Hot Lynx news!

Midnight Software is developing the smash arcade hit, Relief Pitcher,
for
the Lynx.  The game will be 4 megs (512K)
and will be released in 1993.

Another Lynx developer named Image is also working on a new 4 meg title,
and it sounds like a winner to me!  All
we have so far is a name, but what a name
it is:  Alien vs. Predator

More Lynx sports titles will FINALLY hit the store shelves in October.
Expect to see Baseball Heroes, NFL Football,
and World Class Soccer.

YEA! YEA! YEA!  SPORTS PROGRAMS!

YEA! YEA! YEA!  Alien vs. Preditor! (but we all know that Alien will win
because of their blood type - A for acid).

Yea! Yea! Yea!  Relief Pitcher!  My favorite!

I've got an update on the status of Eye of the Beholder for the Lynx.

Altho the game program itself has been complete for a couple of months,
it was just recently altered to take
advantage of a change in Atari's plans for
battery back-up on games.  Some re-programming had to be done, from
what I understand, to take advantage of the
new scheme.  Instead of using a battery
back-up system, the game will contain an EPROM that will NOT require a
battery.  Your Lynx game card will never grow old and die!

Official word is that the game has been sent off to be manufactured, and
a release around Christmas is planned. 
That would be one *AWESOME* Lynx game to
find under the tree!

Easter Egg in Basketbrawl?

The following message comes from my BBS, STAR*LINX.  I don't yet have
Basketbrawl, so haven't tested this...

Did ya wonder why it is that all the codes to the levels follow a
certain
pattern that uses no numbers and yet there are numbers available for the
codes??? Well here's the reason why try typing in mj27 for the level
code. Did the game black out and go back to the
begining screen? Right. I knew it would... Now pick any level, and
start the game. Do you see that cool black
guy standing parallel to you? Guess what... That's Michael Jordan (M.J.
27(his number)). Now you have a partner to
help you play the game.... Does this work
for other NBA players? I don't know but try your favorite players
initials and number and find out.... Have fun!

Alien vs. Predator sounds great, but how 'bout a Rambo Vs. Rocky title?

Actually the game card will probably have an EEPROM.

Need the preceding "E" to indicate it's an electrical Eraseable Prom.
