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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
This is an amazing update from 8bit-Unity...character maps or tile maps, whatever you want to call them. With this update you can create maps in a text editor, assign sprites to the tiles and have the engine scroll everything for you. Super easy! There are other updates in this release but not Lynx related...
Quick overview of new features:
The new tech demo - 8-Bit Dungeon shows off these new features and it's actually quite fun to mess around in. You can try it out online here too.
