Your #1 source for Atari Lynx news and information!

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 And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a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.

When are all the new features coming?

The content on this web site is being rolled out gradually. The aim is to have everything up an running by the end of 2018.

Is the focus really just on Atari Lynx?

Yes! Unlike other sites AtariGamer.com is 100% dedicated to the Atari Lynx. The aim is to try and preserve and catalogue the history of this amazing console, so making all information digital and available to all is the best way to do that.

Why is the site's name AtariGamer.com then?

It seemed like a great idea at the time! Maybe eventually the site will expand to covering other Atari consoles.

I have something to contribute, how do I do it?

Contributions are always very welcome! Please get in contact and we'll discuss further details.

There are other similar sites, what makes this one unique?

As mentioned above, many other sites focus on multiple consoles and don't capture as much detail as AtariGamer.com. With a single minded focus on one console, AtariGamer.com should be the #1 destination for all Atari Lynx related information.

What games are included in game database?

The game database covers all of the official releases for the Atari Lynx, as well as aftermarket, homebrew, prototype and unreleased games. It also covers games in current development.

Some game information is incorrect, how can it be updated?

Please get in contact and provide any corrections, this will then be incorporated into the game database.

What is the small number under the rarity score?

That is the rarity factor count. It shows how many data points have been used to calculate the rarity score. The higher the number (4 or above) the more certain you can be of the rarity score.

Is this site free to use?

The site is 100% free to use and is supported with ads. Donations are always welcome however!
