- Not to be blunt myself, but...; how the hell do stores in other cities
- and states apply to me? I bought my Lynx in New York, after I did
- every store that I saw it in dropped it (T"R"U, The Wiz, Software
- etc.), and the line disappeared from the E. Boutique catalog sent to
- my house. You guys missed my point, I can find somewhere around 5
- games total where I live. Do you expect me to go running around the
- country to find games? Hell no! I don't think NYC is the center of
- the Universe, but it is a hell of a big market for the Lynx to
- disappear from! Like I said the TG-16 survives (at 69.95) and
- it's career has not been stellar.
-
- My comment about the Game Gear was not a slight on the Lynx, I'm just
- saying that I wanted a (portable) affordable (no TurboExpress)
- handheld color system. I'm not rich, it took me some time to get the
- money to buy the system I wanted. Now that I did, the stores no
- longer support it? Say what you want, the Lynx may be the best damn
- system ever invented, but I say that that sucks! I'm not into specs,
- just playing some good action/sports/puzzle games, If the Lynx can't
- give me that then I'm not going to like it period.
-
- I sincerly hope that Atari can get it together, but until then I've
- got a system and no games, tell me should I be happy?
