> > they were talkinga bout the LYNX > was that the COLOR one? There were several color handhelds around that time:
The Turbo Express played the same carts as the TurboGraphix 16 and was, by far the best machine out there - but it also had (I think) the worst layout. It was also very expensive. The Sega GameGear was sega's entry and is most likely the one with the "surfing game" on it. It was the most successful color handhald but was still a general flop. The Atari Lynx was the second most powerful handheld (and had the largest screen) and, I thought, the best layout (it could be flipped for right or left handed use). But it was also the largest unit out there and had a rather anemic library. I loved it, but it died very quickly. A little later Sega also came out with the "Nomad" - a handheld unit that could play Genesis carts directly. The oversized carts made the unit pretty big but still not as large as the Lynx. These were all pretty much flops however - the Gameboy was the only real success (and is still the best selling gaming system of all time - even beating out the Atari 2600 and PlayStation) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
