      It'd prolly be pretty light if you threw some lithium batteries in it I think; I know my camera is way lighter if I jam some expenive lithiums in it.

    what unforgettable memories !! I wanted this console for a long time, a friend of mine had the first gameboy with green screen and I envied it so much because my father didn't want to buy it, I must have been 10 years more or less. He decided and to envy her that many times she didn't want me to play with her gameboy, my father bought me the gamegear that had a color screen and at the beginning of the 90s it was a revolution !! when I play with the my anbernic rg280v, magnificent console, I am reminded of those fantastic years where the world is much simpler and more beautiful than today! memories that no one will ever steal from us !! I am 40 years old and I am happy to have lived my childhood in those wonderful years!

    The “auto adaptor” was basically a power bank. So you charged it and you could play on the move. Had longer game time than using 8 x AA Batteries. Had a clip on it to fix it to your belt

    I got my first handheld in 1990. My cousin had gotten a Game Boy in 1989 for Christmas and I ended up playing it more than he did so of course, in 1990, I wanted one for myself. However, a month before Christmas, my parents and I had gone to the mall and I went to KB Toys to look at Game Boy games and NES games to see what games I wanted for Christmas. On the shelf was the Game Boy with a bunch of games, and next to that, I saw the Atari Lynx. I was blown away by it. The color screen, the size of it and I wanted it. I told my parents thats what I wanted and my parents asked if I was sure because it did cost more and if I got that, it would be all I got due to it costing 2x more than a Game Boy. My dad was more willing to get the Lynx due to him being more familiar with the Atari brand than he was with Nintendo (Granted, I did have an NES) but he just wanted me to be sure about it because I had been playing my cousins Game Boy for almost a year and the Lynx was something I had just discovered. But I knew that's what I wanted. So, on Christmas Day, I got my Atari Lynx with California Games. My parents forgot to tell my grandmother that I changed my mind on the Game Boy and she ended up buying me 2 Game Boy games. I returned those and got Chips Challenge and Blue Lightening. When school started back after Christmas break, I saw a bunch of kids with Game Boys. I remember kind of wanting one still so I could play games with my friends and classmates but at the same time, it was so fun being the "envy" among my friends with the Atari Lynx. People gathered around to watch me play. I think I had it for about 5 months before it got stolen

    The Japanese are so smart and creative. It's amazing that a handheld gaming device was invented in 1990 with a miniature CRT screen like this. But unfortunately today the Japanese have been outcompeted by China & Korea with more creativity.

    I was 9 when my dad bought it and I only had it for a week before it was stolen. 😔
