Battlezone 2000 saw release on the Atari Lynx in 1995 by Atari Corporation. What is more interesting than a new game for a handheld over half a decade after launch is what is inside that cart. While it has been widely known for years now, there is a hidden game in there. What gamers got […]

Retroguru Sends Atari Lynx Gamers Gift
September 24th, 2019 Carl Williams Ah, the good old Atari Lynx, the portable that just couldn’t get off the ground. Blame the platform cost parents and fans had to shell out. Blame the lack of big-name games. Whatever the reason the Lynx was not as popular as it could have been, the fact remains, independent homebrew developers are keeping it […]

Atari Lynx Marks Console Maker Entering Portable Gaming, Nintendo Doesn’t Flinch, September 1st, 1989
September 2nd, 2018 Carl Williams Atari once ruled the gaming landscape. The problem is, they had no teeth in their tigers so to speak.

Wyvern Tales to Bring Final Fantasy Style RPG Action to Atari Lynx
April 8th, 2015 Carl Williams The Atari Lynx was not exactly a barn burner with the fans. Those that purchased it usually had a great time with it, me I always wanted one mainly for that Dracula game but not much else. There have been some homebrew releases over the years, mostly thanks to Songbird Productions who has finished many […]

Prototype: New Version of Alien vs Predator Found for Atari Lynx
March 8th, 2015 Carl Williams This is interesting news to say the least. The Atari Lynx was Atari’s, only, hand held device to be released and, depending on who you ask, it was a horrible failure for the company. We did see some great games for it though, games that, honestly, should have done better and could have had Atari […]

Leery Licensing: Marlboro Licensed Atari Lynx, Plus Prototype Game
November 20th, 2014 Carl Williams Atari was not scared to get out there and try weird things, like trying to convince gamers that the Jaguar was actually a 64-Bit console. Anyhow, Atari was at least trying (Sega, I am looking your way concerning the Dreamcast). Atari’s only hand held, the Lynx, was a decently popular device though it was, unfortunately, […]

Ebay: Atari Lynx Driving School Educational Release Up For Auction
July 27th, 2014 Carl Williams Okay, in the United States, and most of the rest of the world, the Atari Lynx was pretty much a commercial failure. While an interesting portable, it really had no chance against the cheaper Game Boy, even though that Nintendo hand held didn’t even have a color screen and the screen blurred whenever you simply […]
