The Atari Lynx is a 8/16-bit handheld game console, released by Atari Corporation in September 1989 in North America, in Europe and Japan in 1990. It was the world's first handheld electronic game with a color LCD, it was notable for its advanced graphics and ambidextrous layout. The Lynx competed with the Game Boy, as well as the Game Gear and TurboExpress, both released the following year, it was discontinued in 1995. The Lynx system was developed by Epyx as the Handy Game. In 1986, two former Amiga designers, R. J. Mical and Dave Needle, had been asked by former manager at Amiga, David Morse, if they could come up with a design for a portable gaming system. Morse now worked at a game software company that had a recent string of hit games. Morse's son had asked him if he could make a portable gaming system, prompting a meeting with Mical and Needle to discuss the idea. Morse convinced Mical and Needle to develop the idea and they were hired by Epyx to be a part of the design team. Planning and design of the console began in 1986 and was completed in 1987.

Epyx first showed the Handy system at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1989. Facing financial difficulties, Epyx sought out partners. Nintendo and other companies declined, but Atari and Epyx agreed that Atari would handle production and marketing, while Epyx would handle software development. Epyx declared bankruptcy by the end of the year, Atari owned the entire project; the Handy was designed to run games from the cartridge format, the game data must be copied from ROM to RAM before it can be used. Thus, less RAM is available and each game's initial loading is slow. There are trace remnants of a cassette tape interface physically capable of being programmed to read a tape. Lynx developers have noted that "there is still reference of the tape and some hardware addresses" and an updated vintage Epyx manual describes the bare existence of what could be utilized for tape support. A 2009 retrospective interview clarifies that although some early reports claimed that games were loaded from tape, Mical says there was no truth in them: "We did think about hard disk a little."Atari changed the internal speaker and removed the thumb-stick on the control pad before releasing it as the Lynx retailing in the US at US$179.95.

Atari showed the Lynx to the press at the Summer 1989 CES as the "Portable Color Entertainment System", changed to "Lynx" when actual consoles were distributed to resellers. The Lynx started off successfully. Atari reported that they had sold 90% of the 50,000 units it shipped in its launch month in the U. S. with a limited launch in New York. US sales in 1990 were 500,000 units according to the Associated Press. In late 1991, it was reported that Atari sales estimates were about 800,000, which Atari claimed was within their expected projections. Lifetime sales by 1995 amounted to fewer than 7 million units. In comparison, the Game Boy sold 16 million units by 1995 because it was more rugged, cost half as much, had much longer battery life, was bundled with Tetris, had a superior software library; as with the actual console units, the game cartridges themselves evolved over the first year of the console's release. The first generation of cartridges were flat, were designed to be stackable for ease of storage.

However, this design proved to be difficult to remove from the console and was replaced by a second design. This style, called "tabbed" or "ridged", used the same basic design as the original cartridges with the addition of two small tabs on the cartridge's underside to aid in removal; the original flat style cartridges could be stacked on top of the newer cartridges, but the newer cartridges could not be stacked on each other, nor were they stored easily. Thus a third style, the "curved lip" style was produced, all official and third-party cartridges during the console's lifespan were released using this style. In May 1991, Sega launched its Game Gear portable gaming handheld. A color handheld, in comparison to the Lynx it had a higher cost and shorter battery life, but it was smaller and was backed up by more games. Retailers such as Game and Toys R Us continued to sell the Lynx well into the mid-1990s on the back of the Atari Jaguar launch, helped by magazines such as Ultimate Future Games who continued to cover the Lynx alongside the new generation of 32-bit and 64-bit consoles.

During 1990, the Lynx had moderate sales. In July 1991, Atari introduced the Lynx II with a new marketing campaign, new packaging improved hardware, better battery life and a new sleeker look; the new system featured rubber hand grips and a clearer backlit color screen with a power save option. It replaced the monaural headphone jack of the original Lynx with one wired for stereo; the new packaging made the Lynx available without any accessories, dropping the price to $99. Although sales improved, Nintendo still dominated the handheld market. In 1993, Atari started shifting its focus away from the Lynx in order to put greater focus on the Jaguar, which competed with the Super NES and Genesis. A few games were released during this time, including Battlezone 2000. Support for the Lynx would not be formally discontinued until 1995. In 1996, after the commercial failure of the Jaguar, Atari terminated all internal game development and agreed to reverse merge with JTS, Inc. thus the Atari brand would leave the video game mark
