ssjlance Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Go with the Turbo Express if you're a fan of shooting games and knock-offs of famous games (Neutopia, anyone?). I don't have the Turbo Express, but I have the Turbo Grafx and I love it. Game Gear is cool if you like Master System. I don't know much about the Lynx, though. I've been meaning to buy one for awhile, but I can never find one when I decide to look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Lynx contains many exclusive titles so if you liked Atari arcade games like Hard Drivin', STUN Runner, etc Lynx would be the one to get. Both Lynx and Game Gear has crapload of cheap new games on eBay all the time so it'd be easy to start a big collection with only a single $100 investiment.

jesusc Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Lynx contains many exclusive titles so if you liked choppy, grainy ports of Atari arcade games like Hard Drivin', STUN Runner, etc Lynx would be the one to get. fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUN Runner is easily the most impressive handheld game of that generation. It can never be called choppy thanks to the Lynx's scaling chip and as for grainy???? Have you been playing Night Trap on the mega CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I agree that the Lynx had a tough time doing 3D games like Hard Drivin' and Steel Talons (Hey, what do you expect? It's no Playstation here ), but I thought STUN Runner was done quite well. If you're looking for more great Lynx arcade ports, try Rampage, Xenophobe, Rygar, Toki, Joust, Xybots, A.P.B., Hydra, Klax, Rampart, Paperboy, and Robotron 2084. A lot of those didn't make it to many other home systems. Of course, the most often recommendations you'll hear for the Lynx are for some of it's original games... especially Checkered Flag, Warbirds, and Blue Lightning. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Take it down a notch guys or this thread will meet an abrupt end. For what its worth, I like the Lynx best of all just because of the variety of games that were available. Most (but not all) were of very good quality. I never could get into the GG (I remember trading in my Game Boy for one), because the games were just slightly improved upon SMS games. Nothing about the GG library really interested me and it immediately got put away in favor of the Lynx. The Turbo Express would be the best portable ever if the screen resolution was decent. Instead you get games that look blurry or full of lines because the resolution isn't as good as a regular TV screen. Many games are almost unplayable (or look like crap) because of this.

shadow460 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Man, it's been a long time since I played the Lynx II my cousins had, but I can't remember anything that bad about it. Roadblasters looked faithful to the arcade, at least to me anyway. Maybe time has a way of blurring the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusk2600 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Which one can you play Blazing Lazers, Galaga '90, and Military Madness on? I'd get that one. If money is no object and you want the best looking games, Turbo Express can't be beat. The system isn't THAT expensive, I've seen them go for $60. The games on the other hand are a pain to find anywhere other than eBay. Yet even then a lot of the good ones can be had for less than $20 mostly complete, even cheaper for just the game card. The express is by far the best one to get. I am not taking anything away from lynx or GG but if i had a choice you bet your ass id pick up an express B4 a lynx/GG Edited December 24, 2006 by Dusk2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the PSP, but the GP2X definitely has excellent emulators available for all three platforms mentioned! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
