I’m going to need to look up a game manual for this one, no idea what I’m doing or how to use half of the items I’m finding.
Thanks for all the Lynx game suggestions in my previous post - I’m on the hunt!

I finally found another! Until today, I have never encountered anyone else who owned an Atari Lynx. It was my first video game system, which I saved up for and bought myself. It was fantastic, and I loved it, until it broke. I mailed it off for repair. After many weeks, it came back fixed, and I was again thrilled. Then it broke again, and I did not mail it out a second time.
The Analogue is so sweet
It’s a fantastic device!
I never owned one! Wasn’t even aware of it as a kid, all I knew was Game Boy and Game Gear back then.
I still don’t have the original hardware, though these carts are making me consider tracking an original system down. I’m using an Analogue Pocket system to play these at the moment.
I might still have that broken unit buried in my parents’ basement somewhere. Likely next to my Sega Game Gear that probably still works.
Do you remember joust?? I loved that game
I still have mine, it works as well!
I had a few games but I only ever played Paperboy and Kung-Food.
I have one! It never really got a killer app game, but I always appreciated its quirks.
I always thought it was pretty genius that you could rotate the screen 180 degrees to make it right or left handed.
I might have the instruction book!
I definitely have my old lynx. And I think my brothers too.
I wonder if it works…
Edit: and just to mention a few games I own and enjoyed…
- Turbo sub
- Pit fighter (looked amazing at the time, too)
There is another with a ton of minigame puzzles and in trying to remember what it was called… I need to dig mine out tomorrow.
I had the gen 1, my brother got the gen 2, I got both when he wasn’t as into it.
I’ll add those to the list, thanks!
I just rebuilt mine a week ago, hadn’t played it in 20+ years, had to replace the key pad rubber, some power bits (I decided to do a clean power mod) and the screen was cracked so I did a ISP screen mod. Looks awsome now and I’m already at level 47 on chips challenge, happaly writing down the codes in my notebook just like as a kid.
