+Sauron Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah, it would've been nice if they had given it this award, say, about 15 years ago. Still, nice to see that not everyone has forgotten about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_lynx1989 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 It was really white of them,wasn't it?Only after the 18th Anniversary of the Lynx having come on the U.S. and Japanese market came and went(Oct. 11th 2007), WITHOUT fanfare too!Does someone want to recognize the thing like it was something special then.Much like the Sony PSP is considered now!The Lynx was the first techno wonder!Nintendo and Sony finally caught up to and surpassed it only some 15(!) yrs later.Some AWARD guys.Come on!Get real once.It's like saying,"Star Wars and Jurassic Park had great SFX!

ZylonBane Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 What was so innovative about the Lynx's screen then? I always figured it was a bog standard backlit color LCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent X Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 What was so innovative about the Lynx's screen then? I always figured it was a bog standard backlit color LCD. It was the first handheld video game system with a full color screen. It's great to see the Lynx receiving this type of recognition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Since when do they give out Emmys for video games? I thought they were for TV shows only. Are they trying to branch out and be like the Golden Globes or something? Shows how much I know about Emmys. Anyway, they should have waited a year later, and recognized it on its 20th birthday. It'd make a nice anniversary present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th lutz Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Since when do they give out Emmys for video games? I think they started last year. The Nintendo D pad got an Emmy award last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like 1989 all over again,you know.All the retro compilations and the Lynx winning awards.Hell,I expect to hear that Rolling Thunder,Vindicators,720 Degrees and a new Lynx 2 model are in the works! Sometimes,I have thought about how nice it COULD have been for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
