Hi yall, I've just purchased a Lynx II, Carrying Case, AC Adapter, and 26 games (Hockey, Checkered Flag, APB, Pinball Jam, California Games, Pit-Fighter, Rampage, Batman Returns, Ninja Gaiden, Pac-Land, World Class Fussball/Soccer, Gauntlet, Blue Lightning, Electra Cop, Gates Of Zendocon, S.T.U.N. Runner, Road Blaster, Kung Food, Steel Talons, Tournament Cyberball, Shadow Of The Beast, Crystal Mines II, Basketbrawl, Ishido: The Way Of The Stones, Switchblade II, and Eye Of The Beholder).

I am wondering where the best place to get boxes and manuals for the games that dont have them and also what I can do to protect my boxes. What is the best box protecter out there for Lynx games?

Anyways glad to be the proud owner of an Atari Lynx!!

Are these any good?

And is Dinolympics the same game as Dino Dudes on Jag?

Yes, they're both retitled ports of the multi-platform game, The Humans.

I too have a near new Atari Lynx II with Electrocop which is awesome, Robosquash and Batman Returns. I wanna play Dracula next but I am keen to play the Lynx's fantastic library of Arcade conversions and am keen to enjoy the programming talents of John Sanderson (Steel Talons and Hard Drivin). There is so much to enjoy on the Lynx. I love it!

Welcome to the forums! Looks like you have an impressive collection gathered already. I can definitely suggest to try and get Zaku.. I think I read there is going to be another batch. And always keep an eye open for the homebrews :)

I emailed the Zaku publisher and production of the new batch has begun. I'm on the waiting list :)

I'm another happy new Lynx owner!

Thanks to hied587 I got a Lynx II and a few games.

One of my friends had a Lynx in the 90s, I remember playing Xybots and California Games. I had been playing some Lynx games with an emulator and I decided to get the real thing. It's great, I'm playing it when ever I get spare time, I think my other consoles are getting jealous :)

I wanted to get EOTB but I was a few days too late to buy it in the marketplace, but it looks like it went to a good home.

The best thing about lose games is you dont have to worry about boxes! the systems for playing after all, allot of the games are actually still available BNIB, so you could look at having 1 play and 1 collection copy for the games..

Hey-hey, cool, it´s great to own a Atari Lynx II, cause recently i got it ! It needs a little fixing, but that´s ok, because i need just 2 new caps ( 470 uF and 100 uF ) to replace, but they are cheap :) I don´t have any games yet, but i ordered already Checkered Flag for Lynx so im glad and happy :) Here´s a picture too:

Cool. Wish I could afford to collect like that, but I can't.
