This is a programming competition for anyone wanting to show off their skills at coding for the Atari Lynx. If you think you have what it takes and want your game to be listed in our game database, join, submit and bask in the retro glory of this amazing console!
This year's theme is "Future", but that's future with a twist. Think about how the future would have been imagined back in the 1990s when this console was new. Think of the retro movie posters and the games at the time and imagine them 50 years forward. Flying cars, space exploration, living on the moon, visiting other planets, intelligent robots, blasters and mind control, plus many other wonderful things that were yet to come. We're talking about what the 2040s would look like if you were living in the 90s.
Of course this leaves it very open ended and you're only limited by your imagination!
The winners of this competition are: Xump 2, Timeloop and Asteroids Chasers. The ranking is calculated from the raw score, which is not adjusted based on the number of votes. Each game had very similar numbers of votes so this was deemed fair by the judges (and it was stated previously that the number of votes will not influence final rankings).
Apart from overall scores, the following detail scores have been assigned. These are not used for determining the entries' final placement however.
Well done to all the competitors! You've all done an excellent job!

Timeloop | 2nd Place |
