Atari Lynx News and Updates

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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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Note: the news section is no longer being updated.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

[Jan 22 2019] — Space Battle for Atari Lynx available for preorder

The long awaited Atari Lynx game, Space Battle is finally available for pre-order from Luchs Soft! 🚀 You can order a single cartridge or a double cartridge version. This is a multiplayer focused game so having two cartridges is a good idea! Quadromania is being released the same day, see the announcement for that here.

[Jan 9 2019] — High-Resolution maps for Slime World are now available

As I mentioned in the Atari Lynx Handycast EPISODE 10: Todd’s Adventures in Slime World, Alex Thissen from the Netherlands has circa-1992 hand-drawn maps of each of the six levels, or Adventures, of the game posted on his website, Diary of an Atari Lynx Developer. 💦

The scans he has on his site are of a low resolution, rendering them less than helpful to the avid Slime World player. But Alex recently provided high resolution scans of these maps which can be found over at the Lynx Handycast page here - High-Resolution Scans of Alex Thissen’s Slime World Maps Are Now Available!

[Jan 9 2019] — Shipping costs rise significantly affecting Luchs Soft homebrew releases

From 2019, shipping costs from Germany have risen significantly prompting the Luchs Soft Shop to be in maintenance mode for days making all of the homebrew releases sold there unavailable for purchase. The current estimates for shipping costs are around the €20 mark, up from around €7.

Update: Luchs Soft found a way to keep shipping costs the same and the store will be back online in the next few days! 🎉
