This was in a February issue of a video games magazine. So apparently the publishers aren't even aware of what Atari is doing. I was surprised myself as I read this article, to read that someone was actually using a Lynx. When did it get on the market? How much does it cost? How many games are available? I sure hope an embarassed Atari Advertising Manager gets a hold of this (are they trying to keep Lynx a secret like the A-bomb in WWII).
