Atari Lynx 2 Portable Handheld Video Game System Overview

In 1989, Atari released a second version of the Lynx with a number of improvements including an extra hour of battery life, a sharper LCD screen, a button to switch off the backlight (to save on battery power when games are paused), a Power LED (it blinked when the battery was low) and rubber grips on the back, all encased in a smaller more rectangle-looking black casing. The Lynx II was backward-compatible with all Lynx games and was later advertised as being able to communicate directly with the upcoming 64-bit Jaguar.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TECHNICAL SPECS:CPU: Dual 16-bit custom CMOS-Mikey and Suzy (16MHZ/custom CPU on its own is 8-bit)RAM: 64KB DRAMColors: 4096 (16 simultaneous per scan line)Resolution: 160x102 pixelsScreen: LCD 82.55mm x 47.75mm (88.9mm/3.5" diagonal)Sound: 8-bit 4 channel (mono for Lynx, stereo for Lynx II)Game Media: 2MB (16Mbit) cartridgePower: 4 hours for Lynx/5 hours for Lynx II (6 AA batteries)
