I miss my Lynx, it was stolen when I was younger. I remember playing California Games BMX on it non stop for hours on end.

@Malbeuf007 9 лет назад

I still have mine! Great hardware for its time :)

@Barnacules 9 лет назад

Christian Malbeuf I remember when I first got mine I thought it had better graphics then the consoles I had :D

@SideProjectLIVE 9 лет назад

Sadly I sold mine. I was addicted to Shanghai and Rampart. Rampart really rocked on the Lynx.

@Kiwi_As 3 года назад

I remember playing blue lighting on my dad's friends Lynx at his 40th birthday in 1990 and this blew me away

@AlphaOmegaSin 14 лет назад

The systems always seemed to be rather neat but cost to much when i was younger, and i already had a gameboy at the time. great review as always

@Gamester81 14 лет назад

@tvandlust 14 лет назад

Fun review man. I love my Lynx. The capabilities and the library really surprised me.

@markvergeer 14 лет назад

I'm inclined to make a video of my Lynx collection as well. Very nice review man!

@SomeDumbGames 14 лет назад

Great review!

@sinistermoon 14 лет назад

I used to have a model 1. Thought it was pretty cool. Awesome video man.

@Manjoume 14 лет назад

You're one of the only people I'd watch a 16 minute video from and actually want it to keep going.

@ArieivProductions 11 лет назад

Thanks for recognizing the great Handy/Lynx console. It was ahead of its (our) time. =Bob Vieira=

@HalfBlindGamer 14 лет назад

Cool stuff man! I love the Lynx, it has some amazing games on there for sure!

@jimmyclassy 14 лет назад

great review! I wish i still had my lynx.

@Playalives 14 лет назад

thanks for this video I was quite curious about this handheld it also seems to have some pretty intense volume capabilities.

@BulletSmoke 14 лет назад

Never got the chance to own one because it was SO freakin expensive back then so I got a gameboy instead. I remember the commercial of a kid playing the lynx in the school washroom lol. Excellent review, can't wait to see another.

@21stCenturyDub 14 лет назад

hey gamester, been enjoying the videos for quite a while - keep it up, I check out the NEStalgiaholic channel too as well.

@battroidattack 14 лет назад

Great review. In the early 90's I bought a Lynx version 2 for $60us and only owned three games California Games, Pinball and Toki Going Ape Spit and were pretty fun. Since I couldn't find a place to buy more games I traded it for an SNES at a local game store.

@wilder9777 12 лет назад

master collection Gamester81

@n8great321 14 лет назад

I've always wanted to have one of these just to pull it out on a bus or in a waiting room somewhere. Having an eight-person Lynx session would be awesome lol.

@TheMetroidMurderer 14 лет назад

@Gamester81 your welcome you truly deserve it.

@jose5080007 14 лет назад

nice review love the atari lynx i have 2 of them.

@ATARI800XLfan 14 лет назад

Nice video. I was wondering where on the stoneagegamer site do they mention the console giveaway that you mentioned in the review. I also have a Lynx and love it, I have 12 games for it so far. Thank you for your time.

@davidhass3lh0ff 14 лет назад

great review

@OnlyWayIsLinux-OWIL 12 лет назад

I had the newer model when I was 11 which was 1991, I used to wake up an hour early on school days and play California games under my blanket in bed.. I was obsessed with it.

@DontrelleRoosevelt 9 лет назад

I found a model 2 last night in perfect condition with the box, for less than $100. It also came with California Games and a case with the slots for games. I traded mine to a friend for a Game Gear way back when, and I've missed it since.

@SMAAAASHTV 14 лет назад

hey dude, I must've completely missed this video before! Thanks for the shoutout! BTW I'm doing more themes now, I did JBINEUX's new theme(I don't think it's up yet but he should have it up in a few days.

@robertdenny4423 8 лет назад

i have a model 1 lynx it looks brand new fresh out the box

@billyboobtubeboy9244 9 лет назад

I just received a Lynx 2. Is the on button supposed to be sunk in unlike the other buttons?

@crismardeocampo9286 3 года назад

Now this video is about 10 years or longer, but i want to know what camera are you using and editing program back then?

@DoctorJ1337 13 лет назад

Damn i really want an atari lynx 2 ill have to get one on ebay. Great review

@ScrewAttackEurope 14 лет назад

I love the fact the original Lynx, when it gets scratched, you get this silver stuff underneath, so it looks like battle damage :D But I do wonder if the machine was originally meant to be silver?

@Gamester81 14 лет назад

@gnoe234 Yeah I do, it was the very first video I did actually.

@Vassilika1 12 лет назад

wow, I had one of these, played surfing (what ever) on it, and a shooter game, don't remember the title. thanks for this video

@schizrade 14 лет назад

I still have my original Lynx and 15 games from when I was young. Works great.

