Wyvern Tales and Sky Raider Redux are being shipped out on the 14th of September, but pre-orders are open already and they're selling fast! Here's a word from Songbird Productions...

We are on track for these exciting new releases! All the parts are in stock; now we just need to get busy and build up inventory so we can start shipping by the release date, Sep 14. Don't wait, as each game is limited to only 250 units and we've already sold about half of Wyvern Tales and a quarter of Sky Raider Redux.

8-Bit Strike is still in development but we keep getting new bit of information about it. This time there's a preview of a new map. Here are some words from the developer...

Things were a bit slow over the summer, but TIX has got round to completing the new tileset for tropical maps. The first map is the legendary "de_aztec", here is an overview:

You can also check out the official Blog for more details about this game.

This is one of the first games to make full use of the online internet multiplayer features and we're ready to try it out! Here's a word from the developer...

The full version of 8-Bit Slicks for the Atari Lynx (with 22 maps, improved sprites, etc) is almost ready @ Songbird Production.I am currently working on several shipments of 8bit-Hubs, which Songbird will retail together with the game (so you can play Slicks online with your Lynx)!

We're proud to announce that Atari Gamer is now officially working in collaboration with BennVenn and are taking care of distributions of their Atari Lynx LCD mods kits and ElCheapoSD flash carts (once those are back in stock).

We did a soft-launch of our store at the beginning of the month to see how it went and now have limited stock of kits remaining, but there will be a re-stock soon so if something is not available, it will return!

There will be lots more items coming to the store soon too!

Here's a new article from Engadget about Atari Lynx getting 4 new games. As usual, they're way behind the times and our new releases page shows that there's some 50+ odd new releases for the Lynx over the past two years. Still it's nice to have our favourite console get a mention in such a large publication.

There were other articles about the Lynx on Engadget, you can read them here and here and of course this article about Wyvern Tales.

Keep on Lynxing and don't forget to check out our newly launched shop, we have LCD mod kits, cart programmers and various other Lynx related items for you.

Raid on TriCity has been released for some time and Yastuna Games has announced that they were working on an updated version too. Well now the time has come and there is not one version of this game, but two! A free digital release and a physical release with a story mode and much more included. Here's an update from the developer...

Raid on TriCity - First Impact is the name of the new arcade version of the game, it enhances the experience from last year:

• the game is now more punchy
• you can chose 3 levels of difficulty to start
• bombs now explode when they hit the ground, this is a real game changer, so be careful
• a leaderboard keeps trace of your high scores

Raid on TriCity - Second Wave is the physical release of the game, it features the same arcade mode that the First Impact has, and also adds a whole new Story mode:

• chose your path wisely and travel from challenge to challenge,
• encounter friendly or unfriendly events, and try to succeed before the time runs out,
• unlock Story Mode++, where you only have 1 life to succeed.

Nomad Studios, the creator of Wyvern Tales has been a little quiet on the Atari Lynx homebrew scene, but no more, there was a huge announcement recently that is bound to get any Lynx fan excited. Here's a word from Nomad...

I've teamed up with Songbird Productions for an upcoming batch of Wyvern Tales in September. The quality of the cartridges and boxes are similar to other Songbird releases, so this is something to look out for. You will be able to purchase it both directly from the Songbird webshop, and the old way through the mailing list. Once the batch is ready for sale, you'll receive the official announcement.

Lately, I've been working on a new Minigame Collection. The ROM will be made freely available, nonetheless I'm teaming up with Yastuna Games to offer physical copies as well. The release is really soon, so stay tuned!

My next big project will be a continuation of Nomad Rally 2018 Demo, the demo that was released for e-JagFest 2018. It should include more cars and tracks, and who knows what more. The game will be released with Bitmap Soft, a retro game publisher from the UK.

Yes it's 2021 and we're talking about a 2020 party, but we're living in crazy times! Sillyventure 2k20 was postponed but now it's back as SillyVenture 2020 Summer Edition being held between the 20th and 22nd of August at the Polsat Plus Arena Gdańsk. It looks like the event will be a blast (as usual)!

Of course there are the usual competitions for games, demos and music demos - you have to submit a week before the event date, so you really don't have a lot of time left. Get your entries finished and see how well you do! Full competition rules are available here.

We held the LynXmas 2020 event during the holiday/festive season last year and had a very good turnout and an amazing qualify of submitted games. We wanted to wait some time before releasing the full ROM pack for download, but now it is time - we've put it up on the ROM downloads page.

Our other ROM download packs are of course still available and have ROMs from all the previous game jams and programming competitions we hosted.

Wyvern Tales and Sky Raider Redux have been promised by Songbird Productions and now they are about to deliver! This is probably the most exciting news in the Lynx homebrew development scene in 2021 so far. We know that many of you have been waiting for a re-release of Wyvern Tales for many a year so here's your chance to grab a copy. While at it, the updated version of Sky Raider is definitely going to be a hit, the new animations, sounds, music and boss battles are something to look forward to!

Pre-orders can be placed from the Songbird Productions store.
