'''''Combat Lynx''''' is a helicopter action-oriented flight sim with an arcade feel by Mike Richardson from [[Durell]]. It is not overly realistic, but suffers from the same problem as ''[[Turbo Esprit]]'', i.e. it is technically a marvel but there are so many things you have to watch at the same time (your ammo, engine temperature, height, enemy planes and tanks shooting at you, the map, etc.) that gameplay feels a bit overloaded. Especially for a game that ''looks'' like an easy arcade flight sim.
While this game does not quite qualify as a full flight simulator, this was still impressive for the time, especially as it was released during the 464 era. A cool wireframe animation of the helicopter and its equipment at the base were a particular highlight, as was the lush terrain with houses and trees. Later Amiga games like ''Gunship'' were somewhat similar to ''Combat Lynx''.
Still, on the whole ''Combat Lynx'' is yet another Durrell Durell game with too much realism in an essentially arcade-like game which makes gameplay challenging even for adults, not to mention children and teens of the era.
