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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
A new year and a huge new update from Songbird Productions...
New Releases8bit-Slicks puts you in the cockpit of a high-speed racing machine. Battle it out against up to three CPU opponents on 20+ custom tracks, or play ONLINE against other retro fans using the 8bit-Hub (not included). Yes, you read that right: you can now play certain Lynx games ONLINE against other players around the world! Even better, the Hub supports cross-play, so a Lynx fan could be racing against someone playing on a C64 or other select retro platforms. This cartridge release of Slicks includes multiple exclusive features such as bonus racing tracks, in-game music, and improved graphics.
8bit-Slicks, and the 8bit-Hub will be available from Songbird in March 2022. Pre-orders open by February 1st!
Will you become an Unnamed Champion?
Unnamed quickly became one of our best-selling Lynx games when it was released in March 2021. Now Songbird has teamed up once again with talented coder Marcin Siwek to produce a limited edition Unnamed Champion cartridge. How does one get an Unnamed Champion cartridge? By winning the contest, of course!
You'll be pushed to your limits to see how well you know Unnamed by answering multiple questions about the game and exploring parts of the game you might have never seen before. Three contestants who answer all questions correctly will each win one of three Unnamed Champion carts. This exclusive cart will display the names of all three winners plus include a single brand-new playable bonus stage!
The contest will open later in January, with the winners announced by March 2022. Stay tuned!
And now for a work-in-progress update...Carl has been busy at Songbird adding new features to Microvaders for the Lynx. Check out the video below to see all-new power-ups, bigger explosions, and more music!
