The Camputers Lynx was a home computer released in 1983 by the British company Camputers. It was a popular computer in the UK, and it was known for its advanced graphics capabilities and its compact, portable design.

The Lynx was one of the first computers to feature a color LCD screen, which made it ideal for playing games. The Lynx was also notable for its high-quality sound and its ability to connect to other computers and peripherals, including printers and disk drives.

Some of the most popular games for the Lynx included "Elite," "Pac-Man," and "Repton."  Despite its early success, the Camputers Lynx was eventually discontinued due to increased competition from other home computers, such as the Commodore 64 and the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
