Looking to really add some more games to my Lynx collection. What are some really stand out games for the Lynx?

Yeah, it's tough to suggest stuff without knowing what you currently have and what sorts of games you enjoy.

In a nutshell, some games I would suggest for anyone though: Joust, Robotron, Qix, and Crystal Mines II. All can be found pretty easily (I know I have them all at the GOAT Store).

Some other easy-to-find games that I think are great if you like similar titles -- Chip's Challenge, Hydra, Paperboy, Batman Returns, Battlewheels, Ishido, Super Skweek, Batman Returns, STUN Runner, XYBots, Shanghai. Again, all easy to find titles. That's one of the nice things about the Lynx, they made a bazillion of most of the titles, so you can find them pretty easily to this day.

I only have Switchblade 2. I'm looking at getting Joust, Hydra, Battlewheels, and Chip's Challenge.

But I think I'm going to have to hold back on the Lynx collecting, I just splurged on the limited edition for Sturmwind on the Dreamcast.

The two games I keep coming back to are Pinball Jam and Shanghai.

When I first got my Lynx, 1997 or so, I was all about S.T.U.N. Runner and A.P.B., but my tastes seem to have changed a lot since then.

The great thing about the Lynx, is there are so many genre's to choose from.

I personally enjoy most of the arcade ports. Its great to pick up the Lynx and have a quick blast.
STUN Runner, Rygar, Hydra, Battlezone 2000, Paperboy, Roadblasters, Rampart...the list goes on.

You can't go past all the Epyx games too. Blue Lightning, Electrocop, Gates of Zendocon, Chips Challenge, Zarlour Mercenary etc.
