Grey Matters - Volume 3, 1992
These scans come from the "Grey Matters" magazine Volume 3, 1992, priced at $3.50 US. It was a promotional publication designed to keep Lynx owners informed about new games, tips, and upcoming releases — not a third-party gaming mag, but Atari's own in-house publication for Lynx fans.
Thank you to Erick Perez for providing the original scans.

One of the best things to remember is that you have a limited supply of money which sometimes is the difference between life and death. The best item to buy in the shop is "Slow Energy Loss." This item reduces the rate at which your energy drains. At 4X, your energy drains four times slower than normal. Keep the Slow Energy Loss at four all of the time. Buying 125% for five coins is not worth the value of buying two and a half Slow Energy Losses. If you keep your energy ticking down slowly, you do not need to carry so much energy. Buy only the things you need, not just the things which are nice to have! This will get you through the game and allow you to survive.
