This is a site about war. The war between the message boards. It all started when Sony came out with its PSP, a gaming device that also plays music, movies, and displays photos. Nintendo was always ahead of the game. It all started when Nintendo came out with the Gameboy. Competiton was fierce, but all failed. Some of the competitors of Nintendo were:

- The lynx

- Sega Gamegear

etc.

Let me first start out with Nintendo. Nintendo's Gameboy was released in the spring of 1989, from the works of Gunpei Yokoi.Gunpei wanted to combine Nintendo´s 2 biggest successes ever the NES and the Game and Watch games into one console and there you´ve got it the Game Boy!

1992 (3 years later).
    Nintendo has sold 32 million Game Boys, 4 million more than Hiroshi had estimated. The future looks bright for Nintendo and their Game Boy!

All competiton had failed agianst the gameboy. Early on, a system named Lynx came out."Atari almost never advertised the Lynx after 1991, leaving Toys R Us, Kay-Bee, and Sears sweating once again. However this time the stores had had enough with Atari. One by one, starting with Toys R Us in 1994, toy stores, electronics stores, and other retailers began clearing away the Lynx and its state-of-the-art games to clear out shelf space for Turbo Grafx-16 and the ever-growing Super Nintendo. Atari aficionado held hope that the Lynx still had life in it, going on rumors of Lynx/Jaguar Compatibility. One of the early design credentials for the 16-Bit Atari Panther, was to be that it could play Atari Lynx games on the television set. Once the Panther grew into the Jaguar, Atari was still considering a cartridge adapter which would allow for Lynx games to be played through the Jaguar, as well as a special com-lynx cable which would allow the Jaguar to utilize the Lynx as a high-end game controller. However none of these hopes ever materialized, yet again due to the dismal corporate policies of the Tramiel family.

In 1995, we saw the end of the retail shelf life of the Atari Lynx, sadly during the holiday season. The Lynx held its own against fierce competition, and to this day stands alongside the NEC TurboExpress as the "Greatest Classic Color Portable Game System of all time." Today, the Atari Lynx still has a very strong following of dedicated Lynx gamers, the most famous of who is ex-Atari programmer Harry Dodgson who has created such new games for the Lynx as Othello. Atari 7800.com is dedicated to the survival and legacy of the Atari Lynx, as we continue to offer sales and support for the greatest hand held system of all time."
