Atari produced official Atari Lynx lapel pins for a number of games. These were never officially released in US but did come inside game boxes for a number of French releases. The pins were mostly for released games except for Vindicators, which never saw a release.
Atari France ran a promotion in 1991 that included betting these pins in versus games on the Atari Lynx against your friends. Read more about that promotion here. A limited number of Lapel Pin Coffret / Display Cases were also produced during this period.
There were 34 game lapel pins in total.

Official Australian Atari Lynx Club | Steel Talons The Steel Talons pin was not a Lynx pin, it was based on the original arcade game. There was no Lynx logo anywhere in the pin, only a mention to Atari Corporation, which was the branch of Atari in charge of arcade cabinets at that time. Thanks to Juan for this bit of history. |
