Howdy. I'm not interested in instigating a flame war here. I am interested in a rational comparison between the Atari Lynx, Sega Game Gear, and NEC handheld units. I couldn't find any special interest groups for the GameGear or the NEC (or for that matter, the GameBoy), so I'm posting here. I'm interested in comparisons of any and all facets of operation. For example, while the GameBoy is probably the most limited (hardware wise) of all the systems, it has the widest library. Or: The Lynx may have roughly the same resolution as the gameboy, but the graphics engine behind it can do such and such that none of the others are capable of. Or: The Game Gear can use the old Sega Master system cartridges (but how well do they play on it?). Any input at all on any of these systems would be appreciated, although I hope that proponents of one particular system will not feel the need to trash the others in the process. What are the exact capabilities of each (I'd like to find out just a little more than what kind of CPU it has and what the resolution and number of colors displayed is. Can a given graphics engine do color cycling? Multiple playfields? Multiple level hardware scrolling? How fast is the refresh rate on the LCD's used (ie. Does the Lynx have a faster LCD refresh (less blurring for high speed motion) due to the lower resolution?)) And so forth and so on. Thanks in advance for your replies. Alex
