If choosing between the 5200 and A8 computers, I'd prefer to see the 5200 get a "mini" release since the SuperSystem doesn't get much love, and as Justin mentioned, it should be able to support both 5200 and A8 software. As for future Atari computer minis, I want to see one for the ST line instead of another A8.

I would expect the same product to play both systems.

Please check one

I have two stock Lynx systems. A Lynx 1 and 2. I also have a slew of games for them. They are a great addition to my collection.

I got my Lynx II when it was released.  I slowly, but surely, got a complete library of games for it.  I'm only missing P.I.T.S., which is very hard to find nowadays.  The system was better than the GameBoy by leaps and bounds but Atari did not do things right.

Warning…highly addictive gameplay.

Downloaded this last night.  It IS addictive.  Simple gameplay but you just want to keep playing it. 

Coolness. 😄 I never had the Lynx, but I remember seeing it in a Boy's Life Magazine, and thought it was really neat looking. Leagues ahead of the Game Gear and Gameboy. I wanted a Game Gear for Sonic, I was Sonic crazy.
I did not get any handheld machine until 1996 besides the LCD Calculator types. 😅
A shame Jack's usual antics screwed over Epyx, and ultimately the Lynx. The hardware is very great. Funny enough the commercial with the boy playing the Lynx in school. I would play my Gameboy in the back of Science class in 1997. 😛 Never in the bathroom though. That was a place where you did not want to hang around too long. 😄

This is a nice video by PatmanQC looking at the history of the Atari Lynx and its games.  Thought I'd share it.  Enjoy!
 

Please forgive my late response to this post as I have just recently found it.

My name is John Behnke and at one time, decades ago, I was a part of the Chicago Users Group. I was very young back then and after getting a full time job, getting married and having kids, I moved on to the world of the PC and did not look back. About a year ago I reengaged with the group and after having retired and having free time, I offered to restart our long dormant newsletter as well as redo the group web page. It saddened me that so many fine people in the community had passed or moved on but such is life.
The reason for this reply is that I wanted to add a few thoughts of mine and explain why the Chicago Group gave me permission and what my motivation was in restarting the newsletter.
 
First off I would like to address the comment about the early issues having nothing but web content and reprinted old articles. While this is mostly true, I had to start from somewhere and not having sources of new content available, I had to put in more "nostalgia" that I would have liked. I added articles from myself as much as I dared but tried to limit this as this was not supposed to be a "John Behnke Newsletter" nor did I want to give the impression that this was some kind of ego thing all about me.
I think you will find as the months go on, there will be more new content. I have reached out to what is left of the TI Community requesting new articles, programs and anything that might be of interest to the community. Aside from mentioning the next meeting and some discussion of the next TI Faire, we intend the content to be of interest to the entire TI community and not just a Chicago User Group publication. So far I have received a few contributions and they will be published in the April and May Editions. I hope to have more.
 
I would like to thank you for this post and hope you continue to read our newsletter. While it will contain more rehash than I would like, as you suggest in your post, this reborn newsletter will prosper or die depending on the TI community. Retro gaming is all the rage and I would love if the reintroduction of this newsletter, dormant for 18 years, might spark others in rekindling the fire we all once had so many years ago!
 
Once again thanks for your kind words and encouragement!

I'm no expert or fortune teller, sadly just a slowly fading super-fan of the TI-99/4A, which appears (in my personal assessment) to have "peaked".  Years ago there were hundreds of messages a month in places like the old Yahoo site and then AA.  Some very happy, helpful and influential people have passed away though, others were driven off for various reasons which may have affected the fun factor and contributed to the declining participation rate.  Along the way there was a fantastic Newsletter by a guy called "Sparkdrummer" that was called Yesterday's News" in it he covered the best of the best from older newsletters in a format that matched the Newsletters of the time.  I'm sure many of us are waiting for the day when Sparky starts uploading them again. 
Now there is a recently "reborn newsletter", but I caught myself asking, "Why"?   Yeah, I shocked myself too!  << THIS LINK >> will get you a free PDF copy of it, but after looking it over, for the rebirth issue, wondered what it had going for it that 5 minutes with a search engine on the Internet could not have provided.  I really hope this takes off for them and they get the new content they want and viewers and readers they want, because the TI community needs to be more diverse and inclusive, even of newbies or those who are not master programmers or hardware gurus or those that simply want to play games.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!  If an online community is declining, there may be a reason for it other than beloved members passing away, or people being banned, other things may be going on behind the scenes, attitudes, egos or whatever.  So, I hope this Chicago Times Newsletter takes off and brings more people to their website and can help inspire people to engage or reengage.  Whatever though, don't let people influence you to "stay put" and not investigate new things, especially if their format is no longer working.  Sometimes new faces and new ideas can start a whole new chapter... maybe that person will be YOU!

Here this might help with what I'm talking about. https://atarigamer.com/lyxconverter

The LNX to LYX ROM Converter, I've been trying to use this but it seem every rom I have just gives me errors and I get nothing converted. 🙄

This is from 2007, when I first met Nichelle...

Indeed! 

Such a beautiful lady. I'm glad we will always have the classic series to remember her by as well as the other cast members.

I've gotten to meet Bill, De Kelley, Jimmy Doohan, Walter Koenig, George Takei, and Nichelle Nichols from the original series.  Sad to see how many of them have already died.  I never the opportunity to meet Leonard Nimoy.  Nichelle I got to meet several times and it was sad seeing her developing dementia as time progressed.  The last time I saw her on stage it was a convention in Miami and she got so confused answering questions.  I last saw Nichelle (and George) in 2019, at Florida Supercon.

If it's any consolation, I met the late James Doohan once. I was almost 13 years old and I gave him a greeting card. He shook my hand. He was giving autographs at the time at a convention. That was back in 1987. Too bad he eventually passed away. but, he was pretty ill in his old age. RIP, Scotty.

Whether you know him as Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, or Denny Crane, Mr. Shatner is an inspiration to many.  I've met him more than once and he has been very nice to me each time. 
Today Mr. Shatner turns 93!  Happy Bithday, Bill!
 

Finally watched this.  Really cool.  I've saved it for future reference.  🙂

Cheers Paul. That sounds indeed like a heck of a folder. Thanks again for sharing your memories. If this one should surface one day, that would be awesome. Hopefully, it has survived. To this day, so little is known about the JagCD at all. I can't even seem to get to people who were in any way involved into the hardware development of that add-on. Well, maybe in the future, who knows ...

Edit: Well, to be honest, Leonard Tramiel would be an obvious choice in that regard, but I was lucky to get a few sentences from him at all regarding the Jaguar, so I'm not too confident asking about any CD stuff ... but who knows ...
