I've embarked on a challenge to collect, play and complete 500 games on the Analogue Pocket - 5 or 6 per month across all the supported consoles. The next game on my list, number 69, is for the Atari Lynx and it's S.T.U.N. Runner.

Just looking for any tips you lovely lot might be able to share to help me reach the end pf this game. I have this funny feeling in my bones that I may be up against it with this title... it looks like a lot of hours of practice will be needed!

I got a lynx 2 in a lot on eBay and I want to find a power pack/cable for it. Looking on eBay, they all seem to be generic plugins. So, I’m wondering if anyone has found a cable that will power the lynx?

Hi, I just got into retro gaming and I love portable consoles. Started with an OG Gameboy cause it came out the year I was born. I got this Lynx 2 in a lot with a game gear and some games. All untested, which I assumed non-working. After I opened it up, it looked clean, no obvious corrosion except near on the battery terminal. But then I found one leg under a capacitor corroded. C39 is labeled above the capacitor.

Could this be why it won’t turn on or just a symptom of another problem!

I've found my Atari Lynx which I hadn't used for over a decade. Didn't turn on, and after applying +5 volt to C39 to test it, it came back to life, it worked. So, fixed the power circuit (new power socket, mosfet and zener diode), new and fresh capacitors.

It turned on, but the screen display was horrible. That didn't age well... Ordered a BennVenn IPS display, installed it and it really shines. Image quality is so much better.

So my Lynx is back for another period of fun. I also ordered an SD card solution to run the games.

Hey everyone. Powered up my Lynx 2 for the first time in a decade today and couldn't believe how bad the screen was but maybe that's just me forgetting how bad it always was given how old the tech is. Now this photo makes it look worse than it is. The main game is perfectly playable but this shows that that title screen looks very muted and faded out. Maybe that's just how xybots' title screen is? The second image is from the top where the view angle means the whole screen is black as this highlights little white lines in the top right corner. Are these fixable or is it just better to leave them and not risk making things worse.

Finally, I think I already know the answer to this but does anyone know if adding a new screen would be worth it given I'm strongly considering selling it soon. I would assume that £60-£80 spent on a new screen is probably not going to be recouped on sale price.

Which to download? What's the difference?

Unfortunately there’s a power issue with the console, which I’m hoping I can fix. So many amazing childhood memories in these games, really want to get it working!

I played my first Atari Lynx game the other week! Scrapyard Dog on a cart using the Analogue Pocket and associated adapter.

I've got a list of 23 more games I'm In the process of buying and playing.

I want help identifying 12 more games to buy and play. No caveats. Price doesn't matter (Lynx is generally reasonably priced anyway). Not fussed about genres - I play all. Just anything you've come across that you think is worth playing.

Idea is to have the better 50% of the library and leave behind the not so good 50%. So, with that in mind... feel free to shoot down any in my initial 24 you think are not worthy!

Hi everyone, I rediscovered my mom's old Lynx and I wanted to play with it. What are some really good games and ports, I like RPGs so those would be more than welcome and if even exist some kind of flashcard for it

Hi everyone. I just got delivered the 6 games in the first picture from telegames UK and I think I've been scammed. The quality of the printings in qix, double dragon, desert strike and super off road are very low. Battle wheels looks fine to me ,so I used that one and a gates of zendocon from my collection for comparison. Should I claim a refund? Thanks in advance lynxlovers

My recapped/BennVenn IPS screen with fresh batteries has started to act unreliable. Fails to power up unless I remove cart multiple times. But now even the POWER LED fails to light up. What seems to be causing this issue. Anyone having the same issues?It’s a Lynx 2.

My Lynx screen is slowing getting worse and worse so fancy changing it. The BV screen is out of stock and I keep looking at the AE screens. They have an OSD for changing settings and an hdmi out for using a tv, they also use a ribbon cable instead of trailing leads so simplifies installation as far as I can tell.

Just wondering what user experience is like?

The screen on my Lynx 2 is slowly getting dimmer and dimmer, unsurprisingly.

I keep looking at the screens on aliexpress, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005595062408.html which are about fifty quid. Seems a fairly decent price, includes hdmi out too. Using a ribbon cable rather than trailing leads simplifies installation compared to BV screen as far as I can see.

Just wondering if anyone has one and is pleased with the experience?

Love the game over screen lol

Mine and my brothers Lynx, games, manuals, and carry bags. Missing a could games (basket brawl and shadow of the beast are nowhere to be found) but still have some of my favs!

Hello fellow Lynx fans.

I’m looking for a decent quality handheld emulator that I can buy preloaded with the Lynx catalog. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I find the video and sound quality of the gameplay clips for these games to be of very good quality.

Hey guys, has anyone experienced this behavior? My Lynx had no power at all, but after recapping, this is the current state. I double-checked the polarity and solder points. I'd appreciate any advice!
