Tempest Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 I was digging around in my basement for some boxes to ship some games out in, when I came across something interesting. While grabbing at a particularly large box at the top of a percariously balanced pile it fell on me and revield a second pile of boxes behind it that I had forgotten about. Poking out of a box at the top was a very dusty box with an Atari logo on it! When I finally got it down it turned out to be the box to my Atari Lynx I system, and when I opened it up I found five Lynx game boxes inside! Everything was in amazing condition, just a little dusty. I'm starting to wonder what else is lurking in the dark recesses of my basement...

Probably hundreds of long, lost prototypes! So what were the five Lynx games? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are those two styles? The first was just a flat cartridge without a lip of any kind, although it did have some raised bumps on the end. These were difficult to remove from the Lynx, so then Atari added an edge that was perpendicular to the cartridge. It wasn't until later that Atari came up with the nicer, curled lip. I'm looking for these so I can take good pictures of them for the AtariAge Lynx section I'm working on. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 28, 2001 Author Share Posted November 28, 2001 I could scan those for you, I have all three variations. The bumps, the two bars, and the curled lip. I'll get around to that unless someone beats me to it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd really like is to borrow them from someone so I can take some high-resolution and well-lit photographs of them. I'd gladly pay shipping in both directions. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 28, 2001 Author Share Posted November 28, 2001 I'll throw them in with the 5200 manuals when we finish our trade so you can scan them. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
