still, 6 AA batteries for a max playtime of 2 hours was a major pain in the ass :) i had a gamegear and i really liked the system overall, but it didnt get much attention compared to my game boy...
@MrTRIFORCE666 I think the gameboy line kinda sucks i like nintendo home consoles but i don't like they're portables so i use a wii as home console now but i use a psp as portable and i just think that the best portable of the three first ones is the game gear even if the lynx was my first console ever so i love nintendo home consoles but i hate they're portables
atari seamed great at producing superiour hardware, and it failing.
always baffled me.
and the nintendo fan boys.
especially the ones that go on about the battery life. the atari was a teched out its tights piece of hardware for its time, of course its going to draw more power than that calculator turned games machine monochromatic mono sound joke the gameboy
a look at the spec of the much later game boy advance and the old lynx just shows how ahead of the game atari was
@cant1rac - Well, Epyx actually designed the original Lynx ('Handy') and Atari just bought it...though they did a nice job on the Lynx II redesign. It was nice that the Lynx was the only 'flippable' handheld for right AND left handers. S.T.U.N. RUNNER was a rather incredible port to me and my brother who loved the arcade version.
@xnonsuchx i knew there was third party involvment in the atari lynx, same with the jaguar, yeah the redesign by atari was a hell of a lot nicer.
wanted one at the time, (always was suprised how much the gameboy took off)
s.t.u.n runner, yeah was an incredible port i agree.
got a lynx 2 after it had died unfortunatly, and thought it was an amazing wee machine, light years ahead of the competition, was nice to see atari bring out something good after the mistakes it made with the 7800 & xegs.
damm if nintendo had agreed to buy the richts of the handy handheld(known today is atari lyns),i bet that we had those later upcomming snes titles allready on the go back in 1993 and that even starfox will run fine on the lynx,but we had to wait for the gba till we finaly can play great snes titles on the go.
The problem with the Lynx is that it had a really crappy battery life. Today, that might not sound like a big deal, but when you're 9, and having to beg your parents for more batteries every other day, it can be a real problem.
Indeed I bought it in Antwerp almost directly it came out, it was huge but bad for your eyes when playing too long :) nintendo was and stil is crap, look at the screendots, it's for wining those dots are clumbs of sugar LOL
Ultimate vintage... haters don't know what they are talking about this system was available when nintendo released it's gamboy (yeah the non-color version!) and nintendo din't do backlighting till the nintendo DS!, and it had REAL 3d games, like warbirds. stil got one and it's awesome
Wow! I don't remember this commercial. I do remember the Lynx though, but I never had it. I think there was an episode of Full House where two twin girls were playing with them though.
Very nice Job! Keep up the great work! Thanks for posting!

@frigginjoe You ever bought a cheap game like Poke'mon Ranger for $4.99 at Toys R Us and taken it to Wal-Mart to get a $34.99 game instead? Or bought Bakugan at Sears for $4.97 and took it to Wal-Mart to get a $39.99 game instead/ I thought about it, but my concious bothered me. Though I did return an opened game to Meijer for a new one which I traded at Wal-Mart for a different game.
to think of that after a year of playing this fuck of a game I actually beat it.. the ending must've been one of the biggest disappointments in my life
i like it how the commerical lynx looks so colorful but the actul lynx itself was shitty and you had to tilt it a certain way to even see wats going on! wow how as kids we were mis-led and lied by these commericals lol
Oh man, I think the swan song of any failing console is when they start advertising free games when you buy them, or...if you're sega...they start giving the console itself away for free
Yeah, thats bullshit. The Atari Lynx was made of leftovers from the Amiga project. (The guys who made the Commodore Amiga were working first for Atari.. then they left Atari an took their project to Commodore, and Atari got what they had from the project to do the Lynx).
Lynx showed just 32 colors on screen at best, from a 4096 colors pallete. Sometimes games would have just 16 colors to keep the speed up.
can someone help? i wanna beat this friggen game! i dug it out of a box in the garage after 15 years and im desperate to see the end. anyone know why the cheats wouldnt work for it? did they make a non cheatable cart?
It should rather be "On the largest portable video game system in the world"... No really, although it is huge, it still looks stylish and isn't a bad system at all (I've got one)
no, the master system had a total of 16 on-screen colours, the megadrive/genesis had a total of 64 no screen colours, when they say that the lynx has a total os 5000 colours they mean the its colour pallete not its on-screen colours, otherwise that lynx would have the same grafix card as the super nintendo
i think the lynx and the game gear are better than the gameboy

To defeat the 1st boss : stand on the bar left.then duck and shoot batarangs on his head by holding the shoot button. you need about 40-50 batarangs.
