I've never heard of this before.

It looks like it was a prototype; I wonder if it was really released when it was ported to Lynx. There are some info here:

Anyway, it can't be better than the original versions.

I remember this. Was just a demo. The full game was never made.

Here`s the video of EOB gameplay of Lynx`s full release, but the quality is terrible. Moreover, I don`t understand what the guy is saiyng, because it`s in german. But the game itself seems to be pretty well done concerning the Lynx`s terribly low resolution:

and here`s the cartridge and box cover on this platform:

On a sidenote, Lynx was an impressive piece of kit, the best of its kind in its time IMHO. Too bad that Atari screwed the things up on the level of management. :(
Finally playing and immensely enjoying the awesome Thimbleweed Park-a-reno!

@Aadamo: That video could be of anything; it's so blurred, it might even be a PC screen! Why do people post crap like that, it's pointless and annoying....!

yes, I already said the quality is terrible, but at least I can watch the gameplay; there`s no better vid on EOB Lynx on YT, or I don`t know of any.

The guy in the gameplay video does sound like he's on drugs... He explains that the game was finished in 1993, but unreleased at the time. One of the prototypes then was supposedly released in 2011 (only 60 copies) by an American Atari fan for other fans. The rest is just an explanation of the gameplay and the controls.

Oh, and I like how someone is playing Super Mario World in the background of the unboxing video!
