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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
You have found the secret scroll of the time lords, but the torches you left along the way are going out.
Gameplay
- You can briefly see everything at the start of a level before the torch goes out.
- Find your way out through the darkness.
- Collect the key and find the door.
- Avoid enemies (snakes, mummies, spikes, spiders and dancing Egyptians).
- Eye of Ra activates your third eye, and for a brief moment you can see the chamber again.
