The Atari Lynx Project - All 76 Games - Every Game (US)

I am going ot get this console for Rygar, slime world, toki, viking child, and switch blade 2.Thanks for the video.

Wasn't all 79

Double Dragon is at 2nd person view, lol, xd/.

I'm sure it was a nice handheld for its time, but by modern standards not much seems to have been lost. I don't know why, but I'd rather play a Game Boy version of a console game like those from the NES than an Atari Lynx version. It feels like in its attempt to do more, it honestly did a whole lot less from a modern perspective. Trying to deliver on full color games on a handheld and a more console-like experience just wasn't all that doable at the time. I used to lament that GB, GBA and other handheld games weren't quite like their full console releases when ported over, but now I realize it was a blessing. They'd have nothing worth mentioning about them if they were.

I mean why today would you choose to play, for example, the GBA ports of NES/SNES Super Mario games, when you could just play the NES/SNES Super Mario games instead? On your phone or a retro-geared third-party handheld.

Wild that there are only 76 games for this platform, though. That seems so low a number, but I guess unlike Nintendo and their Game Boy, Atari migrated to a newer system with the Jaguar much sooner... and the Game Boy Color was essentially the same system, just with a visual enhancement, so arguably it's not even a new system, though there were some games released that only worked on the newer handheld. I'm also probably biased. I've never actually liked Atari all that much. Their golden era was before my time and I took no notice of them beyond the initial Atari system we had for a short while (probably near or maybe even after Atari as a company died and was sold off) and their name publishing a few games I was playing, like Neverwinter Nights, the Bioware D&D RPG I loved as a kid.

Wow! This is amazing!

LYNX GENIAL !!

Im currently at 47 of 71 games needed for a full set

Steel Talons looks like a proper flight sim by the standards of the time, probably a bit ambitious for a handheld! I like the graphics of Slime World, it looked distinctive. There look to be some good games on the system, though I remember at the time it had its critics (mainly for being battery hungry, I think).

Anzzerd Cheetah Game boy Atari Lynx Sega Game gear

Yeah, this was way ahead of its time. Its failure to out compete Gameboy shows that with gaming systems, like most other things, many factors determine success.

Good old Atari, great job VGL.

I played some of these games on my channel, if you're interested stop by.

With all due respect to anyone who loves this console, but nearly all of those games seem really bad to me. Just a few of them I wouldn't mind trying out, but far fewer than the showing on the Gameboy or Gamegear. Granted, the comparison is hardly fair due to the differences in library sizes, but still. For all you afficionados out there, are the games better than they look?

Это какое то недоразумение, а не портативка хД Ни 1ну игру не советую даже пробовать играть, советую забыть как страшный сон.
Но автору всё ещё благодарность, за его труд о/

The atari lynx was a good handheld, i live in the uk and back when the lynx was doing the rounds we used to have a store called Dixons and they would have a games corner and a podium with handhelds bolted on to bendy sticks and the atari lynx was there along side the game gear and game boy, they would always have californa games running on a lynx 1 and i always remember being super impressived by it especially the screen, on the odd occasion you would see blue lightning, i bought a lynx a few years later and it still remains my favourite of the old 90s handhelds.

Atari needs to bring out Lynx and Jaguar compilations games for all popular consoles. There's some on the Atari 50th anniversary compilation but only a few.
Also Activision 2600 compilation would be cool

I guess it has better hardware specification than famicom

I had one of the original versions. Battery drainer and the res was so low, it forced harsh graphics decisions for the devs.

This should have been a console too. Is was really good. Far better than the 7800

76? i have 85

Si no hubiese sido por la cuestión de la duración de las baterías a esta consola le habría ido mejor que la gameboy

just picked up a lynx in 2022
a bit late 🙃

I finally got my McWill replacement screen installed. Now my 30 year old Lynx is getting more playtime than my PlayStation 5.

They never released some American handhelds and consoles in Japan

Damn this bring's back memories of my childhood, crystal mines was by far the best game for the console hands down.

gb for kiddos, lynx for teens!!!

Dracula seem a creepy game, i mean look good

Some games are smooth as butter and are really impressive, other games run like absolute trash.
Atari really should have had better quality control.

A few of those games look way better than anything on the Genesis or SNES! The lynx was definitely ahead of it's time. I wish it had done better.

Actually wish I had a Lynx but only half of the game library is worth having but I hear HomeBrewers are still making cool games for it even Today!

The Lynx was definitely a superior hardware. And it did have some third-party support for games like Double Dragon and Rygar. But I'm sure that it suffered from the same battery-drainage problem as the Game Gear.

Lynx Hardware was insane for his age not only scaling but also sprite multiplexer that allow in fact endless sprites on screen with no slow down. too bad Atari make a lot of marketing mistakes : in Fact Tramiel know exactly how to sell a computer ( success of Atari ST was an example) but not know how to sell a games device.

This console was impressive looking back it kinda sucks

The scaling on some of these games is absolutely insane for the time
This hardware probably even mostly out powers the Game Boy Color

Too bad this sucker was big, expensive and a battery hog because on the other hand it was very advanced for its time.

There is something wrong with this video, it stops playing every other game

That some real nasty sound !

This system is a total shit fest.

These games where hard because 1 the console overheated.
2 If you used batteries they did not last for long.

Great and underrated console

Man, some people they could get away with any damn thing as long as their portable was in color, huh?

Are you going to do atari 2600

ATARI ❤❤❤

Great Job!

❗So what model did you have?

The Atari: Lynx 1 or the Atari: Lynx 2?

❗BLOODY HELL, this was a TERRIBLE Handheld.

NO WONDER it was beaten by 'GameBoy' and even 'Game Gear'.

Despite being able to get ROMs for Free, I still can't find enough games I to want to play...

Still have my Lynx 2 I picked up when it dropped. This thing was amazing and shit all over the Gameboy. People are fucking stupid.

The interesting thing about the Lynx is that it’s sprite scaling capabilities are on par, if not better, than Mode 7 on the Super NES. There’s not a lot of software that takes advantage of it though, unfortunately.
