Ive still got my Lynx from release, SOTB is my favourite game, better than the Amiga version, less frustrating, more fun.  

It was kinda cool that they used Amigas as development platforms.

SteelTalons.

By hardware specs, Lynx ruled the roost up till around when the GBA hit the scene.

Btw, you can overclock the Lynx1 by switching the clock crystal from 16Mhz to 24Mhz, done it, and it works, SteelTalons runs smooth, DoubleDragon quick etc.

recently acquire one of these "Howard/Howdy" Lynx
Development Systems. Very cool unit. I discovered
this forum, when I searched the internet to learn
about how the DevKit interfaces with my Amiga 2000.
     



I really wanted one of those dev kits a few years back, but now I dont have the Amiga to fit it anymore.  And now I have a GP2X and Lynx emu, my old Lynx is virtually redundant except for reasons of nostalgia.
