The Lynx emulator is so good, it drains all the batteries in your household without you even knowing.

Lynx in the description.

Klax was played vertically. Took me by complete surprise when I booted it up on my Lynx 2.

Clearly they missed an opportunity by not releasing the External Portable Nuclear Power Plant.

Who the hell _doesn't_ watch an entire Ashens video?

Welcome to the Salty Spatoon, How tuff are ya? How tuff am I? How tuff am I?!?! I watched Ashen's Pandora handheld review all the way through. Yeah, So? *The painfully long version* Come right in!

I really like the style of the standard Lynx cartridges. The combination of how sleek and thin they are with the gaudy game logos and the visible contacts at the bottom makes for a very retro-future sort of look!

A real man carries a game gear in one pocket a lynx in the other, and a fanny pack of batteries.

Review the Nokia N-GAGE. There's a game called Ashen.

I loved my Lynx. Like an idiot I sold it before it became retro. My wife managed to get me one, the case and a few games. Great times.

The vertical screen thing via holding the device sideways was something that was somewhat done on the PS Vita on some games.

Programming for this system was quite a chore as far i could see on the techdocs. You had to do things like turning off the CPU while the video chip was using the memory and so forth.

I had that Lynx bag. Completely forgot about it. Hope you talk about Chips Challenge next time, best game on the system imo

I can't tell you how happy I'd be to look around Ashens' house for a day.

The Nintendo DS had a few games using the vertical screen system; one I remember personally is the rather obscure rythm game Beat City. it worked alright once you get used to it.

wow. for being 1989 blue lightning looked amazing :O

If you're reading this........ Have a wonderful day or night🌜🌜😀 Also.......... You're awesome😀😀😀

I put the ash in Ashens.

He pokes fun at games coming with instruction manuals. Even 3DS games don't come with manuals anymore, I miss them :(

I got a Game Gear when they first came out... I loved it! I remember getting G-Loc, Columns and Castle of Illusion with it on Christmas Day and when I first played it, after 5 mins the batteries were dead, so imagine how happy I was when they released the rechargeable battery pack & power adaptor for that!

Every time i see one of these lynx videos the nostalgia builds up inside me like a babbling mountain stream and i find myself on ebay looking for one. I know full well ill be dreadfully disappointed with it, but still i want one. The mark 1 was the only unit for me, i always thought it felt great in the hand with its chunky feel.

This is quite a classy console! Even the cartridge looks very high-tech compared to everything else at the time. Shame it didn't catch on, because the graphics looks incredible for its time. Definitely looks better than even GBC could be compared with GBA even!

Ahh this takes me back. I had a Lynx 1 in 1990/1 and loved it. I was allowed to buy it with the money we made from selling Grandma's piano I stopped playing - success! I played Crystal Mines 2 and Gates of Zendocon quite a lot. Had great memories of playing Rampart via Comlynx cable with the only other guy I know who had a Lynx in my area of Sydney, Australia. When the console was no longer sold and stores were selling off stock, I got the Comlynx cable, 6-cell battery pack and the big carry case dirt cheap. Then Target had boxed games for $5 each and I managed to fill in quite a lot of gaps with unexciting games like Basketball, Tennis and Scrapyard Dog. Scored a Lynx 2 for free years later. Sold the entire collection for WAY less than I should have about ten years ago - right before the whole retro game pricing insanity we have these days. Memories...

I just discovered your Channel, and I'm very pleased with your content. and how your humor never lets things get boring. thank you!

Not sure why people wouldn't stay to the end, these system coverage videos Ashens does are both entertaining and incredibly informative.

That external battery pack is just comical, i love it.

Oh Ashens this is nostalgia overload 😊👍

I bought one in 1989 at a Toys R Us with my own money. Spent hours playing road blasters, klax, california games, blue lightning and others. Back then as a gaming fanatic you really appreciated this thing..

Thank you very much for these retrospective videos Ashens! Especially with this one, I learned so much about the Lynx. I guess it really is a misunderstood species of a handheld, oh well

Slime World was pretty much the only game that supported that wild daisy chain idea. Up to 8 players IIRC. I also remember reading that the giant Lynx 1 was so huge due to focus testing.

Learn something new every time I watch your videos. I am 30 years old and a child of the 90s. I remember the Gameboy and the GameGear but never heard of either of the Atari Lynx handheld game systems.

I haven't watch your vids for 5+ years its been so long I had forgotten your youtube channel but this just bring back memories

Ashes and the Quest for the Last Two Lynx Games - 2017

3:06 "it is the only console I can think of that has games on it you play vertically" hey man, let's not forget the classic Brain Training for the Nintendo DS! Or have you not been training your brain?! DR Kawashima will be disappointed

I'm really happy you're making these videos because the Lynx is such a cool system, so thank you!

I always watch your videos to the end. Your one of my favorite youtubers.

That cable coming out of the broken lynx makes me think that it was a display kit.

That part at the end is hilarious... "I quite misremembered this" 😂😂😂

I really love your videos, I find there's something oddly comforting about your brown sofa and tat, its such a nice escape from the stressfulness of life. I often listen to your videos while I fall asleep because they're so wonderfully dull.

“Please sir, i need to eat and my shoes are on fire” Pure gold, still after all these years.

the bandai wonderswan had actually Quiet a Numbers of games to be played vertically

How did Nintendo not have a GameBoy with any sort of built-in backlight until the GBA SP?

I just discovered your channel and let me tell you it's amazing! Keep the good job!

This thing predates my existence, but it still brings me nostalgia, due to having a father who enjoys collecting old Atari hardware. I still have not managed to figure out California Games, though. Damn that wave... Great video as always, Ashens!

The best part of the Lynx is if you play it, girls all flock to you. That's the Lynx effect.

