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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Here's another instalment of the Captain Harlynx game development progress. This one shows off a new level, which seems to be set around a black hole. We've already seen the impressive 3D effects in other videos so that's not new but what is new is an enhanced colour palette. The Atari Lynx supports 4096 different colours but technically can only show 16 at a time. However, with some hacks and tweaks the developer was able to push Harlynx to display 64 colours at the same time. We have to say it looks amazing!
