Posted by Mental on November 20, 2015 at 21:06:44 EST in reply to I have one major regret but it was a purchase, not a sale. It was buying an Atari Lynx instead of a fucking Game Boy back in 1991. (n/t) from Esco.
Oh man. What was your reasoning back then? Color screen? ...Chips Challenge?

Follow Ups:
I wanted a color handheld and really bought into the system specs like the brilliant 11 year old I was. I have a soft spot for the Lynx, it had a couple good games (Zarlor Mercenary, Blue Lightning, Pinball Jam) and some solid arcade ports (Klax, Rampart, Xybots). Most of the widely available games were garbage (Batman Returns, Ninja Gaiden, Pit Fighter). Biggest problem was it didn't have a lot of support and the games I really wanted (Battlewheels, STUN Runner, Warbirds) never showed up in my local Toys R Us or Electronics Boutique. It was always shit like Awesome Golf, Basketbrawl and World Class Soccer. I only discovered some of the better games much later via emulation. And of course nobody I knew had a fucking Lynx, I might've played Rampage all of one time with a link cable and that novelty wore off quick. (n/t) (Esco) (22:48:32 11/20/15 EST)
