retrozoneorg Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Lynx or Sega Game Gear? The Lynx had a 16-bit graphics processor and a 16-bit data bus. The processor speed was also on par with the Z80 used in the Game Gear. There really is no contest when you look at the specs... The Lynx was the most powerful by far.

The_Laird Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 This question has been asked a million times times here Without question its the Lynx. The Lynx has a 16-bit graphics engine with hardware scaling, scrolling, panning, skewing and over 1000 sprites. The GG has none of this. The only minor advantage the GG has is a slighty higher resolution (but a worse screen) and 32 on screen colours compared to 16 for the Lynx. But the Lynx can palette switch per scanline to display alot more so really its a moot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emehr Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 @ Palpatine pic. That makeup job was hilariously ridiculous. More on-topic: Lynx, of course. All you have to do is play the games to know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Joe Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 That's kinda like asking "Whih was more powerful? Sega Master System or Super Nintendo?" They each have their strenghts and weaknesses, and the Master System COULD produce great graphics that pushed the limits of an 8-Bit machine (have you seen Mortal Kombat? It looks nearly 16-Bit. Seriously.) But in the end 16-Bit usually wins over 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ite Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Crazy all this time I thought Game Gear was more powerful. Didn't Game Gear do better in sales though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Lynx says: "Fabulous secrets were revealed to me the day I raised up my sword and said by the power of Grayskull!" That should answer this question very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 And you ask this on a biased ATARI forum because.......? But yes, Lynx is more powerful, even running on batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ite Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I love all the Atari systems just never had Lynx, lol this isn't a hate message at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannesmutlu Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 And you ask this on a biased ATARI forum because.......? But yes, Lynx is more powerful, even running on batteries. the lynx maybe more powerfull then the gamegear,but the gamegear was compatible with sms games trough a master gear adaptor,it also loads games straigth from the cart, no complex lockout encryption code and decompression needed and it works with sram rather then dram.
