Atari Lynx Retro Advert

In true Tech Snake form, I give to you another retro tech advert!

This one is for the grey beast that was the Atari Lynx. A "handheld" console, released at the same time as the Nintendo Gameboy in 1989, Atari thought it to be a winner with full screen backlit colour graphics. However I think what let the system down ultimately was the size, price and availability (of the console and new games).

Looking at the advert, there are two things that really strike me about it – 1, how big are the pockets that kid has in his jacket? And 2, how does he get a power supply in a school toilet??
