Atari Lynx VS 3DO.

Post by ATARI800XLfan »

if it was you would you keep a 3DO you barely had any games for besides the 3 it came with or sell it to get a Atari Lynx to replace the one that was stolen from you along with the 20 games that were with it besides the 1 game you happened to not have with it when it was stolen. The reason I ask is that a local store happens to have a brand new Atari Lynx along with a screen protector and a sun visor plus the C battery expansion to it all still in box. I ask because I would need to sell the 3DO to afford the Lynx. What do you guys think, which one is worth collecting more. Also my parents do not know the Lynx was stolen so if I were to get a new one it would have to be done in a way so they do not find out. The reason I ask is that I still like the Atari Lynx but do not want to make a bad decision money wise. Just something about the system that gets my attention. Played it more then the Nomad I own. I do not know.

Kinda sounds like you've already made up your mind to get the Lynx, so go for it.

Sounds like your heart is with the Lynx. I'd trade for it. Sorry for your loss with the other - sucks.

your screen name is ATARI800XL, so it's obvious to pick the Lynx. :wink:

Obvious answer; Lynx. Not because it is better, but because it seems you prefer it.

Does it really matter if your parents know that you are replacing what was stolen? Having stuff stolen happens. There's no shame needed.

Which one is better from a collecting point of view, both from price and games, including uniqueness, exclusives and quality.
