About

Atari’s only portable gaming unit, this system was quite advanced for 1989. It featured a large, fullcolor, backlit LCD screen and graphics capability that exceeded the capabilities of many home consoles of the time. It was also very expensive, a notable battery hog, and very large. Atari, as usual, did not market it well resulting in poor third party support and Atari’s eventual abandonment. The Lynx is an amazing console with some excellent games that, along with the Turbo Express and the Sega Nomad, was only really equaled in the late nineties by the Neo Geo pocket. Very fun to play, and fairly cheap to collect. There are two models, the Lynx II being the smaller and more reliable of the two.
