Atari Lynx

[Menegrothx]

I am thinking about buying myself a Lynx model II, and since it isnt region free (correct me if Im wrong), I would like to know which is more cheap, importing one from USA or buying an European console? If there are only few games worth owning, I wont bother with importing. But if there are some good US exclusives and there are a lot games that are worth owning which are much more cheap in USA, I will go for a US version.

Since my knowledge of the Lynx game library is pretty nonexistant, can you recommend me any good list of Lynx games ? I checked videogamecritic.net but he didnt have that many Lynx reviews. Im mostly intrested in side scrollers/platformers and games that show what the machine is capable of, but must own/hidden gem titles of any genre will do really. Sports and racing titles are the only ones that I have no intrest in, unless there is some cool gimmick involved.

Cali Games, Ninja Gaiden and Rampage are on the top of my Lynx stack because I play them the most.

Other games that I have in my collection that would not sell: Blue Lightning, Chips Challenge, Joust, Rygar, S.T.U.N. Runner, Todd's Adv. in Slime World, Toki and Xybots. I'm not saying these are must haves, but I enjoyed over the years.

The best games are the arcade ports. They give a very similar feel and are relatively short.
