot easier to make progress. It's pretty amazing how large the game world was, but more amazing still was the fact that you could play cooperatively with 8 Lynx consoles linked together. Sadly, the Evercade doesn't support this, the game's number 1 achievement. Nevertheless, save states make it much more fun to play single player on the Evercade than it ever was on the Lynx.

Sadly, not all of the Epyx Lynx games are included. The shallow and fun Gauntlet: The Third Encounter (a game Epyx developed as their own IP and Atari branded as Gauntlet even though the player classes include nerds and androids) and stellar arcade port Xenophobe were left off presumably because of licensing details. I'd love to see these, and many more, Lynx games on future cartridges.

There is one non-Epyx game on this cart: Checkered Flag, an Atari title released in 1991, comparatively late in the life of the system. This is a fun racer and impressive to see, and much better than the Jaguar game of the same name. It is a little bland compared to the bizarreness and creativity of the Epyx games, but it's a great way to kill some time.

To look at it another way, spend a little time searching for the prices of these games. While it's not the crazy value proposition the first collection brings, this collection still represents a value six or more times greater than the cost of this cartridge. And the Lynx console alone is hard to come by in good condition these days. (That said, after you spend some time with these two collections, I think you'll join me in becoming a Lynx owner.)

The Lynx is one of my favorite systems ever. I own the entire original release library and a good 75% of the major releases in its second life. Even so, I really love having these games on a system I don't have to worry about as much. I'm really glad I got an Evercade for many of the other cartridges that have come out, but it's truly amazing to finally have this one in my hands.

Consegna perfetta e tutto, ma dalla descrizione e dalla dimensione della cartuccia nella foto avevo capito si trattasse di una multicart per il Lynx originale. In realtà ha le stesse dimensioni ma non funziona in quanto è creata per la console Evercade (di cui non sapevo nemmeno l'esistenza). Dato che il thumbnail è piccolo, sarebbe importante che la cosa fosse specificata in modo più chiaro per evitare questa situazione per altri utenti come me.

Segundo gran recopilatorio de la Atari LYnx con alguno de los juegos más emblematicos de dicha consola, que se trataba de una videoconsola poco conocida, pero con grandes juegos, y a muy buen precio, una estupenda forma de conocer grandes juegos que pasaron algo desapercibidos en su epoca por poco dinero y en formato cartucho, con muy buenos acabados, y con unas cajas muy coleccionables con su número en el dorso. Sin duda, merece mucho la pena su compra.
