I must have purged both the Jaguar and CD-i from my mind... you are absolutely correct that they stunk much worse than anything else mentioned in this forum. I'd rather go back and play my old Odysee II than have to deal with those two.
I think JJ summed up the display issue with the Game Gear. The Lynx's display was far superior to anything else in the day. It stayed crystal clear no matter how much motion was going on at the time. I would have to put it on par with the GBA display as it was still worlds better than the GBC which came out years after the Lynx had failed.
How much of this discussion is about the system sucking or the lack of good games for the system? I absolutely loved my Neo Geo Pocket and the four or five games that were good on that system. The little joystick is still my favourite controller for a handheld game. Likewise, the only real weakness to the Lynx was it's lack of games as well.
On the flip side there is the classic GB which had a blurry screen, ate batteries, and a weak processor. However, it had one of the biggest libraries at the time and was a bit cheaper than the competing handhelds. I never really liked the GameBoys until they upgraded the screens, made them a bit smaller, and increased battery life.

Zagatto - You seem to have forgotten about such video game systems as: Atari Jaguar and it's Jaguar CD attachment and the Phillips CD-i.
Lastly, the Game Gear had a much better display than GameBoy, (IMO LynX) and the game boy Advance and Color were non backlit versions of the Game Gear display (with slightly more colors). I can't see how anyone would prefer a Gameboy display over a Game Gear backlit display.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
