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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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 cartridge contains a demo, some games and a BLL binary loader.
Lynx ReloadedThis is the main part of the cartridge. The Lynx Reloaded demo coded for the Error In Line 2003 convention. Started, it first shows a little information screen. Press any button to continue. After that, the demo runs until the end without user interference. you may skip the scroller by pressing a button. Reset is only possible in the end picture.
Othello 1kThe AI use yellow stones, the human player magenta. Use the cross to move the cursor. If the cursor changes its color, you can set your stone at that position by pressing A. If you try to set a stone onto an impossible position, your turn gets lost. The goal of the game is to get as much stones in your color as possible.
MultiPong 1kThere is a single and two player version on the cartridge. In the single, you play against yourself. Control all the paddles with the cross. The goal is to keep the ball inside as long as possible. In the two player version, one player controls the left/right paddles with the cross, the other player the two at top and bottom with the A and B button. If the ball hangs, you can reset it with OPTION 1.
Use of the BLL-loaderThe loader allows to load little programs into the Lynx RAM. Valid file types are ".o" files from the BLL kit and ".com" files from the EPYX devkit. Connect your Lynx with the cable to your computer. Power on the Lynx with Lynx Reloaded plugged in. Choose a speed of 9600 in the menu. Use one of the programs from the BLL-package called "send_obj" or "send_pc". These programs use a serial speed of 9600 baud. On the Atari TT/Falcon programs for higher baudrates exist. Call these programs with the filename as parameter. If everything is connected correctly, the screen starts flashing green. After some while, depending on the file size, the transferred program starts automatically. After the transfer has started, there is no way to return to the menu.
There is also a hidden game hidden on the cart and it is not compatible with emulators or the McWill LCD screen mod.
