The Emulation Collective is a website that aims to preserve retro gaming by allowing users to access classic games through their internet browser.

They've recently launched a survey asking users what console they would like to see next - and the Atari Lynx is on the list!

Simply by completing the following short survey - and opting for Atari Lynx - there is a very real chance we could finally see this great console properly preserved for all time. Please show your support:

I voted for the Lynx, though they do have some other cool systems worth voting for.

I am starting to like shootemups but how can you say FPS is boring??? AvP on Jag while it ran alittle slow was one of the best games I ever played.

I have AVP, it's good, great atmosphere...I suck at it though. Anyway, I just dont find FPS games that much fun. I like games that I can pick up and blast away on, arcade style...

There are videos on YouTube; it's a rotation-by-ninety-degrees affair, similar to the way Xybots paints the display though more advanced in a bunch of ways, so would probably have emphasised the strategy even more than the Jaguar original.
