Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

An unremarkable platformer that Atari has quietly kept alive across three modern collections.

Creative Software Designs developed it and Atari published it in 1991 — a straightforward run-and-jump game about rescuing a dog, originally built for the Atari 7800 and ported across.

The interesting part is its afterlife. It is one of only six Lynx titles on Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration AND it leads the Evercade Atari Lynx Collection 1 line-up. Whatever the rights situation is on the Epyx-developed classics, Atari clearly owns this one outright, and it shows.
