Unlike most of our systems The Lynx has a 16 color Bitmap screen - effectively we can just write data to it - one nibble per color to ram, and it will appear on screen!

We do need to do a bit of setup first to get it working!

After I've run the example on PC-Engine I thought that I could check the Lynx version as well.

Here's the result.

It's almost working

I've stumbled on such things many times - Handy isn't reflecting real hardware very well.

Hmm, the sprite is there, but the font isn't ?
I'll have a look at the code... if you figure anything out, let me know and I'll change the code accordingly.
