I'm not sure if RJ is developing it or not, but the Lynx is a hand-held game
machine made by Epyx to be marketed by Atari. It is essentially a color
Nintendo Game Boy (LCD, networking, etc.). I think the first game to be out
on it is Epyx's California Games. Epyx has halted any further computer game
development to focus on the Lynx. I understand this was also caused by a lack
of financial resources and that they layed off quite a few.

One interesting note: Although the Lynx is being marketed by Atari, to develop
software for it, you must use an Amiga !
