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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Here is a collection of photos by a Discord user adrianb#5300 that shows off the difference between a modded Atari Lynx (with a BennVenn LCD mod kit), compared to the original screen. You can probably guess which one is which, but to clarify, the Lynx on top is the modded one, the Lynx on the bottom uses the original screen. What a huge difference in picture quality!
If you're looking for BennVenn LCD mod kit install guides, you can find them here. We also have a comparison table of different LCD mod kits for Atari Lynx here.
As a side note - that original screen looks to be in mint condition, most Lynx consoles with the original screen look nowhere near as good.
