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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Fadest, the author of YNXA and the upcoming YNXA full version release has just made his game engine available for beta testing. This is a no-code game maker, though there are a still a few hoops to jump through.
Games are limited to puzzle-platformed style games, exactly like YNXA is. Music has to be composed in ABCmusic. There are also limitations on enemy types, number of switches and gems and level composition. Even with those limitations, this looks like a really fun project to get started with Lynx coding.
If you're interested in beta testing, head on over to this AtariAge forum thread and leave a comment - Looking for beta-testers : want to create puzzle-platformer games (like Ynxa) with no code on Lynx ?
