I am getting an Atari Lynx - Don't you try and stop me!
« on: April 30, 2004, 03:25:48 PM »
Hello,

Because it is my birthday today, i am thinking about purchasing an Atari Lynx off ebay or internet. I used to own one, nice machines, but got beaten by the mono Gameboy for some reason. Anyway, ta-ta! :-)

I remember seeing these things when I was little and they were about twice as big as I'd imagined when I saw them in catalogues.

Isn't there a Lynx emulator for the GP32? Or is this just one of those Atari hardware fetish things? ;-)

Gotta love the GP, it made me get a NeoGeoPocket because I liked the emu so much!  A new Lynx emu is due out soon as well, Once the new BLU comes out, whatch for lots of ebay sales of FLU and non-FLU units. And someone is doing an amiga EMU!

Get the Alpine games. This game is graphically stunning! Also, aother favourite would be Zarlor Mercenary... Just BRILLIANT! The best vertical shoot em up I've ever played!
Lynx kicks arse!

Cheers guys! :pint:

Didn't go out yesterday, but probs will tonight!

Anyhow, back on topic. I used to own an Atari Lynx, before the backlight broke onit. I had some of the rarest and best games for it:

Lemmings
California Games
Paperboy
Chips Challenge
Klax
Xenephobe
Hard Drivin'
Batman Returns

I wish i kept them bleedin' games now, but i suppose i can start collecting games again. All this talk of an Atari emu on the GP32 Xtreme boards have wetted my appetite on getting a Lynx again. However, i think that Lynx and Amiga emulation is a LONG way off.
