Draikar Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I always wanted a LYNX since they first came out, I just got a LYNX version 1 AND LOVE IT !!! I never knew the size of this baby was so BIG, I imagined it being the size of a GameBoy Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3V Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 You also got the larger of the 2 Lynx models - the Lynx II is signifigantly smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 The D-pad on your Lynx looks different. I had one of these larger Lynx 1 units back in the day and I could swear that my D-Pad was all black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draikar Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 Was there a lot of games for this system ? Adrian M, I seen some with the all black D-pad and there were some I think that were all gray too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few games, in fact. You can get a list of them right here at Atariage by clicking on the "Lynx" section and digging around a bit. You'll find a number of helpful reviews, too.

AtariDude Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Congrats on obtaining the Lynx. I hope you have a great time with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptik76 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Congrats! If you get a chance (if you don't have many games yet), check out some of the multi-game Ebay lots. You can get a dozen games for around $15-$20 at some of those auctions, and a lot of them are good (Chips Challenge, Xybots, Crystal Mines, Gates of Zendocon, Rampart, etc.). It's a good way to get your game collection off to a nice start if it isn't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros2 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Careful with that Lynx 1 bud. The paint rubs off on those suckers. Lynx 2 does not have that problem. With that being said, the great thing about the Lynx is that some of the best games can be had for cheap. Klax, Shanghai, Xybots, Rampart, Pinball Jam can be had for less than $10 and some even less than 5. Its great to collect and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draikar Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 I will be gentle with it since it looks new (even smells new) Only games I have are Xybots and Crystal Mines II, they seem fun but I want more games for this system to see its full power of entertainment. Someone once said a system is only as good as the games you own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 The D-pad on your Lynx looks different. I had one of these larger Lynx 1 units back in the day and I could swear that my D-Pad was all black. WOW, good observation, I have a LYNX 1 now, and my D-pad is all black too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Someone once said a system is only as good as the games you own. Ain't that the truth, I hate it when people say a system sucks and they only have a few games and just managed to get some bad titles; people often give up on a system too soon, without exploring what's available and asking what games are good for it. The titles you have now are both good games, but neither show anywhere near the full potential of the system, nor are they necessarily the funnest games, though that's a matter of opnion.

SwedenLynxer Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I never knew the size of this baby was so BIG, I imagined it being the size of a GameBoy Advance. The GameBoy Advance is for babys (or persons with baby hands) the Lynx is for real men :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pynew Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Welcome to the world of the lynx,it is a great system to collect for,and like it has been said it is not that expensive.look out for chequered flag,klax,shanghai and lemmings just to name a few.Good luck and have fun! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadLynxer Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Only games I have are Xybots and Crystal Mines II, they seem fun but I want more games for this system to see its full power of entertainment. Someone once said a system is only as good as the games you own. My recommendation for games are Battlewheels (on ebay for about $10.00) and the new release Alpine Games (if you happen to have the money for it).

GARTH Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I,ve seen 3 distinctly different lynx 1 models in my lynx gathering you are correct in your post about the buttons being black there is one with the buttons that are all grey coloured and the one with black joypad and grey buttons i,m not sure if there are internal differences as my 2 have the black buttons and joypad Garth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
