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

The launch title that most resembles a tech demo, and the one that dates worst — buy it for the history.

Epyx's 1989 isometric action game was built to show off the hardware's scaling and rotation, and it does. What it does less well is hold up as something to play for an hour; the pacing belongs firmly to 1989.

It was one of the 17 titles distributed in Japan by Mumin Corporation, and it is on both Evercade and PC now — which means the cartridge is a collecting decision rather than an access one.

Before you buy

Cheap, common, and available in all three shell styles as an early title. Low counterfeit risk; the only premium worth paying is for a genuine flat first-run cart with matching big-box packaging.
