- Hmmm. In this genre, for the Lynx, the closest titles available would be THE
- FIDELITY ULTIMATE CHESS CHALLENGE (Western Chess for one or two players) and
- ISHIDO: THE WAY OF STONES (translation of the Accolade computer
- puzzle/strategy game). I don't think anyone's done a head-to-head comparison
- of the chess titles (CHESSMASTER 2000 on the Game Gear vs. FIDELITY on the
- Lynx). I do have reviews for the Lynx titles, though, if you want to read 'em.
-
- An upcoming Lynx title is supposedly OPERATION DESERT STORM, which has been
- hinted as a wargame/simulation. Dunno any more about it, though.

-
- The only "traditional" RPG on the Lynx right now would be DRACULA THE
- UNDEAD, though it's more adventuring than role-playing. More RPG titles are
- expected to be released in 1993, most notably DAEMONSGATE, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
- (translations of the computer games), and THE GUARDIANS: STORM OVER DORIA (an
- original RPG for 1-4 players). In contrast, the Game Gear already has two or
- three RPG-type titles out already.
