Then again the GBA version of Wings was terrible too. I guess it just isn't meant for such a small screen.

Id' also recommend rechargable battery pack. I picked up a 2nd hand Lynx a while back which came with one of these and it makes the thing far more "portable" - despite the fact it sticks out of the back a fair way and doubles the weight of the console! Good "choice" on the Lynx 2, looks way better than the "pre-facelift" model! You’ve got to get Chips Challenge, one of my fave puzzle games of all time!

Now, you absolutely have to grab a copy (preferably two for multiplayer) of Warbirds and then -of course- Chip's Challenge. Mind you, Electrocop can be quite impressive too.
