Kieren goes all YouTube on us

12:39 PM No comments


Atari User's very own Kieren has posted some Atari Lynx music videos on YouTube. Now we don't normally encourage such attempts at individual fame or internet stardom but as Kieren is known to write the odd article for Atari User we thought we'd be nice and post a link on the official Atari User Blog.

You can check out Kieren's videos by checking out his YouTube channel.

1UP shows no love for Atari consoles

7:20 PM No comments

1UP.COM's recent "Top Ten Worst Consoles" puts three Atari offerings in its list of the worst ten consoles of all time. The Atari Jaguar, Atari Lynx and Atari 5200 are all singled out for some hate alongside some more, very obscure, models.

The article makes for some confusing reading. The Lynx heads the list but the article's author states the Lynx "was arguably superior to its competitors" and ends with "There really wasn't much wrong with the Lynx, but it ended up as a footnote anyway.". Interesting stuff, eh?

Want to see what the Atari Lynx missed out on?

11:44 AM No comments

 
The Atari Lynx benefited from a great games library but, sadly, many great games never made it to the Lynx for whatever reason and some are still out there, possibly completed, just waiting for someone to uncover the prototype. Check out Kieren's excellent "Lost Atari Lynx Games" series, appearing from Issue 2 in Atari User, to read all about the games that never made it and what might be out there.

ATARI LYNX EATS BOY'S LUNCH

7:17 PM No comments

 
The Atari Lynx was a cutting edge colour handheld that couldn't be beaten when it came to its sheer power. Sadly it couldn't compete against the much cheaper and inferior Nintendo Game Boy and had another competitor in the guise of Sega's Game Gear.

In some countries the Game Gear failed to knock the Lynx into the number three sales position and in Atari User issues 9 & 10 we've been comparing the two colour handhelds and looking at how the most popular games of the time stack up on each console.
