Howdy.  Sorry if this is a FAQ, but can anyone tell me the differences between
the Atari Lynx and Game Gear?  

I've been considering getting one or the other, but I don't really know what
the capabilities of either system are.  What are the resolutions, CPU speed,
what kind of graphics hardware, etc.

I heard that the Lynx seems to have more classics than other game systems.  Any
truth to this?  I've always been a big Williams fan (especially Stargate), and
there are an awful lot of classics I've been missing from the Good Old Days.

I did see the NEC TurboGraphics 16 handheld (which apparently is a complete
TurboGraphics 16 with Active Matrix display in a Gameboy sized case), but
neither the cartridges (at about 50 bucks a pop) nor the machine ($200) are at
all reasonably priced.  

One strong influencing factor is the fact that the Lynx is from an American
company.  (I've seen all to much of how Nintendo was successfully able to
blatently (and illegally, see ITC hearings) manipulate Toys R Us and the market
in general to ever consider a GameBoy, and never mind the inferior hardware.)
