Well i just picked up a copy of Videogames & Computer Entertainment, and
was flicking through it quite happily, when i noticed the back cover!

Wow an Atari advert, for the Lynx!!!! (well i was surprised)

The add is entitled 'Why Lynx?'

Then shows 4 game boxes (Hockey, NFL Football, Baseball and Soccer).

then says 'Great Sports, Atari Lynx. The most fun you can hold in your
hands'

Well i'm not sure about the great sports statement, but it is great to
see a nice big ad, prominently placed!

Marc

	EGM has a two page spread, showing Pit Fighter as available,
too.  Same theme in the ad, though.

	Hope springs eternal.

Seen this same ad in the latest issue of DC's Green Arrow comic book.
Maybe they're starting to get the picture.

Also, in the latest issue of Marvel Comics Presents Wolverine teams up
with an all-new heroine named - The Lynx :)   [Ok, it's got nothing to do
with Atari's Lynx but it's better then nothing]

WOW

Perhaps Atari has sat on a bomb or something,

This morning as I opened by Kellogs Start I noticed a 
piccie of the Lynx on the back.

Kellogs are doing a comp to win 1001 lynxes, and every entry
gets a Lynx pin badge!

Atari?  Advertise?  OK.  You're on drugs, right?  You don't really think
ATARI planned any advertising campaign, do you?

It's a fluke.  Some underling at Atari HQ is gonna get fired for this...
Letting an advert actually make it out of corporate headquarters.
Simply unheard of!
