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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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 little bit of a sad update from BennVenn...
An update on the Current and next batch of Lynx LCD kits:
The last of the pre-orders are due to ship in the next couple of days.
At the last minute our LCD supplied raised the price of the Japaense spec LCD panels we used almost $20. This ate up all profits from this batch and after store & paypal fee's we probably lost a couple of dollars per order.
With the global shortage of Silicon, our factory said prices will be going up as stock decreases.
Chinese spec LCD's are around $10 cheaper than the Japanese so we'll be sampling them to see if any are suitable. The last 4 brands we've sampled have various contrast issues so they weren't an option.
Going forward, the release of the remaining kits later this week will be price adjusted. We've just asked for confirmation on pricing on the panels for the next batch. If they continue to rise, we may not do another batch until this silicon crisis is over.
We'll keep you posted!
His online store might still have some kits left over if you're lucky, so if your Lynx is in need of an upgraded screen, get it quick.
