637.0. "Game Boy vs Lynx (revisited)" by PRIMES::FINKELSTEIN (Dept. of Redundancy Dept.) Thu May 09 1991 12:24

    Any more thoughts on the comparison of the Lynx vs the Game Boy? Now
    that the price of the Lynx has dropped to be equal to the Game Boy and
    more games are appearing for it, it would seem to be a better buy.
    
    I have the Game Boy but my poor old tired eyes just can't take it
    anymore. Ends up giving me a headache. If anyone else has problems like
    this I would highly recommend trying out the Lynx.

    If what you say is true, then the h__l with NES Gameboy.
    
    Gameboy to me anyway is over priced gadget like those
    nickel and dime (well maybe more than that) little
    hand-held one-game-only gizmos for stocking stuffers
    at Xmas. I have played Gameboy and am to say the least
    disappointed.
    
    On the other hand.......... LYNX is a giant step up.
    But I did lke the $199 plus price tag. LYNX graphics
    alone is worth the price difference. I mean, if someone
    holding a gun to your head saying "buy one". No matter
    what the cost I would have gone for the LYNX.
    
    I suppose though that even at $90, both are still over priced.

    Can't speak for the rest of the US, but out here in Zoo (er, ah) New
    Jersey, the price has dropped to the $90-$110 range.
