Page "Atari Lynx" Paragraph 6

The Lynx system was originally developed by Epyx as the Handy Game.

Planning and design of the console began in 1986 and completed in 1987.

Epyx first showed the Handy system at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show ( CES ) in January 1989.

Facing financial difficulties, Epyx sought out partners.

Atari Corp. and Epyx eventually agreed that Atari Corp. would handle production and marketing, while Epyx would handle software development.
