I can almost guarantee you that nobody else in the world has this color variant of the NGPC. Simply because it’s so nasty; it’s probably the only true piss-colored game machine anywhere.

This is Atari’s second version of their Lynx handheld, which I purchased new in around 1999 or 2000. I don’t actually know what the deal is with this Lynx - I’ve seen some with black boxes, some with white boxes (like mine), and I think the white box models were probably either the last ones [...]

I had my wife pick this up for me during a hospital stay when I was laid-up for 11 days (don’t even ask). I do plan to pick up a Sony PSP eventually too, but Nintendo’s never steered me wrong in handheld gaming.
