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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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

Atari Lynx News and Updates
Note: the news section is no longer being updated. Please keep up with news via our social media posts.
We've talked about the Sillyventure 2k19 Atari Lynx programming competition already and we knew back then that there will be some amazing prizes in store, well they've now been revealed and boy do they look good! Time to get coding!
We've made a mistake! In our best and worst rated Atari Lynx games article we erroneously stated that Zaku was the best voted game, lack of sleep consumed us it seems! However our keen readers pointed out that it is in fact Lemmings that is the winner! Apologies about that! 😅
If you're going to be at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo (October 18-20) and want to play all of the games from Atari Gamer's Atari Lynx 30th Birthday Programming Competition, come to booth number 101, it's the Mark/Space booth and we'll have a number of physical Lynx systems to play with, as well as emulation on Android devices.
We saw that the Lynx SD Slim shells were revealed not long ago, well now we can see some of its electronics too! From James (RetroHQ) - "Change of scenery today! The Lynx SD Slim is now reading the SD card and accessing SRAM correctly now."
White Lynx Productions will be attending PRGE this year and you can meet the guy behind it all, Karri Kaksonen at the booth in the "Exhibitor Annex" next to the "Epic Gaming Competitive Arena". Karri will have some of the White Lynx produced games for sale and you will be able to play many games on his actual white Atari Lynx and via emulation.

We know that RetroHQ has been working on the new Lynx SD Slim and we finally have an update and a look at the new design. Straight from James himself - "I'm getting some new Lynx SD shells made along with the next batch of NeoGeo Pocket SD and Jag SD cases. It will fit in both Lynx 1 & 2, which has been one of the main goals for this next revision. :)"

If you weren't amazed by the 11 new games that came out of the Atari Gamer Lynx Programming Competition, get ready for this... The Sillyventure team has just announced yet another Lynx coding contest. There are some amazing prizes up for grabs, including a fully modded Atari Lynx!

Before you dive into it, check out the Atari Lynx Programming Resources section here at Atari Gamer.

We've just published some of our 3D print designs over at Thingiverse. The designs are for the Atari Lynx cartridge shell and the audio and ComLynx port protector.
