Thank you for this bit of nostalgia ... as a 40 year old i look back n was like wow id love a old atari lynx again ... califonia games was the one for me lol ... I actually just recieved today another bit of nostalgia ... which is an original 1986 Rubiks majic in it oringanal box with instructions lol ... unused ... ...i opened it up and it was as if 30 odd years hadnt gone but lol... im pretty sure my skills on california games would still be as good as they were back then ..... thank you for this video ... are you on facebook ??

Up grading my Lynx soon to a lcd high quality screen. Great vid..

These should've been on the 3DS Virtual Console during the 3DS's lifetime, i know 3DS is still around but Nintendo rarely supports it these days.

What it was that fast I didn't see it 😂

❗So which model did you have? The Atari: Lynx 1 or the Atari: Lynx 2?

I've still got 2 Atari lynxs with 30 games. Still Awesome but a charger is a must purchase.

THANK YOU! My biggest gripe with the LYNX and the SEGA NOMAD was the battery longevity or complete lack of sufficient power🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋 drained these systems fast. I did end up getting a Sega Nomad later with a AC plug. But back then I got the Gameboy due to its lower price. Granted I really wanted the Lynx. I was brought up on the 2600, later the 5200, and even the 7800? That one still baffles me...lol. Still Atari was a awesome company in the 70's. Atari Age magazine. The ability to play arcade recreations at home albeit hideous recreations....lol. Also my 2600? I owned ONE. For almost 10 years that thing played and played and played....and played. Never broke once. Then the 5200 and the Jaguar. Atari crapped out. Sad but I thought we'd see a Nintendo, Sega, Atari, and maybe ColecoVision II or ?? But as with many past or childhood memories they crash and burn, get old and become irrelevant. Sad.

Your video was awesome! Subbed ¼ of the way through. Atari may not have been perfect but some of these games were really decent in looks anyway. I can't judge controls since I never played them. 🦇Batman🦇Returns looked really good, the Electrocop looked OK but was a obvious rip-off of Robocop, even the little enemies were tiny little ED-209's lol. The Desert Strike looked good. The Centipede however looked TERRIBLE. Overall I know this system took some bashing, lots of it. The main problem was with the battery🔋🔋🔋🔋life or LACK of life. They drained the power FAST. If you were say going on a long ride or car trip, you better bring a bag full of batteries. I never had a Lynx. I wanted it, but instead I got the Gameboy. It was cheaper, had more accessories and you could play it longer-term on the battery life. Not that my parents knew that. The Gameboy cost less, lots less if I remember correctly, so that's why I got that over the Lynx. Back then I was bummed. The Lynx was in color. You could play it at night or in the dark, IF I remember correctly. Honestly though the Gameboy did turnout to be a better overall buy. But when your a kid and you see bells and whistles and graphics that no one's seen on a handheld device, ideally you wanted it. But again when your 7-14 years old, finances and money aren't your deciding factor. As usual though my Mom was right, LOL, SHE ALWAYS WAS!

i like it

make a vídeo of Wii u games joshnny assaski 😔

Thanks for the vid. Cool channel. I never had an Atari Lynx, but from what I see, I really like the look of the graphics. Sound seems shitty, though. But what was the killer app for the system? Most games appear to be cheap, slow and boring. Raiden looked good, Lemmings, too and Road Riot. What could have been the best game, Eye of the Beholder, is one of the uglier ports. Interesting system nonetheless.

Atari's systems never had good sound. The 2600, the 5200, and later the 7800 all basically had a similar sound chip. Very tinny, and distorted. The Lynx was the first colored small hand-held system. The Sega produced a hand-held Genesis called the NOMAD. THAT was a great system. The Lynx was unique though. But one major issue...sane with the NOMAD, they sacked battery🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋 power fast! I ended up with a Gameboy, which at first I was hoping for a Lynx. But after learning it's shortcomings I was glad I passed.

Actually look like good graphics and better sound than the 7800

If I remember the 7800 had a similar sound chip or the SAME sound chip as the 2600. Why they chose that I have NO CLUE? The tinny and distorted sounds ... ugh! Some of them worked. Some were annoying as hell, and some were just God Awful! It was what it was though, and back then I can remember playing my 2600 for hours and hours.

n-gage???all game

Why does the image look so pixelated, was the console really that way? it is awful

It wasn't pixelated back then, when viewed in a small low quality lcd screen.

I like atari lynx games for what they are, however, most games are to me known as unfriendly,unexplainetory,difficuilt and boring, along with repeating boring music or no music at all, or a cheap ass boring ending,games such as hydra,batman,bill & teds adventure,blue lightning etc,,, Not that they are bad no, they are amezing but in terms of gameplay i personaly i got enough after playing for 5 minutes. But still the lynx along with those games are graphically mind blowing.

2 problem with Lynx: - screen is awful (for example even resolution smaller than Gameboy/GameGear) - No good games, actually,no games at all besides, it has awesome power... ElectroCop is a good demonstrate example

@MegaAshWilliams Are you *Actually* saying there are only _two_ good gameboy games? With over 1000 games, and a 14 year lifespan, I may be hard pressed, but I'll name a few of my favorites. Gargoyles Quest, Batman: the video game, alleyway, motocross maniacs, Castlevania adventure and of course Super Mario Land.

❗BLOODY HELL, this was a TERRIBLE Handheld. NO WONDER it was beaten by 'GameBoy' and even 'Game Gear'. Despite being able to get ROMs for Free, I still can't find enough games to want to play...

Lynx was never a good Platform... Compare with other 16bit-Consoles like Genesis/Sega Megadrive or SNES - it can't mess with them... Ok, it's a Handheld - but the Grafics and Sounds are relative worst... Nostalgic!!!

Even Sega's Gamegear has better Resulution and faster Gameplay with some nice Games... And it's 8bit, not 16bit like the Atari Lynx... The Lynx was very rare and expensive also - here in Austria, for sure... Sorry for my bad English, PEACE!!!
