I bought the Atari Lynx game Zaku (http://www.zaku-lynx.com/) for a friend last year as they are into collecting portable consoles. Looking into enhancing the gift for them, I've recently got sucked down the rabbit hole of mods for the system as I may put together a more comprehensive set for them.

Apparently the major mods / enhancements are major ones:

I've always wanted a Lynx mainly for weird Gauntlet game and Todd's Slimeworld.

This looks great. Please bump it in like seven days! I don't want to lose the chance to talk about it with all the stuff going on, my friend.

Haha! I'm cool with Spam. Spam is good once in a while.

What's the update RR? What have you been doing with this thing lately?

Right now I'm looking for an Atari Lynx II for under a $100 - ebay has one with a broken power connector for $40 that is tempting, but is a crap shoot.

May bite the bullet and order one for $150 or so if I can't find one in my price range after too long.
