Lexis

This is similar to the game Tetris but instead of falling blocks, you have to make words out of falling letters.

Some words will give you cheats or unlock a bonus game.

Atari's Lynx (1989) was the first handheld console with a color backlit screen, technically ahead of the Game Boy in several respects, but it launched at a higher price with worse battery life and lost the handheld war commercially. Lower overall sales mean smaller print runs across its library, making complete Lynx games a moderately scarce niche within retro handheld collecting.

Gamevaro tracks Lexis for Atari Lynx with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Lexis to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This LYNX release dates back to 1999.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Lexis, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari Lynx titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
