    Hey all,

    Any Atari Lynx experts on here and can shed some light on these? Are these real prototypes or reproductions? Thanks for any help.

    they're reproductions,some companies just choose to ship just the bare PCBs since the shells are tricky to reproduce

    Thanks bud, you just saved me some cash. I thought they looked much cleaner than others I have seen, plus no Atari logo.

    It's impressive that a handheld like Lynx has enough support to get it's own homebrews and reproductions.

    Atari Jaguar has about the same in terms of homebrews too

    alien vs. Predator is definitely a real cart! It was sold for the Atari LYNX.If its a prototype?i don't think it was a prototype,i thought it was just a licensed game by Atari.

    Frustrating that despite having homebrews and reproductions, there's no decent flashcart for it!

    I have to say that ive come across a bunch of flash carts for a bunch of other systems like sms,genesis,snes,nes,atari"AtariMax!Colecovision but yes its a mystery to me as to why no flashcart has come for it.now by flashcart you mean a cart that burns roms onto it right?or am I getting that confused with a sd card?

    Ideally an SD card adapter, yeah. Same for the Jaguar. I know they had limited dissemination as consoles but the Neo Geo Pocket has one so why not these!
