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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
The home brew game scene for Atari Lynx is producing some very impressive games as of late and recently there was one amazing game demo release and a very interesting looking upcoming game announcement. These are for Odynexus: Journey to Ithaca (Demo) and Dead Mall respectively.
Both games will have arcade style action, with Odynexus going for a classic space shooter feel and Dead Mall bringing back the 90s dithered style graphics to the Lynx in a mall shooting style game.
Odynexus has a playable 2-level demo released on itch.io so be sure to check it out. A physical cart release should be available later on in 2020.
