There are quite a few Lynx games out now. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm almost tempted to blow some money on one... Maybe this summer... > Lynx lost the battle, at least here in Austria.

They're also no longer forcing you to get California Games along with the thing; I'd much rather have Gauntlet III. I wouldn't buy a GameBoy for the same reason I won't buy a Mac. Manufacturer's too obnoxious. I can put up with stupid companies like Atari [ducks :-) ] but deliberately monopolistic companies? No way. mathew -- "These kinds of remarks are wholly inappropriate and are the mark of a bigot." -- Theodore A. Kaldis
