hmmm... ok that's what I thought. I just thought that the Eye of the Beholder cart appeared to have chips attached to the back that were too low down to allow it to insert correctly... would love to see it one day. was it any good?

Its an RPG an Laird gave it a 9 so it must be F'N amazing! Lol
Maybe it got bonus points for being on the Lynx.  ;)

The extra chip is an eeprom so you can save your game. This was the original reason Atari didn't release it - because of the cost of adding battery back up to the game. Yes they really were that stingy!

I have it and I can assure you that it works just fine on a Lynx II.  The Lynx I may be another issue because of the door.
