- I just noticed that Bart Smit was selling Lynx games for HLF 49,-.
- Normally the games cost HLF 89,- at Bart Smit (The biggest Dutch toy-store).
- The Atari 2600 was also selling for HLF 49,-, including a free game.......
-
- I asked the manager if they were dropping the Lynx, but he said that they
- were just getting rid of this stock for inventarisation. They will continue
- selling the Lynx (Atari Benelux confirmed this). So maybe it's the same with
- Toy's 'R Us.
- BTW T'RU has just opened a store in Holland I believe, but it is in the
- eastern part of the country.....
-
- I've heard rumours that Atari Benelux has fired most of its workforce....
- Only six (!) people are working there now. At the beginning of 1992 there
- were 30 people working there.....
- This has not been confirmed, it is only a rumour.
- Now for some bad news that is certainly true: Atari Benelux is not shipping
- new Lynx games for the comming month (Dracula and Dirty Larry are in the
- warehouse), they are planning to put all effort in the Falcon.....
- I can understand this, but it pisses me off as a Lynx user. If they keep
- doing this they will be sorry.....The last new game was Switchblade II,
- 2 month old and a bad game. Hockey was the last good game for me, and I
- already forgot when it came out.....
