I had the atari lynx as a kid. System was awesome. California games, ninja Gaiden, batman returns, spider-man, and many more. Also you can turn the system and the screen rotates with it. They even had a TV tuner and am/fm radio tuner attachments for it.

The only time I ever saw a Lynx, was in the spring of 1991 at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC. I'd gotten a Gameboy for Christmas and was blown away by the backlit screen of the Lynx. At the time I wanted to get one, but I never pulled the trigger. Very nostalgic to see it again.

I've had a Lynx since a few months after its release in 1989. I have the majority of the library, and a couple of each version of the Lynx. It was a great little machine that the Tramiel family who owned Atari at that time were too cheap to support. I have many fond memories of playing Warbirds with two units and a Comlynx cable linking us up, battling against a co-worker who was an out-of-work cargo plane pilot. We'd end up playing throughout our entire lunch break and completely forget to eat. Such a great machine.

One of the unique things about the Lynx was the ability to play it from either side. So if you like to control direction with your right hand and hit the buttons with your left, you just set it up to do that. I had one years ago and got rid of it since I didn't play it much.

There are a few online stores that make custom plastic cases to display on a shelf for Gameboy, GBC, and GBA, and other stuff. They also make custom covers that you buy with the cases so they properly fit in the case for a lot of the games. If you are interested, it might make displaying Gameboy stuff easier

I bought an Atari Lynx when it came out in the 90's. I too had Batman and Xenomorph which was the first Lynx game that was made. All I can say is, prepare to replace the AA batteries on a fairly regular basis as the power needed will gobble up the battery life unless you can find a plug in mini power brick that Atari produced. The original carry case was cool too.
