The Atari Lynx is a 16-bit handheld game console that was released by Atari Corporation in September 1989 in North America, and in Europe and Japan in 1990. It was the world's first handheld electronic game with a color LCD. It was also notable for its advanced graphics and ambidextrous layout. The Lynx competed with the Game Boy (released two months earlier), as well as the Game Gear and TurboExpress, both released the following year.
'Handy' is an Atari Lynx Emulator, named after the original name of the Lynx project that was started at Epyx and then finished by Atari.
Currently Handy is available for Windows95/98/NT/2000/XP/Macintosh/Linux/AmigaPPC/Acorn.
