Yo-Yo

It was released in the states, but was pretty expensive. It did have a neat TV tuner accessory.  My guess is the Lynx both outsold and outlasted it in the states.

"depending on who you ask, it was a horrible failure for the company"
 
As was brought up, this is my only problem with the article. 
 
I don't believe you should you say "depending on who you ask" and only bring up one, unsupported point. 
 
Depending on who you ask.... The Browns will win the Super Bowl, Tax Avoiders is a great game and beef tastes like chicken.
 
Too me, that was lazy and biased. How in the world does a system that lasted multiple years count as a horrible failure? Just because it didn't sell as well as the Game Boy? 
 
BTW, I think the main reason the Lynx didn't sell more was due not to any lack of games, but the high price of the unit compared to the Game Boy. Even if Tetris, the biggest portable system seller of all time, was packed in with the Lynx, the Game Boy would've still outsold it.

So even though I had the Lynx very early on it felt like very long stretches of time before any games would come out, at least in my area.  I also got a Game Gear, so should I go to Target and find a huge selection of games - none of them were Lynx.  I would have to have someone take me to one of two places that carried Lynx games, Toys R Us (totally out of the way) or Electronics Boutique (even more out of the way).  This same pattern happened during the Jaguar.  I found my self getting more Game Gear games only because it was more accessible in my area.   For what it's worth. 

That really was my only point. And the insinuation that a nice big eye roll would make you a fanboy ticked me off in the context of the AVP Lynx article.
 
I'm sure everybody here was in favor of honest reporting of the Chameleon/Mike Kennedy debacle and would appreciate what that meant

I guess that's all relative. I would say they're "new" compared to the version we've had for 15 years. It hasn't been discussed here yet and it's a pretty cool find so a post was made about it.

This is commentary I provided a few years ago for Atari Lynx Alien vs. Predator. This is based on the previously discovered prototype:

What do we think gang?  Is this the real thing?

Im guessing he's never played a Lynx due to his snotty attitude and lazy video game journalism, but this is a new find regarding AVP on the Lynx. 
 
Sound off Marine. 

I like your show Willie

I really want to like Swordquest but I find it hard to follow, even with the comic books. It's a cool idea that was probably too big for the 2600 to do very well.

That is amazing. I never knew the Phantom was anything more than a keyboard and a Ponzie scheme. This looks like it could have been really cool....

Here is the first game I bought for my Lynx #mindblownin1989.  Elctrocop on the Lynx Lounge.

Chip's Challenge and a special shout out to Dave Needle. 

Awesome episode! These Epyx titles for Lynx were incredible. They really showed off the Lynx and blew everything else out of the water. You're right on when you say that if you wanted to show the Game Boy kids a game that would shut them up, stop them in their tracks and just go "holy moly" Blue Lightning was it. It's hard to comprehend that Lynx was doing this sort of scaling and graphics on a handheld, long before SNES. Outstanding game! One of my absolute favorites and a must-have for every true Lynx aficionado. 

Blue Lightning is one of the best games of that era for any system. Play Top Gun on NES then come play Blue Lightning on Lynx and it'll knock your socks off. It was uncommon in flight games to have that ability to fly so high above the clouds and sow low to the ground, to roll the jet and spin around with so much precision. Atari used Blue Lightning as its in store retail demo at Toys R Us, Montgomery Wards, Software Etc. and other retailers using a special demo card:
 

 

This is really good stuff, thanks for sharing.

For all that doubted the Coleco Chameleon dream!

Blast off!

Please don't lump my beloved Virtual Boy in with this mess. 

Yeah the Jag Bar is popping up is lots of videos coving this story... Not complaining

...I figure I'll start things off with a bang.  Behold!
 

 

 
I love, love, love my 2800.  Everything about it!  Don't get me wrong, I love a woodgrain sixer like anyone else, but there's just something about this thing that grabs me by the shoulders and demands my attention:
 

 
It's got a great overall look, but there's also the little things, like the Atari plates on the controllers:
 

 
Got a 4-player game?  Got you covered:
 

 
Sure, I can't play Space Shuttle on it very easily:
 

 
And I do wonder why my controllers weren't manufactured at the same time the console was made:
 

 
I mean, is it a Sears Video Arcade II with different plates?  Well, yeah.  But regardless -- this is beautiful technology to me, and it's easy for me to see why they modeled the 7800 on this design.
 
More to come!
