Yeah... we can see how much it pwned the GB.. as the gameboy series was alive and well untill recenetly and its sucsessor is the top selling system, and I have only vuagly heard of the lynx.. more like a mythical beast that once existed.  Very sucsessful indeed <_< not.

It doesnt matter how much more advanced a system is, hardware does not mean pwnage. I mean, look at the PS3.

Anyhow, back on topic... Im suffering a bit of an art block for random doodly stuff at the moment.  Tho some insperation as been sparked at my new project in the restricted areas, maybe it will get me out of my art funk.

Captain-sama makes an excellent, if terrible, point. Human history is littered with tales of better technology being discarded because of superior marketing or economy. Beta tapes, Lynx, Amiga, PS3...
From a practical standpoint, Captain-sama is absolutely right.
That does not mean we need to like it, though, ne? ^.^

I am sorry to hear of your art funk, Captain-sama. I hope it clears up soon!

Without turning this into a discussion of console loyalties, it seems Nintendo has always known how to make more of less.  Generally speaking, whenever Nintendo has opted to make a seemingly less powerful device, they've done extraordinarily well.  Of course in the handheld market, it also helps that they made their devices actually portable ("handheld" is hardly an accurate description of the Lynx or Game Gear, unless of course, you're Yao Ming).  Before anyone gets the idea I'm simply bashing here, truth be told, as a kid I always wanted the Sega Game Gear (or a GameBoy, but I really wanted to play Sonic) but never got one, so perhaps I'm just a bit bitter because of that .

On topic, we needs more doodly people.

yeah, you had good art....
but indeed maybe the new manga will spark some inspiration...

*dresses like a cheeleader and cheers captain on*

Oh, and Ian... (OT, i knooooow) a 19" wide, 2-3"thick, 15 pound laptop was also considered portable, so the lynx wasn't that bad, my friend has one with a nice carrying bag wich also holds about 20 games...

Big Lynx is XBOX.

In soviet russia, its your hands that dont fit on the handheld!

It just makes me chuckle when people complain about the PSP - kids don't know how good they have it.

"Well, when I was your age, a handheld with a color screen cost over $200, and it really wasn't a handheld, you had to position your hands like you were using a keyboard.  Also, you had to get six AAs for it, and you'd go through those in a day.  This was before those newfangled rechargables you gots now, it wasn't cheap!"

[CaptBrenden]

you just got old points...

[IanDanKilmaster]

Har... well I'm not MisterCat...

[Smokey]

Heh, good art on the Lynx, i gotta show that to my mate, he'll appreciate that... ;010

And the PSP shows how far we've come, i have respect for that thing too, although i rarely use it... ^_^

[VonDaab]

Just more handheld doodlan...

[Smokey]

isn't that an old Nintendo Game and Watch?

Respect for the nostalgia...;010

[VonDaab]

Yep that it is. Donkey Kong is the only G&W that I own that has survived these decades without any big damage. I got Parachute and DK jr. that work, but Parachute's screen isnt really allright and DK Jr.'s buttons are worn out.
Donkey Kong was probably my first videogame ever, remember playing it when I was 5 or something...

[Smokey]

Heh, awesome...

I once saw a couple of 'em in a gameshop somewhere...
Good old times....
