      Had one of the second-gens for a few months; wisely was able to sell it on once I moved with a bunch of carts.

That thing was in need of a Mr Fusion.

    Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.
