We are moving all Atari Lynx related content over to Atari Lynx Vault and all our shop content over to K-Retro Gaming. Please update your bookmarks!
As a result of this change, the following will no longer be available: Online Lynx Emulator, Collection Tracker, Game Ratings, News. If you are interested in contributing content to Atari Lynx Vault, we are seeking editors and maintainers.
Why is this happening? First - the Atari Gamer branding is changing to K-Retro Gaming to allow us to expand to providing games, replacement parts, and mod services to other game consoles. And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a new and modern content management system and chose a website domain that better suits the subject matter. Since we are operating this website in our spare time, on top of full time family and job committments, some features had to be dropped.
This is an assembly guide for our 2D Pixelated Lynx Model kit that you purchase from our shop.
The kit comes with two 'sheets' of parts. There is a white and red sheet. As typical of all plastic model kits, the parts on each sheet are flat and need to be cut away from the sheet first.
Use side cutters to cut away each of the parts. They are attached to each sheet using thin strips of plastic.
Pick whichever side of the white console base unit you want to be the front, then slide the red centre screen section into the grooves. You may need to apply some pressure or trim the tongues on the red part to fit properly.
Follow the same process for the two red side parts.
Align the slots on the bottom of the white base unit and the two stands, slide them into one-another. The Lynx kit will now be able to stand on its own.
