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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
We knew this was just around the corner and it looks like it's finally happening! Argon is an emulation platform for Android devices (and Raspberry Pi). It includes Atari Lynx as one of the emulated consoles. The ability to submit your homebrew games into the Argon 'store' will open up new opportunities to developers and will hopefully encourage more games to be created for the Lynx.
Here's what the official announcement said...
As part of getting ready for the full launch we’re more committed than ever to having a constant flow of exciting new games available for you to play. With that in mind we’ve launched a new web page specifically for developers and publishers.
If you’re even the slightest bit curious about what we have to say to developers (and publishers) you should definitely check it out.
Now we can more easily communicate with people who make and license games. It’s another way we can make sure we have a growing library of retro content available for our premium subscribers.
If you’re someone who makes games for any classic cartridge system (or you know someone who does) be sure to check out the page at devs.playargon.com and get in touch.
