It was also the first to have a backlit display, which allows it to be played in a dark room. The system failed due to low sales. It did not sell as well as [[Nintendo]]'s [[Game Boy]] and [[Sega]]'s [[Game Gear]]. The Atari Lynx had a new design model called the Atari Lynx 2 which was a smaller version of the Atari Lynx. {{video-game-stub}} [[Category:Handheld game consoles]] [[Category:Atari hardware]]
