Did anyone here have the Lynx? I've never even seen one except at the National Videogame Museum in Texas, but it looked really cool. :)

My friend had one. I had a Game Gear. Between us, we probably singlehandedly kept an entire battery factory in production.

(Raises hand)

Had one of the second-gens for a few months; wisely was able to sell it on once I moved with a bunch of carts. It was wild to have a color screen at that time (well before Nintendo) and some games like Rygar and Blue Lightning were fun…but damn, did it eat batteries, 6 AAs at a time, IIRC. That thing was in need of a Mr Fusion.

Nope, I had a Gameboy and a Gamegear. I didn't even know the Lynx existed TBH.

I got one when they came out, the only game i really remember was "Klaxx" or something like that, it was a puzzle game

I've only played Lynx games in Atari 50, but it only had a small handful

Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.