I hope you'll mention the display mod in the next video, which will give the Lynx I/II an excellent display and an optional VGA output. Doesn't improve battery life but is a nice way to play Lynx games. Display quality is very close to emulation with this display, only downside is that some hi-color homebrew demos won't work. There's also an Everdrive-like micro sd card flash drive for both Lynxs.

The Lynx was amazing! Still is! And the port of KLAX is 2nd to none! Thank you for bringing awareness of this incredible machine!

Finally, I've been waiting for this episode for years!

The Nintendo Switch looked better in the ad

I realize I have been asking for this for like 4 years BUT, Neo Geo Pocket Color review please. Please?

Such a calm and serene flight over the city at night. Wonderful.

I always watching Your vids from start to end. and i like when You telling all those interesting things :)

The Wonderswan also had games that you could play vertically.

I got my expectations all the way up for that blue lightning footage

I always watch your vids to the end!

...I always watch till the end, yer videos are so few and far between, when I do get a YT notification I enjoy every bloody minute 😉😀🖒🎮🕹

Lynx cartridges: Ridged for Stuart's pleasure.

Also, technically the Lynx was the first true 16 bit portable, the Game Gear and Gameboy were both 8 bit (the TurboExpress was one of those "put two 8 bit processors under the hood and call it 16" deals).

I remember wanting an Atari Lynx, but never being able to afford one back in the day. I do not regret having my money going elsewhere whatsoever. Keep doing what you do, good sir. Many thanks.

Man, you really had me hyped for that Blue Lightning footage. I was imagining it shifting to a top-down view of the ship as you flew over the city or something like that. Great video, though. I always love it when you do game console reviews like this, taking a look at all the accessories, games, different models etc. Can't wait for the next part.

The nostalgia goggles are strong with those over-the-city flights

I love how the french translation of the external battery pack is "le pack batteries". They just added "le" like it was already some sort of meme that if you add "le" to anything it becomes French ^^

The lynx1!!!!!! Me and my brother had one, bought by our parents when they were sold off for cheap after the systems was declared dead. It was fun, especially NHL hockey, and linking it to one another. Good times back in the day.

Great to see a return to this sort of video. It was similar sort of vids that made me subscribe originally

Me: "What's the external battery pack take, something stupid like six 9-volt batteries?" Atari Lynx: "Hold my beer."

I'm a simple man. I see Ashens' pasty hands clutching an Atari Lynx, I click like.

That is actually genuinely astounding how good that looks.

These are the best Ashens videos.

I've never seen Ashens make a comment

15:03 Reminded me so much of Twin Peaks' Bob I got chills lol.

I really love the form factor of the cartridges. They are nice and thin and that little lip on them is a nice elegant solution to use to pull them out.

We had a Lynx with the Blue Lightning and Party games cartridges. It was big but quite fun at the time. Thanks for reviewing it Stuart!

*I* care about Klax, Stuart. It's one of my favorite games.

How many times have I come back to watch a man complain in front of a brown sofa ? Not enough Love your videos Ashens

I always watch your videos to the end. Doing my part to help your analytics. A buddy of mine had a Lynx when we were kids. I swear he only showed us it once because we all had Game Gears and game Boys and were obviously way cooler. It was a beast of a handheld machine though.

YES I've been waiting so long for this

4:02 "A little CRT"?! Gosh this thing must've chewed through the battery in seconds.

There was also a TV tuner that docked intio the cartridge slot.

Wow I cannot believe Blue Lightning I remembered that game as looking amazing that game blew us all away when we first got our Lynx . Just shows you how bad our memories are I truly remembered that game as looking better than Master System & NES games. My jaw hit the floor when Stuart showed that footage lol.

I was in high school back when these came out. It doesn't seem like such a long time ago until I see stuff like this! California Games brought back a lot of memories though. I didn't have a Lynx, but I did have it on the Commodore 128 & played that for more hours than I can count.

Still my favourite handheld of all time. I used to play Xenophobe on the Lynx for hours.

Somebody send Ashens Super Asteroids/Missile Command and NHL Hockey!

I was so into Klax on the Lynx back in the day. Great music as I remember.

Best way to spend my birthday morning. Watching a 20 minute long Ashens video. Don't worry Stuart, I'm one of the phew people who watch all your videos all the way through.

This thing has a better battery life then the Nintendo Switch..... 😂😂😂

so this is like a PS Vita

Wow that sound of the plane blowing up at the end of the video sounded amazing for the time.

Your videos abt handhelds are my Gosh-Darn Favorite!!!1!

i can't find this thing on the internet... could someone send me a few "lynx"?

'Viking Child' was one of my favorite games for the Lynx growing up.

That was a nice entry for the Lynx, sliding along the sofa.

I owned the original, but it crapped out after a week. They exchanged it for a lynx 2. I still own it and all of the accessories. Thanks for this walk down memory lane. Booted it up last year and realized that I should have left well enough alone.

Don't ever believe that your fans aren't watching every second of every upload to the end. Quality over quantity, mate! Personally I enjoy your lengthy videos a lot more than the short what's-in-the-plastic-egg-or-crap-bag videos ..

please sir buy some games i need to eat and my shoes are on fire

That Blue Lightning footage reminds me of some Ace Combat missions where it's kind of hard but if you take a minute to look at the scenery it is really beautiful.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR 6 YEARS.

Wow, I would have shat a brick as a kid if I had this. I was years behind and all I got was a gameboy with 3 games.

finally the lynx do the game gear next

God I love a good ashens video! Keep going man

The Lynx is a great handheld. Very handy. I’ve had a lynx 2 for a while but recently ordered a lynx 1 from telegames. Cheers for the video and keep on gaming 👍
