The Atari Lynx is such an oddity. For one, I didn't know they only managed to release about 70 games for it. But, also, most of them seem, I dunno, poorly planned?
For instance: Dirty Larry: Renegade Cop is a Lynx exclusive. You can only play this on Lynx! You walk left to right and fight a whole 2 enemy types per level. That's it. That's the whole game. Ship it.
Director John Smedley would go on to help create EverQuest, Planetside and H1Z1.