@browsertab 14 лет назад

@Koolkitties Agreed. You get used to the controls. It would feel weird having them switched... even though I'm comfortable using the arrow keys on a keyboard.

@Wuss2ns 14 лет назад

@Osiris592 actually if I'm not mistaken it came out before Super Mario BRos. for NES in its original release.

@wrestletube1 14 лет назад

When you were playing Rampage it sounded like there were 2 speakers inside the single speaker grill. It's stupid putting 2 speakers in the same grill as it's stereo but the 2 speakers are not seperated enough to get a wide spectrum of sound.

@jakesethsnake1 14 лет назад

awsome vid and i want one now

@anonymouswhoami 14 лет назад

Are those Bookman's stickers on the Lynx boxes? I love those stores.

@JasonRelaxation 14 лет назад

there the 25th yr anniversary dvds i would have given u the 3rd dvd but i couldnt thanks for doing the vid dude hope u enjoy the games

@ATARI800XLfan 14 лет назад

Nice video. I was wondering what is your opinion of Checkered flag, blue lighting, and toki. I am planning on getting two more games for my system and these are the ones I am looking at. Thank you for your time.

@Gamester81 14 лет назад

@JasonRelaxation Cool bro. Thanks again.

@KevinArcade 13 лет назад

Can you also flip it to the side or only left handed and right handed? In the advertisement the hold it on its side. I like how Alien vs Predator has the Waylan Yutani logo on it :)

@antonioluissilvapiano 9 лет назад

I just bought mine yesterday for 70€ (around 75$) with 2 games, still boxed and in perfect condition! I think it was a great deal :)

@Lachlant1984 14 лет назад

I have the Lynx II and I really like it, one problem with the early (flat) game cards is that at least on my Lynx II and with my copy of Electrocop, the card goes in both ways, unlike the later cards with the curved top, they only go in one way. Has anyone else had that problem. One other problem with the Lunx is that they're not made very well, they break very easily, expecilly the AC Adaptor socets on the Lynx II.

@Gamester81 14 лет назад

@CandyTutorials No problem. I hope it drives people to check out your channel. =)

@proveren 10 лет назад

can you show avp demo?

@DlNKYDANA 14 лет назад

Nice. I've seen those around and have just never picked one up. One of these days....

@dogbunns 11 лет назад

I have this. lol this model too. And the paint is not chipped surprisingly

@dragster178 14 лет назад

Partnership! Congrats!

@RetroGamerVX 14 лет назад

I never rated the lynx before i got an atari lynx 2 a few months ago, I love it now and it never gets any rest from people playing it at work, they say it's so addictive!! Do you have problems getting the batteries out of the atari lynx 2? I find it a right pain!! The thing is that it lasted 6-7 hours on the batteries back then, run it on modern batteries and it runs for a lot longer :o)

@MegaAstroFan18 11 лет назад

Actually the first thing I noticed about that Lynx Mk. 1 there is it's a bit scuffed up on the ends there.

@elsquibbs 14 лет назад

Wow, Shadow of the Beast? I had that for the Amiga back in the day. Psygnosis made some really cool stuff.

@DinoNerf_Ninja 13 лет назад

Damn I remember getting this for my bday as a kid with some cop game lol. Good ish

@TravelJoe2010 14 лет назад

Lynx vs. Game Gear in a fight would be epic...The hand-flip is a good idea. Wonderswan had a flip sideways function or something like that.

@MrJ0mmy 12 лет назад

i found my old Atari Lynx 2 today but it will not turn on :( the console looks like new too

@Ryoga2K 14 лет назад

I got an Atari Lynx a year and a Half ago, it's a model one and I didn't know it was common to find it with the paint worn off as in mine the paint is still not worn, I got it with the pouch bag. It's an amazing system and Actually I was scared by the people telling me that it was going to eat batteries like crazy but the thing actually lasts more than I thought, the only thing in which I disagree with you is the sound, it may be mono but at least in mine its loud as hell!

@NeoCorinthian 13 лет назад

Can someone explain to me what that give away thing is?

@TheSpike3000 13 лет назад

What happened to the sides of your lynx?

@Robert55964 11 лет назад

@David Aleksandrov I'm interested in them

@captainacebandit 13 лет назад

My brother had one of those, I played it more than he did, I used to play batman returns on it, one of the hardest games I've ever played but the music on it was awesome Edit: I posted that before you finished the video haha, I had the pit fighter and checkered flag game, I think I had a soccer game too but man that thing was pretty cool

@dcd90 13 лет назад

@Gamester81 where can i get one?

@jose5080007 14 лет назад

@MN12BIRD wow its MN12BIRD love your game reviews

@PSI236 14 лет назад

I only ever played California Games but it was really good, on a Lynx model 2

@gnoe234 14 лет назад

do you own a Nintendo 64DD which is a disc drive for the n64 last time i saw it on ebay it was 602 bucks!!!

