Lynx version

Another fine example of the Lynx coin-op port legacy.

The Good
One of the few to tilt the Lynx on its side for gameplay, Klax arrived with everything intact, from the "english" on the paddle, to the graphics, to the digitzed sound. Of particular note is the stunning title tune, which is, for all intents and purposes, an Amiga Protracker module crammed into a Lynx (in stereo, no less).

The Bad
This is going to sound cliched, but there really isn't anything I personally didn't like. Some people don't like turning a Lynx on its side because most Lynx II models have uneven luminance from to bottom on the screen, which is more pronounced when you're trying to view it sideways.

The Bottom Line
A fun, frantic, fair puzzle arcade game that no-one should be without.
