ATARI <link=g47.scr>LYNX</l>
sweet portable animal

School. Exercise - books placed far in the corner, he has no idea about the
lesson which is lead by an exceptionally boring teacher. He looks tired after
a sleepness night. His head goes down, eyes are directed to the colourful
screen the size of an audio-tape, headphones which draft stereo tunes only
directly to his ears... Suddenly he makes unexpected short moves of his body,
like having hemoroids... But only his friends know the truth... He plays new a
game on the Lynx, fighting with enemies to survive...
Sounds like a sciencefiction story? Nope, it's something REAL. Do you remember
coin-up machines which flooded the whole world? Who could imagine that few
years later we would witness the release of a hand held video-console?
In 1989, Atari Corp finally managed to do one of it's first intelligent moves.
It purchased a portable video game system from a financially strapped game
company called Epyx. Epyx which had primarily focused in the past on making
video games for several computer and video game platforms had formed a new
hardware division and with a team of Ex-Amiga engineers went to work on
creating an all new powerful and feature rich portable video game system.
What they had created was the Portable Color Entertainment System which became
known as the Atari LYNX. The Lynx was impressive, a 16Mhz 6502 system with
built in hardware scrolling and zooming, excellent sound and more importantly
an easy to program networking language called com-lynx for up to 8 Lynxs to
be networked together for multi-user games. It had been mentioned and hoped
that the Atari Jaguar 64 would use the Atari Lynx as a high-end interactive
video game controller with such high hopes as being the motion tracker for
Alien Vs. Predator or even a Tricorder for a hoped for Star Trek game.
Unfortunately this never came to be. Video61 is now selling Othello, an all
new Harry Dodgson game for the Lynx. Several other developers, especially
Carl Forhan of Songbird Productions has been the hot ticket developer as of
late with several new releases for the Lynx as well as titles for the Atari
Jaguar. The Lynx is far from dead, in many ways people sometimes feel the
Lynx has more life left to it then the Atari Jaguar 64.
