I'm sure this thread is just going to go straight to the archive, but fuck it. Does anybody like the Lynx?

I do but I never owned one, my friend did and I played his a lot. very impressive 3D and it deserved a better fate

This handheld gave us Chip's Challenge, so thanks Epyx for that!

I wish they had done a tv system or an add on for video out. I always thought it should have been the home system Atari did between the 7800 and Jag, like as a budget option compared to the competition.

when I started collecting circa 2008 there were a lot of Lynxes around in my city, there was a major distrubutor here. I snagged one with everything in a case, and a growing pile of boxed games.

The experience was... underwhelming to say the least. Only game I could play for more than a few minutes was Checkered Flag. A few years down the line I sold everything and bought SNES games

The flippable color screen was a neat novelty, and it was the most powerful handheld until the Game Boy Advance, but the bulkiness, low battery life, and lack of good exclusives killed it.
