The Lynx is one of my favourite machines ever. Satisfying and chunky, great sound and music, and some really impressive games like Warbirds which was a flight sim with with a polygonal world and pseudo-3D sprites.
Kudos to those involved with this effort (and the wider scene), but I've still got a unit that runs after all these years, and I'll be very sad when the actual hardware dies and only emulators remain.

Both my brother, I and two of our friends had the Lynx. It was pretty magical setting up that token ring network cable and playing games like Todd's Slimeworld 4 way.

- vanadium 7y agoRetrofitting an LCD screen into one makes it a lot better visually and easier on the battery life. Easy to tear down and repair, to boot.
- nolok 7y agoWhat tech was the original using for its screen ?
- ofibrvev 7y agoIt uses an LCD, a lowres super twist shit one and it uses a CCFL backlight which eats battery. So replacing it with a different active matrix LCD with LED backlight can improve battery life and quality (double res)
- ianai 7y agoIirc, mine bled through the display horribly too. Very fun games and hardware though.
