sirlynxalot Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) It is shaped like a lynx!In the bottom corner you can cleary see that lynx is fun for the entire family! - of course this setup would have cost the family between $700 and $800 dollars in 1990 dollars! Here you can see the new blockbuster lynx software that will be out soon, such as Vindicators... I never would have expected Zarlor Mercenary to be marketed as a "3D" game, but I know what they mean Source: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-Atari-Lynx-Sales-Brochure-Player-and-Games-Mint/132084068608?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D41375%26meid%3D2721e3786b2b47faab0d025aa7ee12e6%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D391678734380 Edited February 11, 2017 by sirlynxalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 There must've been a massive screwup or miscommunication somewhere, as this was one of the first games announced but was never completed. Did the programmer leave? Did Atari feel that the game had too little popular appeal? Mystery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's a real shame... don't suppose some talented programmer here wants to try to resurrect it? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That's interresting! I had one that otherwise was similar but not 'cut out' and with red background. Does anyone happen to have an image of the red foldable pamphlet with the same california games surfing image? I used to stare at that one a lot and dream myself away before the christmas I got my own Lynx I think I've seen some image of it before but couldn't find any online last time I looked.

LX.NET Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) @TurboLaserLynx, did you mean this brochure? Edited February 23, 2017 by LX.NET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yes, that's it! Thank you so very much LX! Oh the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feelings. Apparently it was not that similar to the cut out brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 There is also a German version. I'll add it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Did you know that there are at least three variations of the Lynx shaped brochure? Shown in photos are English small, larger and French. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 What does superdrai mean as used in the red pamphlet? Is that like super dry as in cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX.NET Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Superdraai means superturn. It is Dutch. Marketing speech for the ability to flip the Lynx screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
