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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
This page provides links to the various pages that document the Atari Lynx hardware. We also have a page dedicated to Atari Lynx Repair and Troubleshooting Guides.

Motherboard Revisions🕸
Both the Atari Lynx model 1 and model 2 had a number of motherboard revisions over their life times. This page attempts to capture as many of these revisions as have been produced. This is work in progress and this list will be updated as we come across more. If you have a motherboard revision that is not listed here, please take some photos and get in contact with us.
Where model numbers are linked, they point to pages that have more detailed images of the motherboards.
