I'm in that same boat. I love Tolero Boxer on the Virtual Boy and if the unit had more than a dozen titles in the US, it could have been something special.


With the Atari Lyne you have a handheld gaming console that did a very competant job of providing game playing fun. I found Road Blasters to be a better playing game, than the PSX emulation of the arcade game. Zarlor Mercenary was a pretty unique shooter and the detail of the ground units was pretty amazing for a handheld. Blue Lightning was Atari's answer to After Burner, but with a little more strategy in survival. Other great titles included Toki, Klax, Todd's adventures in Slimeworld, Switch Blade ( A strider like game) and Chip's Challenge.

Virtual Boy for Mario Tennis alone. Wario was pretty fun too, but i never bothered beating it. now that i think about it, i think i'll do that tonight.

I fix.

I've maybe spent a combined 45 minutes playing all those systems combined.

I'll vote for Lynx..

[Brisco Bold]

One vote for 3DO... yay!

[Sl1p]

I'll go with the 32X for the awesome port of Virtua Racing and Knuckles Chaotix (Which was only fun 2-player =\).

Mmm..Tempest 2000. I would have said Jaguar but the PSX version of it was a little better I felt.

Vitural Boy is automaticly ruled out because it destroys your retinas...Phillips CDi had those "Zelda" games...

3DO had Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and some quasi-porn...but no...

I'd go w/ 32x just because it was always attached to a Genesis. At least then a 32x owner had at least 1 quality system. And no, I'm not just saying that because I own one. (Plus Cosmic Carnage was decent and Doom was good.)

You know I think the reason Lynx stands out is not that it's the only one of these systems with decent games, but all the others were disappointments and died quickly, and Lynx had a long and fruitful life and never disappointed. I liked some of the 32X games but I was pissed at how quick that thing tanked, and how I never got to get a saturn because of that thing.
