goldenpp72 | 1,235 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) So today I managed to get my hands on this one and the manual looks extremely fake, but looking around it.. Might be real? Was curious if anyone had one to reference, pictures don't help much just it looks like they spent 1 second printing it. The texture of it feels just like normal printer paper and you can see stuff cut off. Edited April 28, 2021 by goldenpp72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not, I could take one but a picture doesn't really help determine texture. This feels like uh, newspaper. I'll throw a picture up though just in case.

I just assumed because you didn't post the title of the game, that a picture would have been included EDIT: Just noticed the title in the thread title. I didn't see the entire title when I opened it. I'm dumb. Edited April 28, 2021 by the_wizard_666 I'm dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just now, goldenpp72 said: The title of the game is in the title? Yeah, I saw that, just edited my post I'm a dumbass. I can't help though, because although I have a ton of Lynx games, I don't have Desert Strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Well, I did look it up on Google. The white bars on the manual cover strike me as being odd because the handful of manual pictures I saw don't have them. That said, it's hard to say for sure because Telegames may simply have ran off more, making it a variant instead of a fake. But again, I'm no expert, so I couldn't say for sure.

On eBay you see 2 versions with different cart versions, so it's a bit confusing for sure. One listing notes it as a 'second release' Edited April 28, 2021 by goldenpp72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Might I suggest asking over at AtariAge? They may be able to offer more aid than you'll find here on a generalist collecting site. I'm leaning to a variant, but it's hard to say for sure, and those guys know their stuff.

I looked there to see if prior existing info existed but maybe, the images they have on their site aren't the same as mine anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I mean ask on the forum there. They're pretty knowledgeable. The database images do kinda suck though, I checked them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyNotZoidberg | 586 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The same seller has other copies of the game but with proper manuals. compare the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One listing notes it as a 'second release' That's feasible. There are three known cartridge types, and many games were done with more than one version. AA's database doesn't list a cart variant for Desert Strike, but they don't have everything listed either. It's quite possible that it IS a variant, but I'm not an expert on it.
