Posted by Esco on November 20, 2015 at 23:58:59 EST in reply to I wanted a color handheld and really bought into the system specs like the brilliant 11 year old I was. I have a soft spot for the Lynx, it had a couple good games (Zarlor Mercenary, Blue Lightning, Pinball Jam) and some solid arcade ports (Klax, Rampart, Xybots). Most of the widely available games were garbage (Batman Returns, Ninja Gaiden, Pit Fighter). Biggest problem was it didn't have a lot of support and the games I really wanted (Battlewheels, STUN Runner, Warbirds) never showed up in my local Toys R Us or Electronics Boutique. It was always shit like Awesome Golf, Basketbrawl and World Class Soccer. I only discovered some of the better games much later via emulation. And of course nobody I knew had a fucking Lynx, I might've played Rampage all of one time with a link cable and that novelty wore off quick. (n/t) from Esco.
Man, I miss Electronics Boutique in the 90's. I still remember what it looked like when the NGP came out, all those flimsy cardboard boxes in a small corner display going unsold
