EPISODE 12: KLAX
Feb 28
·
102 minutes
Tweet#PA2031, Published by Atari Corp. In this episode (better late than never) I cover one of the best games ever made for the Atari Lynx, KLAX, released in October of 1990. It’s also the second of three original release titles for the Lynx that is played vertically, not horizontally (Gauntlet: The Third Encounter and NFL Football are the other two). In this episode I’ve got vital statistics about KLAX, along with credits, gameplay, reviews and ratings, some fun facts and trivia, and some listener feedback about the game. KLAX VITAL STATISTICSRelease Date: October 1990 (originally scheduled for June/July 1990).Initial retail price: In the US: $34.95-$39.99; In the UK: £27.99-£35.00.Cartridge: 256k stereo curved lip-style cartridge.Genre: Falling block puzzle game for one player.Screen/playfield orientation: portrait (vertical).Based On: Coin-op arcade game KLAX, developed by Dave Akers and Mark Stephen Pierce and released by Atari Games Corporation in February of 1990.Other Ports: Amstrad CPC (1990), Atari VCS (2600) (1990; PAL-version only; NTSC-version never finished), Atari 5200 (2003), Atari 7800 (2002), Atari ST (1990), BBC Micro (1990), Commodore Amiga (1990), Commodore 64 (1990), DOS (1990), MSX (1990), Nintendo Entertainment System (1990), Nintendo Game Boy (1990), Nintendo Game Boy Color (1999), PC-88 (1990), PC-98 (1990), SAM Coupé (1990), Sega Game Gear (1991), Sega Genesis (1990), Sega Master System (1991), Sharp X68000 (1990), TurboGrafx-16 (1990), and ZX Spectrum (1990). KLAX was also released together with Marble Madness for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance (2005).Sequels: There were no sequels to this game.Levels: There are 100 levels, or “waves,” in KLAX. There are five different wave objectives for each wave: “KLAX wave,” “Diagonal wave,” “Horizontal wave,” “Points wave,” and “Tile wave.”Carton: Full-color standard-tab regular-size carton (5 3/8″ by 4 3/8″ by 7/8″). Also sold were a French version, two different Japanese versions, and a blister pack.Manual: A 12-page (including front and back covers) stapled regular-sized booklet manual in monochrome, measuring the usual 4 7/8” high by 3 ¾” wide.Languages: As far as I can determine, the manual was available in the U.S. in an English version only. KLAX CREDITSDeveloper: Tengen, Inc. (Atari Games Corporation)Programming: Greg OmiArt and Animation: Susan G. McBride, Greg Omi, Gary Johnson, K.E. RudisMusic and Sound: LX (Alex) RudisOriginal Game Developers: Mark Stephen Pierce, David Akers LYNXED INEarlier in 2019, James Boulton from RetroHQ, better known as SainT, released the next batch of his highly sought-after Lynx SD multicart to those who pre-ordered it on Atari Age.
