You are probably refering to the Turbo Xpress. Portable version of the TurboGrafx 16. The chainsaw game is more than likely Splatterhouse.

I worked in Electronics Boutique during the heyday of those portables and I played them all, but never owned one.

Lynx couldn't get the support it needed, it was a good machine except for it's size.
GameGear, IMHO, had the most fun games available but was a little large for a portable (Lynx had the same problem)
Turbo Xpress used the games from the full sized machine so had a problem of having the graphics too small to see some times, not too mention it could suck the life out of a set of batteries FAST!
