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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Note: the news section is no longer being updated. Please keep up with news via our social media posts.
When
Benn Venn first announced his Atari Lynx LCD mod kit, it was only meant to work with the Model 2 Lynx, but now with a firmware update, the kit will also work with a Model 1. Great news!
Another lot of three Atari Lynx boxes for Songbird Productions games have been revealed. These are for Loops, Championship Rally and SFX. They look amazing!
Jon Mc, the Atari Gamer resident game reviewer and top guest contributor has started a new channel where he does Atari Lynx game walkthroughs. The first episode is for
Switchblade II. You can check it out on
YouTube now!Not long ago Songbird Productions
has announced their plans to make great looking boxes for all of their Atari Lynx games. Today we have more preview images of what these boxes would look like. Don't forget to
vote for whether you want these on the AtariAge forums.
Also Songbird let it slip that a new game for Atari Lynx will be published. What could it be? Perhaps
Distant Lands or
UltraVore?
If you've been following what's happening with Lynx modding, you'd know that BennVenn is brining out
an LCD kit for the Lynx II. Well the prototype boards have arrived and more are on the way. It's sold out at the moment but BV assures more are coming soon. And yes that is a Lynx I in the photo, but the display isn't 100% working with it so for Lynx I owners, you'll have to wait a little longer.
Songbird Productions is planning to produce official boxes for all of their Atari Lynx games! It's been a long time coming but this may actually be happening now! They will be priced at $10 per box or all 9 for a total of $75. If it happens, all future games will be shipped in a box, not in a CD jewel case. So, will you be interested in these?
