I just realized the kid in the Atari Lynx commercial who asked for a bathroom break so he could play his Atari Lynx was Tobey Maguire! I was watching a history of that system and they played the commercial partway through..

The other video games related thing I realized he was in, in recent times was "The Wizard" starring Fred Savage and he was a background character who was buddies with the rival video game champ who said that the Power Glove was so bad!

BTW.. speaking on pocket sizes and the Atari Lynx well.. Jnco jeans back in the 90's had huge pockets that would be ideal for a large handheld although putting them in your pocket wasn't a good idea because for one thing the screen lenses tended to get scratched that way.. 😝

Definitely better than World Class Soccer - at least here you are provided with a full competition experience, rather than just single games - but it still falls short of being a standout soccer title, especially on a handheld system. The gameplay feels limited, with short and high passes often proving ineffective for building attacks, relegating them mainly to clearing the ball. On Hard, there's a dominant goal-scoring method that, once mastered (it takes half a dozen matches, at worst) makes the game relatively easy, taking away some of the challenge. Overall, while European Soccer Challenge adds depth compared to its only Lynx rival, it ultimately struggles to deliver a truly engaging soccer experience on the Atari handheld.
