Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 13: Atari Lynx Collection 1

I swear this collection is trying to lure me into an early grave. What is this nonsense? Giant sprites that take up almost the entire room, a camera thats swings about awkwardly and enemies that often fire offscreen at you so usually you realise its just best to tank all the damage willy nilly.

The controls are a pile of crap too, why with the Lynx setup, did they take a page from Amiga and decide 'Oh yes, up to jump, that feels good'. Its awful, the jumping is floaty and uncontrollable and the hovering feels just as bad.

Literally the only thing stopping this from being 0.5/5 is I occasionally like some of the graphics and the whole thing has a cute Duke Nukem classic vibe. Thats it.
