Released September 1989 in North America for $179.99 (Europe and Japan in 1990), Atari Lynx It was the first handheld game console to feature a 160×102-resolution LCD that could simultaneously display 16 of the 4,096 available colors — its main competition with the $90 Nintendo Game Boy.
Among the many forward-looking features in Atari Lynx, it is able to network with up to 17 other handheld devices via its “Comlynx” cable system.
Sega’s Game Gear arrived soon after in 1990/1991 with a 160×144 LCD and 4,096 colors (32 at a time), And Nintendo’s Gameboy Color shipped to Japanese customers in October 1998 as a 160×144 LCD supporting 32,768 colors (56 simultaneous colors), as well as double the processing power and triple the memory in the 1996 Game Boy Pocket.
Neo Geo Pocket Color Shipped in 1999, the 160×152 LCD also supports 4,096 colors, but is capable of displaying 146 on the screen. It’s perhaps worth noting that Palmtex provided the Super Micro in 1983 with a 16×32 monochrome LCD and overlay to display color, although the screen itself couldn’t produce color.
