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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Both the Lynx GD (Game Drive) from RetroHQ and the BennVenn's ElCheapo SD flash carts for Atari Lynx had some awesome updates in the last few days. If you've been following the progress of these two projects, both are aiming for blazing fast ROM loading from an SD cart. The RetroHQ cart is more of a 'premium' product that features an all new menu system with game screenshots loading, a cheat system and many configurable options. It will come in professional packaging and will be available from Atari Age and Dragon Box. Check out the 'first look video' here.
BennVenn's version of the cart aims for the budget market and provides the basics for playing ROMs from an SD card, it's fast, but doesn't have all the fancy features or packaging, but comes at a much lower price point. The boards are ready in China according to BennVenn's latest update.
Atari Gamer has both carts to review and we will be doing a head-to-head review in this coming week, so keep an eye out!
