Should I buy the Lynx or the 3DO
I found an amazing price for each of them and it's tearing me up inside trying to choose. Please help.

I have both. The Lynx was my first portable system, and the 3D0 was my first console. I recommend the Lynx. It has a lot of great games, most of which are available cheap. I especially recommend the following games:
Chip's Challenge Todd's Adventures in Slime World Zarlor Mercenary Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Shadow of the Beast Electrocop |
Atari Lynx? Get that thing, it's sweet... Esp. if you get california games, chips challenge etc..
Then again I sold mine from lack of use, it's still sweet... |
What's amazing? Both.

The Lynx is a great system. I'm still bitter that it didn't beat out the gameboy back in the day.
I had 2 back then, and my friends and I loved the 2 player Warbirds, Checkered Flag, Slime world, and California Games. I just bought 2 more on ebay and now need to find a couple more comlynx cables for some 4 player action! |
I imagine that the deal you found is $20 or less each, so I would get both.
But 3 things in the Lynx' favor: 1 - portability of course 2 - they are cheap, so getting a 2nd for linking up is easy 3 - the games are super cheap on ebay, like $15 for a dozen different games |
S.T.U.N. Runner on Lynx. That's all I got to say! :D
|
That's like asking the question: Would you rather get hit in the nuts with a ball-peen hammer or a rubber mallet?
But seriously, I would recommend the 3DO. It had this trippy cd player that you could control the psychedelic effects with the controller. |
Lynx. 3d0 had some craptacular games
|
You wouldn't be referring to Way of the Warrior are you : P
3D0 was an alright system. I do love the Lynx though. |
I would go with the Lynx, but that is because i'm jealous and would love to snag one cheap myself. It's all about California Games and Xenophobia!

I had so much fun with the old school consoles that most systems now like xbox and playstation 2 don't have the same charm of either of these systems. I guess I'm stuck in the past have my head in the clouds.

I have both lynx systems in pristine condition (both the original one and the revised smaller one) with a carrying case and almost all the games available for (I have ~24 I think; Stun Runner included of course). What could I get for all that?
8 player slime world was so much fun back in junior high. That and California games 4 player BMX action. |
Lynx prices vary wildly on ebay. Systems can go as cheap as $15 or over $100 depending on the games. A few of the games are quite rare apparently.

I have both systems and would personally recommend the 3DO. The 3DO had a lot of cool games like Bust a Move, Return Fire, Star Control 2 and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo just to name a few. But the decision comes down to whether you want a portable gaming system or an actual console.
