Why do so few Lynx games use stereo sound?  (Is this a perennial
question?)  On the LameBoy I always found it added to my enjoyment of
the game.  The only Lynx game that I have that's stereo is Robotron,
and it really makes the sound effects a lot better.

Many games don't really need it. Klax and Xenophobe both use stereo to
advantage.

Xenophobe is stereo, and it's very useful as you can hear which direction the
aliens are approaching from.  An excellent game.  I just wish there were some
other Lynx owners around here I could link up with...

I agree.  I'm pretty much the only Lynx owner I see regularly.  A few show up
at the local Atari user group...but I never get to go due to either Work or
Classes.  Someone should make the internet hookup for a Comlynx cable!

It strikes me that it would be useful if Atari put a small, tasteful "LYNX"
badge (pin) in the box with every Lynx.  Then you could spot other people and
say hi...
