Are these real, and if they are fake, how can you tell? I'm obviously a noobie on these things LOL

The software is a 'prototype' but the hardware is not. These seem to come from Best Electronics. They acquired some prototype software and made copies of that which they are still(?) selling.

There is another seller on ebay that sells Lynx games like this, I can't think of his name right now, I bought a copy of AvP for the Lynx from him but he advertises he games more honestly, stating that are copies of the org proto.

So no they are not the org proto. I think the big ole sticker on them gives that away.

The copies I had were sold by another party, B&C Computer Visions. The board's the same, except "B&C Computer Visions" has been printed on in white caps right underneath the ROM chip (on Loopz, Centipede, and Road Riot, for certain, probably Aliens vs Predator as well), though Daemon's Gate had a color image filling up the open bottom of the chip.
