Lynx Reviews

This page is maintained by Kurt Olsen (kurto@cc.usu.edu.)
This page really wouldn't be possible without efforts of a couple of people:

Robert Jung, the maintainer of the Lynx Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list, has reviewed every game available for the Atari Lynx. (He generally gets his reviews out within a day or two of a game's release in the States.) You can reach Rob through Internet e-mail at rjung@netcom.com.

Bastian Schick, programmer of T-Tris, without who's help I'd only have some mediocre screen scans.

I've added cover art and screen shots for the games that I personally own, unfortunately some of the scans aren't so great. Currently I'm working on getting some sounds in. I've marked reviews that include title art, or screen shots with an asterisk, let me know what you think. Titles marked with a '+' (plus sign) include actual images of the title pages.


Rating Values:

               10 - 8   Great! A value at the regular price.
               7 - 5    Good. Buy if you're interested or if it's discounted.
               4 - 2    Poor. For die-hards only.
               1        Ick. Shoot it, please.
