Comic book/ Magazine ad

Recommended Posts

There was a Lynx ad that used to be in my comic books that advertised a list of the games in the Lynx library. I remember it being the only indication to me that Atari still existed during the early 90s (or late 80s). I never saw mention of the 7800 (and didn't know it existed). I never saw mention of the 5200 for that matter. And I barely saw mention of the Jaguar.

 

However, I remember seeing this Lynx ad and doing that daydream thing kids do where they imagine how great life would be with a new toy. I always wanted a Lynx, and now that I have one, I'd like to see the ad again. Anyone have a scan?

From Back cover of L.E.G.I.O.N '91, Issue #27, May 91, and Page 29

from Sandman, Issue #47, March 1993. I'm not sure if the first one is

the one you saw, but it's the only one I could locate at the moment.

Thanks! First one is it. That's the right age range. I was 10 in 1991.

 

Having never heard of some of those games before, and seeing the graphics on the screen, I thought it must have been the greatest system ever. No one I knew had one, and I wanted one so bad, so I could be the only guy I knew playing Slime World, Rygar, and Gates of Zendocon.
