Its a fun little system. Nice find on Cyber Virus, thats a game I'd like to get but have yet to see for sale. Slimeworld, Shadow of the Beast, Klax and Chip and Rampart are all great fun.

I got it last month from Nick Harlow´s 16/32 shop.

^^Nice set. Enjoy your Lynx.

i'm enjoying cyber virus - it plays a lot like battle tank.

My first Lynx is a model one but I later got a model two, as well. Most people seem to prefer the model two but I still like the model one the best. I like the d-pad and buttons better and I prefer the longer, thinner design. Maybe the model one's design is just what I am used to but I find it more comfortable to hold.

Good score on the AC adapter and car adapter. I've had a Lynx since 1990 and I've never put batteries in it. I've used the external battery pack once, just to see if it worked. Every other time, I either used the AC adapter or the car adapter. I've never had trouble finding an outlet, even at the airport.

Looks like you got a great collection of games, too. I would also recommend Battlewheels, Electrocop, Robotron, Joust, and Ninja Gaiden. Batman Returns and Hydra are also good though not as popular perhaps due to their difficulty.

Both Cyber Virus and Battletank are still missing from my collection.

If you want to consider playing homebrews and prototypes then having a Lynx 2 model is a must.

[Bones Justice]

Why do you need a Lynx 2 to play homebrews and prototypes?

[Atari_afternoon]

A very few of these do not fit properly into the Lynx I unless you manage to dissolve the protective thingy over the game slot, which the Lynx II doesn´t have.

just added:

SHANGHAI
PAPERBOY
KUNG FOOD
HYDRA
XYBOTS
TOKI


toki i remember playing in the neighborhood arcade. the lynx version is fun - but pretty hard with the one hit kills.

xybots is another i remember from the arcade and it's already one of my favorite lynx games.


going to try to find APB and Electrocop next

[Bones Justice]

Electrocop is one of my all-time favorite games.

As for the prototypes and the Lynx model one, I have one odd cartridge, more of a circuit board really, that I got used with one of the Lynx model two's that I bought. I asked my friend where he got it and he said it came with the Lynx when he bought it (used). It came in a CD-ROM jewel case with a nice reproduction of the actual box cover, front and back, though it says 1-6 players (the actual game being 1-4). It plays fine in my Lynx model one but is too long or wide maybe to close the door. It was what he used whenever we used to all comlynx and we never had any problems with it. Anyways, I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about or not but I agree that a Lynx mode two would be easier for something like that.
