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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.

The most astounding adventure of the day

[Attack]
On main menu of the game, you can select classic or special mode.
In classic mode, A button will switch 2 pieces. Once 4 identical pieces or more will be in contact, they will disappear. You lose if game reach the top of the screen.

In Special mode, A buyton will switch 2 towers, B button will make the medium.
Once 3 identical towers or more will be in contact, they will disappear. You lose if game reach the top of the screen.

In both modes, Option 1 is used to put the incoming line into game.
the incoming line is displayed at the bottom of the grid.

[Buildings]
The goal is to place the buidings on the grid.
On each line/column, there can only be one building of each size.
The numbers outside the board indicate the number of building someone would see if he were sitting here and looking in this direction.
There is a level generator, each is different from the other. The difficulty will change the size of the grid.

Inspired by problem previously published in "Tangentes, Jeux & StratÈgies" magazine

[Push]
You push the tower into the grid. If the sum is less than 6, the last 2 towers will sum up. If the sum is equal to 6, you will get 5 points, if it is bigger, the last tower will fall, and the score will decrease by 10 points. If you manage to create a line or column of 4 identical towers, you will get 10 points.
Your goal is to keep the score positive as long as possible, depending on the start level, the initial score will be more or less higher, there is a number of tower played, which is the real score.

[TetrisNoid]
During an unwanted experiment, the ball dedicated to a breakout clone has been dropped into a Tetris clone. TetrisNoid plays like a classic Tetris, but the ball will annoy or help you, destoying existing bricks.

Two mythics classics in one.

[Tipover]
You play the grey ball and can only move from building to building, the building will fall if you give a direction only if there is enough space. Your goal is to reach the target building. You can choose the starting level. You cannot overpass a level but can choose to replay it via option menu.

Inspired by eponym game, published by Think Fun

[Tipover Editor]
You can access Tipover Editor via pressing B button on main menu instead of A behind the Tipover option.
Tipover Editor will alow you to create you own TipOver levels and play them.
Once the level is created, you can playtest it via Pause button (options are : delete a level, test it, display codes). During the game, it is possible to restart the level or go back to level editor. Once the level is finished, the game will send you back to the main menu of Tipover Editor, if you go to editor, the level is not deleted. It is not possible to save a level.
