Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

Street basketball with punching, two-player ComLynx co-op, and an unlikely spot on Atari 50.

Hamilton and Associates developed it and Atari published it in 1992 — full-contact basketball where fighting is a legitimate strategy, playable co-operatively over ComLynx.

It is one of only six Lynx titles on Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration and it is also on Evercade Collection 1, which is unusual visibility for a game of its stature. Like Scrapyard Dog, the pattern suggests clean Atari ownership rather than critical merit.
