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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.

  3. Update on ElCheapoSD for Atari Lynx and its cartridge shell

You've probably read our previous article - RetroHQ Lynx GameDrive and BennVenn's ElCheapoSD Cartridge Review for Atari Lynx where we've talked about the BennVenn's ElCheapo SD cartridge for Atari Lynx and the fact that it will have an injection moulded shell. Well, after much hard work, BennVenn still had some issues with the injection moulding machine so decided to go a different route for now...

A couple more last minute changes. Our injection molding machine needs upgrades to reliably press the plastic into the thinner cavities of the molds. This could take a little while with slow shipping so we just went out and invested in a 3d resin printer.

The 3D printed resin shells look good in photos but having used one of these printers in the past we know that there are many challenges to overcome with them too. Once a sample shell arrives, we'll have more to say! Though the new design looks quite slick and the addition of the 3D "BennVenn" logo is really cool.

Did we get something wrong or you have something to contribute? Please tell us about it!
