Rybags Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) We have a TV show here devoted to gaming called "Good Game". On last nights episode, they had an article on the Atari Lynx. As usual, some errors in their information, but worth a look. I recorded the show on my HDD recorder, and have uploaded the segment to YouTube.

Isgoed Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Despite the "errors" they gave the Lynx a quite positive review, I believe. This was fun to watch, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimid2 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 That was a pretty good "popular" intro to the Lynx... I wonder if there will be a run on Lynxes in Australia for the next few weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Possibly. I check the eBay pages for Atari, Commodore and Apple daily. Amigas and C-64s were lucky to get $20 a year ago, but lately I've seen basic systems sitting on near $70 with a day to go. The so-called "dealers" are setting ripoff prices - $8 and more even for common 2600 games. $20-$25 for a set of paddles. I just grabbed a set of C= paddles for about $6 from a private seller. Took me a while to get a Lynx and 7800 - I got basic systems in both cases, and the item price was about same as postage. Missed a 130XE a week or 2 ago - really wanted to grab it so I'd have two, but I forgot all about the auction once crunch time came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguar_fan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Very nice video on the Lynx. Thanks very much for uploading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimtene Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Very interesting video. I find it odd that the first lynx game footage they show is of Centipede, which was never officially released. But a fine shout out to Songbird Productions -- dubbed "One of the most prolific names in the Indie Lynx Scene," at the end of the clip.
