Game On | Combat Lynx | Commodore 64 (2017x1)

:

We take Combat Lynx by Durell Software for a spin on the C64. A 1984 release which is playable on keyboard, but really demands 2 joysticks to master as I find out during an appalling display of helicopter piloting. Positives: Free roaming psuedo 3D with contorted landscapes, and in depth controls for flight and weapons systems Negatives: Need some serious time put into it to master it even on the easiest level. Probably a lot easier with two joysticks however. Impressive stuff for 1984. Music Credit: 8bit Betty "Was that away message for me?"
