I knew that already (heck, there ain't a piece of non-proprietary Lynx
information I _don't_ know). However, there doesn't exist a 144-player
Lynx game yet, so I don't want to count it so high so far.
(My sources say the ComLynx LAN has no upper limit -- the only limitations
are in the software. The upcoming CHCEKERED FLAG auto racing game is supposed
to support 1-6 players, which breaks the powers-of-two trend currently
existing)

$300 now. NEC announced a price hike a few weeks back. When the TE's return
(any day now?), it will cost more. Don't matter to me, I don't like the
TurboGraphix-16 games anyway.
