- The Lynx's screen is actually much lower resolution than you think. It
- has been quite a while since I saw the specs, but I am 99.7% certain
- that the horizontal resolution is 160 pixels, and about 70% certain
- that the vertical resolution is between 90-96 pixels.
-
- I believe Sega's Game Gear had a 320x200 screen, and the new Nomad
- almost certainly does, but unfortunately, neither uses a 65xx series
- CPU like the Atari Lynx. There was another, less successful game
- system that also had a portable version, but I cannot recall the
- exact name (something like "Turbo16" or "TurboDuo") which I believe
- used a 65816 CPU, and probably a 320x200 screen resolution.
