Boy Genius Report has a weekly feature called Throwback Thursday and this week’s was just too good to pass up — the Atari Lynx. For the time, it was pretty advanced, but unfortunately for Atari, it was released the same year as the GameBoy. Even though it had a color screen, it went away.
As the world’s first portable gaming device to boast a color display, the Lynx packed a host of other innovative features — including the ability to be held with the D-pad on the left or right for ambidextrous gameplay.
