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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
For an extra shield, move halfway across the screen at the start of any level. Pause the game and press B. If you are positioned correctly, an extra shield will be awarded and the text "Shield Awarded" will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Extra ShieldFor another extra shield, wait until the clock is at "299", then pause the game and press B. This cheat may only work in earlier levels of the game.
Extra Money and ItemsLocate a shop that has a red $5 money bag on the same screen as the shop’s entrance. Collect the money, enter the shop, then exit. The money bag will appear again. Collect the money and repeat this procedure to increase your funds. Buy extra lives for $35 each if time runs out during this trick. Up to 9 shields at $10 each may also be collected with this procedure.
