My latest snag - Lynx P.I.T.S. Portable Information and Training System

[jaguar_fan]

In 1994 Bastian Schick developped a trainig software for people learning for the driver´s license exams and it was based on the Lynx.

 

Driving schools used these Lynx based system on a regular basis in 1994/95.

 

The system consists of:

 

Lynx II

Lynx Power Supply

Lynx manual

P.I.T.S. cartridge

P.I.T.S. manual

P.I.T.S carrying case

 

My set which I just got off ebay is new.

Well, it was a good deal (for me); I paid just 112 Euros which I think is a very good price.

 

I have seen these sets going for 300+ Euros in the past and you can still buy them from a shop over here in Germany (for 495 Euros which is just ridiculous).

Congrats!

 

What do the screens look like? It'd be nice to have the rom file for it.

Here is a review which contains a few screenshots.

 

The review is in German, however the pictures will still give you an idea.

That's a great price. I paid $200(?) for my kit four years ago, and have only seen one complete one for sale (on a European eBay site) since that time. Nice score!

I don´t think so, it was a different seller. But the condition of my set is exactly what can be seen on Video Game Source´s pictures...

The included Lynx II has never really been touched that´s for sure.
