i am so fucking in love with chip’s challenge for atari lynx. eric dug out his gen 1 lynx (eric’s is in much better shape than the one depicted…here is his cool carrying case also) and i played chip’s challenge for hours on end last night, got so exhausted and thumb-sore after the marathon session that i passed out and didn’t even bother to take a shower this morning or go home for a change of clothes. the lynx has a brightly colored screen and a backlight that totally makes my game boy advance look like a piece of crap. plus you can push two buttons and flip the whole thing over so the buttons are reversed – perfect for thumb fatigue!

…according to the colossal death robot test! it says:

“Vast, red and ready to turn into a lorry at the slightest provocation, you are a robot to be reckoned with. Although sickeningly noble, you just can’t resist a good interplanetary war, especially when Orson Welles is involved. You have friends who can shoot tapes from their chests. Tapes that turn into panthers. And other friends who are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs who jump out of planes. Will you have my children?”
