I'm going to need to look up a game manual for this one, no idea what I'm doing or how to use half of the items I'm finding.
Thanks for all the Lynx game suggestions in my previous post - I'm on the hunt!

I finally found another! Until today, I have never encountered anyone else who owned an Atari Lynx. It was my first video game system, which I saved up for and bought myself. It was fantastic, and I loved it, until it broke. I mailed it off for repair. After many weeks, it came back fixed, and I was again thrilled. Then it broke again, and I did not mail it out a second time.
I never owned one! Wasn't even aware of it as a kid, all I knew was Game Boy and Game Gear back then.
I still don't have the original hardware, though these carts are making me consider tracking an original system down. I'm using an Analogue Pocket system to play these at the moment.
I might still have that broken unit buried in my parents’ basement somewhere. Likely next to my Sega Game Gear that probably still works.
Do you remember joust?? I loved that game
I still have mine, it works as well!
I had a few games but I only ever played Paperboy and Kung-Food.
I have one! It never really got a killer app game, but I always appreciated its quirks.
I always thought it was pretty genius that you could rotate the screen 180 degrees to make it right or left handed.
The Analogue is so sweet
It's a fantastic device!
