An underrated gem
I simply love the Atari Lynx. The first 16 bit handheld console, in a time of 8 bit GameBoys. It's a very sleek looking gadget, and easy to hold. Battery life with today's AAs is quite impressive, and while the colour backlight LCD may look washed out compared to today's screen tech, it's still clear and crisp enough for all the detail of the games. A stand out title for me is Block-Out, a Tetris contender which uses wireframe 3D shapes and looks surprisingly modern. The feel of the device is sturdy, and neat touches include rubber pads on the back for grip and protection, the innovative curved cart design which makes insertion and removal super easy, and most uniquely, the screen flip mode, to enable left handed players to play with the buttons reversed. The lynx I bought was in particularly good repair, obviously well cared for, and that really helps to enhance the nostalgic play experience. While the Atari Lynx may not have had the killer apps like Sonic the Hedgehog or Mario, it still had some good titles that provided plenty of distraction. Awesome Golf is a particularly charismatic PGA Tour Golf-like game, with a cartoon gopher as your caddy. If you were a Sega or Nintendo kid and appreciate a good handheld device, give the Atari Lynx a try today.

Most Powerful Handheld of its time!
The Atari Lynx could eat the Gameboy and Gamegear alive back in the day and still stands strong today. Capture the '90 nostalgia with this epic bit of kit.
