Oh yeah.. I still dig it out from time to time to play Warbirds, Todd's Adventures in Slime World, maybe a game or two of Klax...

My that's quite a collection DjoeNtje, hold on to those babies and don't sell them. It was weird played my Atari Lynx 1, for a while then played my DSL and just thought for a moment "Wow technology sure has advanced". Haha, what games do you guys have?

I've still got my atari linx. Got the case for it and the adapter. I also have the massive battery pack for it that takes either 'C' or 'D' size batteries. I've also got a few games for it. Tried ebaying it last year and no one wanted it

Some of the above games are pretty poor, but after I'd bought all the games I wanted, and the games were getting harder to find, I started buying up whatever I could...

 

[enigmaindex]

Wow that is quite a list of games, i only have something like 5 or 6 games haha.

 

[Reduxed]

horrible system, i sold mine on a video game store for 100 bucks

Don't blame you. I don't even know how they can call it a handheld. Can't remember what version of lynx I have but you can't even put batteries in the back. The lynx is that big, its the handheld for a giant

 

[Hadrian]

There were some very good games for it, Just had a stupid design and lots wrong with it. Kinda the same with the Jaguar.

 

[berlinka]

I bought it when it first came out. I loved it. The games were for the most part pathetic, but there were some good ones, like Slimeworld, Klax, Gates of Zendocon, Shanghai and off course California Games.

My dad was addicted to the system (Lynx I)and totally fucked up the system after dropping it several times and from the continuous playing. He was addicted to Shanghai. So when it completely broke down I got him another one (Lynx II) and after ten years or so he still plays it almost every day. Can you believe it??

If there were more people like my dad this system would have beat every Xbox and Playstation out there

 

[BigX]

I got one too...but bought it rather late.
Have three games only on it...
Have far more for my game gear.
Would go crazy if I get a Nomad sometime :-D

 

[DjoeN]

I even got me brand new some spare battery covers
Also got that sun protector so you could play in the sun

I have around 10 games, dunno the names, the games are stored somewhere in a box in the basement

 

[decept]

I play lynx roms on my XBOX, does that count?

 

[Deleted User]

I have a Lynx II, but--sadly--not that many games. I liked Xybots and California Games though.

Battery life is a flaw although the GameGear wasn't much better when it comes to this.

Yeah, my dad was obsessed with it. He was also obsessed with the GB, Genesis and GBC. He bought something like 200+ games, and just recently he hops into my room and says guess what, im like what, he goes just downloaded every single GB, GBC and Sega Genesis rom. Im like haha lol. He still enjoys playing my DS

. And we recently went to a 50+ people lan and played CoD 4 and Quake 3. Man that was epic.

 

[cutterjohn]

I've got one, but I never did have many games for it:
Blue Lightning
California Games
Electrocop
[EDIT=few more]
Xenophobe IIRC
Warbirds
[/EDIT]
and a couple of other IIRC.

Haven't played it in years, and am not sure where it's at, ATM.

It's the original LARGE one with the screen that scratched easily, BTW.
