I bought this case from eBay about a year ago. I really like it, protects perfectly my Lynx. I am pretty sure it was designed for the Lynx 1 as it is longer than the Lynx 2.

Wow I have just read through this thread... I can't believe that this is happening! I am so excited! I love my Lynx(es) the screen is the only problem with them. If this project will materialize the Lynx will be the perfect retro handheld console. I really can't wait.

Upgraded version.

So, this is how I imagine my all time favourite game the Simcity would look like on the Lynx . 160*102 pixels with 16 colours.

Glad you are back Eric. I must say I haven't been here either for a quite long time. Will check out the new posts.

Hi candle, I dont know the dimensions of the Lynx screen either, BUT if you need this information because you are planning to make a proper lcd screen for the Lynx then I am happy to disassemble one of my Lynxes and measure the screen ( dreaming, dreaming... ).

I have never played this game before, tomorrow I am going to have a day off anyway, I think I will give it a try.

I have just received my game this morning. Well packaged, it arrived in perfect condition. I am working right now so I haven't played with it yet, I am so excited, I can't wait the evening.

YES YES YES!!!!!!!! I just got an e-mail that a new shipment is on the way!!!

You should try it out with some modern rechargeable batteries. I use 2700 mAh Gp-s, my Lynx works them with 7-8 hours.

My new high score is: 375285 As I can't upload picture I can send the picture in private email if it is needed.

What I have read in some places it seems that the LCD screen of the Lynx is pretty unique, you can't really swap it to a different one. But again I am not very competent in this theme, I wish I was wrong, I am sure many people would pay serious money for a better available screen for the Lynx.

Yeah, it's true about the Lynx ageing. I am really impressed that they work absolutely fine after 20 years. All my Lynxes have perfect sound and screen. I hope they will stay like this for many many more years. Sometimes I think about to get a game gear with some games, but I can just never find a good deal in decent condition. They always look like crap (and almost every case they have no sound or quiet). And the screen lag is pretty bad as well (I remember once I saw a sonic game on it, it was a perfect game to show the limitations of the screen).

Yeah I had the same "issue" some time ago . Now I have about 25 games, and 5 Lynx-es. One in pretty bad condition, it works from the power adaptor but I can't use batteries in it, I have two in almost perfect condition, and I have two brand new, one still unopened in the box, the other I have opened it but I never use it, I store it in a nice metal case away from dust and everything. And yes, it's completely pointless having 5, but it looks like it's a common problem among Lynx fans

Ok, I have tried to upload a picture about my highscore again, but it seems like there is some issue that I use Safari browser. Is there anyone else here using Safari browser?

Hmm... what the hell !? I don't know how to upload picture XD. Never mind, I will try it tomorrow.

Here is my score: 265445

Sorry, I don't want to reveal much right now.. perhaps in 2 months or so I can give something interesting Thanks for offering donation, but I'm not in need of money now.. its mainly time that I need, and I cant buy that, unless you can convince my boss For now, all I need is to see people being excited. That is most motivating I can assure you that there are many many people who are super excited about this project (and I am part of this group). But I know how hard it can be to find some spare time when you have a job, girlfriend, family etc etc. I am planning to make a Lynx game in the future as well, but it is really in the distant future, I don't have the skills for a project like this yet, but I am learning, sooner or later it will happen. So keep up the good work!

It looks like I won't get my Zaku by Christmas

Well, I am thinking to use small pieces of foams inside the Lynx around the wheels, I hope it will work. But to be honest I have never taken apart the Lynx, I hope I won't damage it anywhere. You said that you have already taken apart it and cleaned it twice: is it possible to put the two rubber handles back perfectly, or they will never fit the same way as the do new? About the pouch bag, maybe you are right but the thing is that I don't really have anything else to store my Lynx in and carry it around ( I have a big metal box for storing my other Lynx which is in perfect condition and I never use, but it is way to big to carry it with myself all the time) .

I have exactly the same problem. Those damn dust pieces are so annoying. But are you sure that the problem is with the rubber band between screen and screen lid ? Because I thought that the main problem is the area around the sound volume and contrast changer wheel (those two little wheels on the top of the console that you can change the level of brightness and volume with). Because there are a pretty big gap around the wheels, I can even look inside a little bit, and that space looks more than enough for the dust to be able to penetrate in the console. My idea is to reduce those gaps to as small as the wheels still work but there will be no more space around them.

I know, it's late but never mind I will post my score as well

Yeah Rygar would be nice, or Checkered Flag (I know it was recently but I think it is one of the best game to compete with each other).

It's going to be one of the best links games that's for sure. Keep up the good work Ninjabba.

Any information about when the game will be restocked? I have ordered mine more months ago... I really would like to play with it now.