@afloyd4976 7 лет назад

The Lynx graphics hardware was based on the Amiga computer. It has many similar capabilities because of this. Most development systems for the Lynx use an Amiga of some sort.

@GamingPalOllieMK 14 лет назад

Thanks for the new review dude, awesome as always I was such a moron as a kid, I had the chance to buy this and instead I went for a stupid Tetris handheld because it had like 999 built in games and the lynx did not ~_~

@Mikeamania79 14 лет назад

partner , fantastic brother super cool my man

@henrybodnar4051 10 лет назад

I still have this system. Unfortunately Atari never could get sufficient number of games to keep it as a viable option. But I still enjoy it to this day. Never had a problem with the battery life. I almost always used the power cord. And had a nice carrying case which transported it with my cache of 40 games in style. Xybots, Rygar, Gates of Zendecon, Slime World, Turbo Sub, Chips Challenge were a ton of fun. There are others.

@bland9876 12 лет назад

@gnoe234 what discs would that play

@cincinatus90 12 лет назад

@Hageltrast haha! But really! What game can you play with 17 other people?! I mean, they advertized it so there must be at least one game capable. Do you have any idea what it might be?

@DvdXploitr 14 лет назад

Rampage was great! Love being able to eat people and tear up buildings (Larry looked like he was humping the building though LOL)...another great game for Lynx is Rampart...awesome strategy game. Definitely recommend getting Rampart as well

@Isuzu96Hombre 10 лет назад

Checkered Flag is pretty good. It's basically a clone of Virtua racing, and it runs very smoothly. Warbirds, and Turbo Sub are really cools games as well. It's fun to collect for, and you can get most of the games really cheap.

@kinmanyuen 12 лет назад

I was amazed how it could deal with spritescaling

@paralixis4500 11 лет назад

awesome, i found a model 2 LYNX today for 10 dollars and 1 game, thats pretty sweet deal

@bland9876 12 лет назад

y was all the gameboy competition in color with a back lite yet the game boy one

@klaasjenl 12 лет назад

Nice review, but what's up with the 'don't get this game' when pointing at Bill&Ted? Perhaps it's boring while playing it alone, but in my opinion in multiplayer this is the game to beat. I've been playing it for hours with a friend of mine (when we weren't playing Slime World, Basketbrawl, Ice Hockey and Checkered Flag)

@firefly2000 14 лет назад

One one my all time Favorite games for the Lynx has to be Slime World , just an all around amazing game , if you don't have it I would get . Just Awesome !!

@Peridot1895 10 лет назад

When did the Atari Lynx came out?

@GlucoseYummy 10 лет назад

watch the video and you'll find out

@judabe 13 лет назад

i used to have one, i rebember playing something like after burner, a batman game or something like that.

@captainacebandit 13 лет назад

My brother had one of those, I played it more than he did, I used to play batman returns on it, one of the hardest games I've ever played but the music on it was awesome

@RetroGamerVX 14 лет назад

People complain about not being able to see the screen on this system with the backlight off, but they missunderstand the function of the backlight off button. The idea was to switch the backlight off when you pause the game to save power, it was never intended to be used with the backlight off :o) Get duracell ultra batteries and it lasts a very long time, Interesting how rampage is dated 86 when it's before it was released!! shows the long history of the lynx development :o)

@planetkeane 12 лет назад

You don't have TOKI? I bought the console yesterday (eBay), just to play this game

@Fresnokila 13 лет назад

Wow I had this back than...with Crystal Mines 2 I think it was called..remember playing it in bed instead sleeping as I should have..

@chrisstoffer 14 лет назад

must be a problem with the top buttons over the sound ey? Might wanted to add that Game Boy was also mono while playing without headphones - which was most of the time? Fuck me it is nice for me as a left-handed!!! :D

@gnoe234 12 лет назад

@bland9876 only 64DD discs only ten games were made

@PiercedJedi 11 лет назад

Never had a lynx, and actually never wanted one, it wasn't about the color, it was about the games for me... nice review

@elsorino 13 лет назад

my friend game me the model 2 because he already had a model 1 lol im happy

@benelenium6648 10 лет назад

I have a model 1 and I agree, blue lightning and rampage are the best games on the system

@gnoe234 14 лет назад

@JZDestruction umm youre wrong the 64 dd is actually a console that did terribly bad and only a few where made and sold only in japan

@KevinArcade 13 лет назад

Can play with a lot more players then 16 on the gameboy but only 1 I believe supports it.

@cessnaace 14 лет назад

I have the model 2. One difference between the two models is that the model 1's headphone jack wasn't wired for stereo, whereas it was with the model 2. You showed the card for Checkered Flag. The Lynx version is 100 x better than the Jag version. Trust me on that. :) STAY AWESOME! :)
