List of Lynx Reviews (my opinions)

The following list of reviews are my OPINIONS of the Lynx library.
I have played each of these games (the tolerable ones) for more than 5 minutes and in most cases have beaten the game (or at least the 1st level).
I'll use the following format: 1-10 rating (1=poor, 10=best) and rate each for:
(sound - w/headphones) (visual) (gameplay) (overall).
Also, please note that I haven't played any of these as multi-player.
