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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Atari Lynx turns 30 this year and Atari Gamer is going to be making sure this is a big 3-0 that is remembered! As part of the celebrations and because there's been reader feedback asking for the ability to rate games we're announcing a new feature. You can now rate any game title and give it a score out of 5 for graphics, sound effects, music, controls and replay value.
Want to just rush right into it? Head on over to the Best Lynx Games page and start casting your votes!
This will be a permanent feature of Atari Gamer but the final collated results will not be announced until Lynx's 30th birthday, 1st of September 2019. We'll be collecting all of the votes until roughly a week prior to the birthday and will put together a report announcing what you, the readers, voted for as the best games on the console with a breakdown across genres, official games, home brew games, demos, etc.
If you want a sneak peek at how each game is doing, you can head on over to its information page and see how it's currently rated...
Not all titles can of course be rated for all 5 categories, so you can choose N/A as part of your vote if something doesn't quite fit.
So what are you waiting for? Go get voting for the best Atari Lynx games!
