Here's the latest "scoop" on Lynx titles for all of you who are asking:
There are 53 Lynx titles available.  2 of
these, Fidelity Chess Challenge, and Qix,
are by Telegames.  Shadowsoft, who did Robotron and Joust, is the other
most active 3rd party developer, but we've
contracted to do their distribution for
them, so these games are considered "Atari" games. There are upwards of
25 third-party Lynx developers at the
present time; they just don't seem to be
very BUSY...! For those of you awaiting new titles, be on the
lookout for Dirty Larry - Renegade Cop, Dracula -
The Undead, Pit Fighter, Power Factor and Dinolympics.  Oh, and Joust.
I
would also wait a while before making those Christmas purchases.
Something
might be in the works for a couple of weeks from now.  (You just never
know
with those wiley little elves, do you?!?!) Bye for now!

Welcome to the #1 spectator sport in the Nation!

   In the year 2019, Humankind turned to more and more dangerous games
for
its
entertainment.  New technological advances and a massive reorganization
of
the
Nation's political structure gave rise to new breeds of spectator
sports. 
The
most popular of these games is BattleWheels, an arena combat duel
between
two
and six warriors.  The cars are Hi-Tech, heavily armored and loaded for
bear. 
The drivers are afraid of nothing.  Your job is to go into the arena,
rock
&
roll, and get out in one piece. Welcome to the world of BattleWheels.
 
  I'm Kris Johnson with Beyond Games, a third party licensee for the
Atari
Lynx.  We are a new company formed entirely of hard-core video game

players
that are tired of the lack of quality in the video game industry. We
understand games because we play them!

A list of features follows this message!!

 It's Partytime!  Thats right it looks like BattleWheels is finished! We

  There is no easy way to get through
level 2, but running through as fast as
possible seems to work best.  There are only a few really dangerous
spots
where you may need to stop and make sure it is safe to jump. The best
way
I have found to kill the penguins at
the end of level 3 is to throw acid on a
group of them. Hanging out by the far left pipe and using batarangs
works
pretty well also, but try standing on the horizontal pipe and throw acid
where the penguins are dropping.  You can
time it so the penguins will die when they
land in the water and they won't have time to fire at you. There is a
way
to skip levels and a way to make Batman
invincible. Maybe one of you easter egg
hunters can figure it out - I don't want to give it away yet.

  I don't remember if I mentioned this
before, but here it is: THE most useful
hint for the later levels in Rampart (the 2 levels on the bottom of the
map and the island level). Surround one
of the more useless castles and put a cannon above it, below it, left of
it, and right of it.  It may take a couple
of battles to get it surrounded.  The cannons will keep the castle from
being destroyed by the ground cannons.  Now
let all of the ground cannons try to attack the castle surrounded by the
cannons.  If a ship is unloading ground
cannons near that castle, leave the ship alone. Once all of the ground
cannons (about 30 I think) are trying to
attack the protected castle, they won't
bother you any more. Something else you can do if you have extra time
while building walls is put pieces far away
from your surrounded castle to attract

cannon fire from the ships. One more - try destroying the walls around
your castle before they can get hit by

fireballs. ----------
