A little about the Atari Lynx and Lynx 2!

[arcwings31]

I also have a blue sega game gear too. But mine has grey battery lid covers.XD

I can't play it though I need to fix the screen.

[Swaitek]

The Atari Lynx was mono but it actually had stereo sound through the headphones.

[jrlegomaster]

awsome blue SEGA Game Gear

[ionmyke]

That button is quite useful actually, it allows you to turn the screen off while pausing a game to conserve battery life. I still prefer the Model 1, the Lynx 2 is so cheap and plasticy feeling.

[10p6]

You can go on about battery life, but when I was a kid, at night when I was meant to be sleeping I was playing my Lynx, all while my brother who was a Game Boy fan could not see Jack.

I still believe Nintendo set the Video gaming industry back a decade with the Game boy! Hmmm.

[TheConnyB]

The Gay Boy is lame in comparison to the Lynx.. Just look at it, it rules!

[Rayfist090]

@TheConnyB HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE PORTABLE GAMING LEGEND LIKE THAT! Atari lynx may be cool, but the gameboy is a FUCKING LEGEND. 'Nuff said.

[Pojo714]

@Rayfist090 Agreed

[alexdarling5]

@TheConnyB its not a gay boy, its a GAME BOY you illiterate imbecile. i agree that the lynx is superior in some fashion, but the game boy defined the first idea of portability.

[TheConnyB]

@alexdarling5 Really? is it really Game Boy and not Gay Boy? Wow, that´s news to me! I always thought the name actually was Gay Boy! Boy do I feel stupid!

[ACluelessKid]

@TheConnyB

By what exactly, may I ask? The Lynx's library was just horrible.

[Thill029]

the "useless" button allows you to conserve battery when you want to pause your game instead of turning the game off. I think it's quite useful considering how horribly this system eats through batteries.

[Scioneer]

Funny, I get 5 hours on both the Lynx and later model Game Gear. You're blue Game Gear sadly( since its one of the more rare ones) must have a defect to get worse battery life than a Lynx.

[whoisthecat]

Actually 99 games

[whoisthecat]

LOL, "Poor little thing", FTW!!

[toastedwaffle5]

is that were they got the psp from? just wondering sorry for my ignorance :P what year was the Atari Lynx launched?...Where was I???

[becooliusbulius]

found one at a second hand store,very good condition.the netherlands man.

[dogeymon83]

No games used the Comlynx feature??? What are talking about?? Lots of games used that.

[dirtyvu]

@dogeymon83 he probably didn't have any friends... i kid!!! but seriously, a lot of games used it, but the problem is that you had to find people that had a Lynx and you had to find people that had the same game (1 copy per system needed).

[dogeymon83]

Was not worth the money it cost when it came out. But it was my first handheld system. My sister got the gameboy! While I loved the lynx, I kept wanting to play the Gameboy more. :(

[ojideagu]

@dogeymon83 I had a Gameboy, but I was so pleased when I got a Lynx 2. The Lynx games amazed me.

[Siraj75]

Very good review of both systems.

I've got a Lynx 2; cool piece of retro technology.

[becooliusbulius]

[xeking95]

LOVED THE REVIEW!!! nice job man :)

[TowfiqTheBrown]

hairy arms man lol

[budperson]

I don't know why, but is those were still around in retail stores, I'd would be VERY tempted to go buy one.

[UNEMPLOYEDxxxxJEDI]

I just git a Lynx 2 but I need an power adapter, what kind of adapter do I get.

[KetilsGEEKTV]

Nice review, I really love the Lynx, and I have the second version myself. The backlight button is for saving battery while the game is paused. :-)

[MacintoshPlus1MB]

man, nice collection of game boys and lynxs and many other video game systems!

[GamerBoyGU82]

the Lynx 1 looks kind of like a skate board LOL

a friend of mine had one and I remember playing it all the time, they are pretty good and highly under rated.

[MrTheclub555]

i got a lynx 2

[millgiass]

Those graphics were impressive. I didn't even know it exsisted. I had the Game Gear, which I considered a better system than Game Boy.
