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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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 Atari Lynx 30th Birthday Programming Competition reinvigorated interest in Lynx homebrew game development and produced many new and exciting titles. One of these was YNXA. Fedest, the developer has been quiet about this game for a time, but now there's a nice update from him...
Just to let you know that Ynxa (*) is not dead.
I just started working on new version, and this will include new levels.
Here is preliminary footage of the new prologue (music just as a placeholder, graphics from contest release, there may be changes on this) :
Atari Lynx - Leaf final adventures (Ynxa) - YouTube
As you can see, there will be also horizontal and vertical levels (there were only 1 of 2 of this kind in original game), and it takes a bit less than 3 minutes to get jump and double jump, with some puzzles, compared to the 30 seconds in contest release.
(*) I know, this seems to be unpronounceable in english, so there will be a new name also, probably something like Aychannak (spirit in ancient maya or inca language :D)
Fadest also had this to add...
A new and expanded version is in the work, and should be available in physical form this year.
