Back in the prehistoric days of our world I possessed an Atari Lynx 2. There were several popular hand held computers out at the time and on each there was a genius game of near endless repetition. Nintendo had Tetris on the Gameboy, SEGA Columns for their Gamegear and Atari something called Klax (although 3D Tetris existed on the Lynx too).
If you have played at length all three (and on the console mentioned) do you think one is better than the others. If you do what makes it better?

I had Klax on the Megadrive.. it was ok, Columns was a bit boring I thought, Tetris had to be the best. Multiplayer too.

It came with that game in the box. I did not like it very much.

I did not know that Klax was on the Megadrive. I am not sure if it would have been the same. I thought it was multiplayer on the Lynx but I am not sure. I only ever played Multiplayer once or twice and not on that game I do not think.

fair enough, the game was rubbish, but it was batman!!!
i remember being quite impressed with the lynx, wasn`t it the first one to be in colour?

i`m sure it was pre-game gear....
