    Has anybody heard of the new handheld by NEC?? Ive heard it is better
    than the Lynx? I sure hope it isnt because I don't want to have to buy
    another handheld game machine... :(

903.1Read the STreport!UKCSSE::KEANETue Jun 19 1990 07:0911
    
    hi,
    
    there was a report comparing the nec with the lynx in the STREPORT a
    couple of weeks ago. The author was very impressed with the nec and
    very biased against the Lynx. So I dont know how much credance to put
    on it.
    
    cheers

    I bought the LYNX some months ago because I couldn't  wait for the NEC
    portable and now I believe that I did the right thing. The LYNX has
    one advantage over NECs machine which may prove to be important,
    where as the PC Engine portable was designed as a normal games console
    and then modified so that it could all fit in a small box with a
    miniature TV screen, the LYNX was designed as a portable and so are
    the games. The far greater graphics resolution of the PC Engine is not
    needed on such a small screen and this amounts to wasted memory and
    also requires more processing power to animate the higher resolution
    graphics. In my opinion as a portable the LYNX is capable of far
    better things than NECs little wonder.
