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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.
Since we started to collaborate with AtariAge, quite a few new ideas have come up and one of them has been updating the look and feel of the game database we maintain. Previously the interface felt a little old and like it didn't show enough information, now we've added a heap of new icons for the release type, cartridge type, package type and ROM. It looks much more appealing now and it's easy to see information about each entry at a quick glance...
Comparing variants of the same game couldn't be easier now too (though you can still do a side-by-side compare if you click on a game entry and then from its information page click the 'Compare' link)...
All of the official releases and pack types are included and the rarity scores are now shown next to each of the game entries (where available). There is no longer a separate rarity scores page.
Of course the 'Advanced Search' has been updated to include all the new categories.
Oh and there's a cool new Legend at the bottom of the game listing too!
The Collection Tracker has had the same changes introduced too.
Enjoy!
