UK Atari Lynx carts on US Atari Lynx system?

Post by Zweihander »

Do they work? I just got an Atari Lynx, and am going to get Gates of Zendocon on Ebay. It'd be coming from the UK (I'm from the US) and the cartridge's top looks slightly different than the top of my Zarlor cart (got Zarlor, US version apparently, with the system). So, my main question is, do UK game carts fit in a US Lynx? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I just wanna make sure.... ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the Lynx has no regional lockout. There are three different cartridge types (straight top, ridge top, and curled top), and all three work in all Lynx systems. My copy of Gates of Zendocon has a curled top, but earlier copies had the ridged top, IIRC.
