Not a quality demo, music is monotonous and there is no design, but it was impressive for me to watch an Atari Lynx demo. What kind of hardware does it have?
svcd/divx-version please!!! :)
first demo i ever saw on this machine!
same as lug00ber
i like it... =)
I liked the lynx.. I agree with lug00ber and nuke.
Isn't needed if you have the emulator and is really easy to use..
I just looked up the Atari Lynx... 16 colors out of 4096, 4 channel 8 bit sound? 6502 variant processor? Built-in 3D? and from like, 1989? Why didn't the Lynx do better against the Gameboy? I mean, I know why the Gamepark32 isn't doing so well, but the GBA is far closer and has more games; but the original gameboy didn't back then, why did the Gameboy win against a superior color and sound machine?
I should rephrase: Back in 1989 or whenever, the Gameboy didn't have the installed-base advantage, yet it won over a machine that was far superior, far more than comparing the GP32 and GBA today (and besides, the GBA now has an enormous game library). How'd it do that?
FYI: There have ALWAYS been machines on the handheld market that were/are superior to the nintendo consoles.
The gb/gbc/gba was never top-notch technically. The answer to your question is a) a lot of gained third-party developers, b) low power consumption (very important when it somes to mobile gaming) and c) marketing.
And once nintendo got the quasi-monopoly, they could defend it easily with backwards compatibility etc. The situation might change in the future though.

very cool :D Demos on new console hardware are always nice to see
Great work Sage! Totally unexpected at EIL. It rocks, please do more :)
Kami: it's not exactly new though :)
Really Cool!
Sage - More!
Crusader:
because Atari was just unable/didn't care much about marketing. Which was in fact Jack Tramiels fault solely. He made the whole company went down the river. Atari Lynx, Atari Jaguar (an absolute superior console at it's time) Atari ST,TT, Atari Falconhad done much better with proper marketing/managment... :( :( :(

Lynx roxxor!
Well, the demo sure roxx, but the Lunx had such a crappy display. The Lynx 2 had also only GameGear like quality, which is still hard to stand. Instead the gameboy screen, you can see it from almost any angle. and the resolution is okay...
yeah finally the platform is added! :)
Tha graphics (especially the Atari logo on the screenshot) rules!
Thumbing lynx prods. I was a big fan. Note it was the first console/computer with hardware graphical acceleration, but with 2D! It has basically hardware "rotozoom" for sprites.
cool stuff
music, hearts tunnel effect, water ripples on picture, 3D object with fire effect, "EIL" 3D logotype rotating, end text scrolling upwards with colorfull font and zooming rotating colors in the background
epic
Wasnt the Lynx Devkit Amiga2000+some extra hardware+software?
I still have the original Lynx :D

Great test file for my Lynx Flashcart!! I've been able to watch most of it. I'll be sure to do a videocap for this once I iron out the bug in my flashcart which crashes on the last part.
found this capture from youtube
:)
cool
superb
Ataaarriiii!!!!!
great demo!!!
defjam, Crusader: the same reason why VHS won with Betamax - the price.

Great demo! Wish I had a Lynx so that I could watch it on real hardware!

Some parts are not displayed correctly on Handy (Lynx emulator) but it works fine with the rest.
