In [[1991]], Atari relaunched the Lynx with a new marketing campaign, new packaging, slightly improved hardware, and a new sleek look. The new system (referred as the "Lynx II") featured rubber hand grips and a clearer backlit color screen with a power save option. It also replaced the monaural headphone jack of the original Lynx with one wired for stereo. The new packaging made the Lynx without accessories, dropping the price to $99. Although sales improved, Nintendo's Game Boy still dominated the handheld market. In May, 1991, [[Sega]] launched its handheld gaming system, the [[Game Gear]], which featured a color screen and third party support. The handheld market quickly went to Nintendo and Sega. Once the [[Super Nintendo]] and [[Genesis]] came out, Atari focused its attention on the [[Atari Jaguar]], dropping almost all support for the '''Atari Lynx'''. | In [[1991]], Atari relaunched the Lynx with a new marketing campaign, new packaging, slightly improved hardware, and a new sleek look.
