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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
It's Easter time and what better way to celebrate than to play a new Atari Lynx game from Atari Gamer - Eggsavier's Cackleberry Rescue. This is a LCD style game in the theme of the famous Game and Watch type consoles. There is a little bit of colour and music thrown in on the title screen but once you get to the game itself, it's very reminiscent of these old style LCD consoles!
The story is simple - The Easter Bunny is in trouble! The egg factory is malfunctioning and eggs are falling off the conveyors! You're Eggsavier, Easter Bunny's deputy and it's your job to rescue as many falling eggs as you can.
There are three difficulty levels (Game A, B and C) which throw more and more eggs on the conveyor belt at a time. As you rescue/catch eggs, gameplay speeds up to make it more challenging.
If you don't catch one of the falling eggs, it's game over. It's addictive and fun, so give it a go! You can play it online here (using the online Atari Lynx emulator). Alternatively you can download the ROM.
Eggsavier, along with a number of other games will be made available on cartridge in the future. Happy Easter everyone!
