| rdfs:comment | - The Lynx was released in 1989, with specs similar to a Turbo Grafx 16, far beyond Nintendo's Game Boy. Its screen was not only color like the later Game Gear, but backlit. However, the Lynx cost twice as much as a Game Boy and ate six AA batteries in four hours. The Game Boy won hands down. Atari re-released the Lynx with a lower price and a much smaller size, but to no avail.
- The Atari Lynx was Atari's competitor to Nintendo's Game Boy, released during the same year as Nintendo's system, and ultimately unable to compete with the Game Boy's popularity, despite producing a decent library of titles for its relatively more advanced hardware.
- The Atari Lynx is a 16-bit handheld game console that was released by Atari in September 1989. The Lynx holds the distinction of being the world's first handheld electronic game with a color LCD. The system is also notable for its forward-looking features, advanced graphics, and ambidextrous layout. As part of the fourth generation of gaming, the Lynx competed with Nintendo's Game Boy (released just a month earlier), the Sega Game Gear and NEC's TurboExpress, both released the following year.

However, the Lynx failed to achieve the critical mass required to attract quality third party developers, and was eventually abandoned. Today, as with a lot of older consoles, there is still a small group of devoted fans, creating and selling games for the system. An emulator called Handy was released to play Lynx games on PCs in 2000. The Atari Lynx had several innovative features including it being the first color handheld, with a backlit display, a switchable right-handed/left-handed (upside down) configuration, and the ability to network with up to 17 other units via its "ComLynx" system (though most games would network eight or fewer players). ComLynx was originally developed to run over infrared links (and was codenamed RedEye). This was changed to a cable-based networking system before the final release.

- The Atari Lynx was Atari's competitor to Nintendo's Game Boy, released during the same year as Nintendo's system, and ultimately unable to compete with the Game Boy's popularity, despite producing a decent library of titles for its relatively more advanced hardware. If you want to get a Lynx (which means you're probably an Atari fan or a collector) the second model is recommended, especially for its slightly enhanced battery life. (According to the console's manual, the Lynx II can get five hours out of six AA's, as opposed to four hours on a Lynx I.) Very unique features were put into this system for its time; for example, a back-lit color LCD, and the ability to flip the screen and the D-pad so you can play it left-handed or right-handed. A very small library, but most of the games are actually pretty worthwhile!
