@Hageltrast haha! But really! What game can you play with 17 other people?! I mean, they advertized it so there must be at least one game capable. Do you have any idea what it might be?

[Hageltrast]

@cincinatus90 yup! haha kind of funny, i imagine 17 people sitting in a room and play Lynx, and sudddenly someone of them have to go to the restroom. But instead of everyone have to pausing the game he simply flip the screen upside down (using the flip button) and hand it over to his buddy.. Wonder if Atari thinked the same? ;D

[cincinatus90]

WTF would you play with 17 other ppl on the lynx???

@fatriff Did you brag to the Game Boy owners how you have color?

[fatriff]

I had the newer model when I was 11 which was 1991, I used to wake up an hour early on school days and play California games under my blanket in bed.. I was obsessed with it.

This was a great review. Amateur reviewers usually pause with the whole, "Uhhh..." between their sentences, which is annoying.

Kudos. :D

You don't have TOKI? I bought the console yesterday (eBay), just to play this game

@ryujijitei You can't say that atari lost on reputation because of the video game crash. Atari didn't do anything wrong to be part of the cause of the crash. The market was just oversaturated with videogames and home consoles so the market crashes. Sega was also in direct competiton to nintendo at the time, so you can't say that nintendo did anything singlehandedly but it is true it's the only survivor of the time.

[ryujijitei]

@winnetouch Consider that Atari helped cause the crash of 1983, and Nintendo singlehandedly revitalized the market with the NES.

@ryujijitei And tha atari name didn't have recognition. Dude. The atari 2600 is one of the best selling consoles ever made :P.
