paramita Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hi Lynx Homebrew scene, I have been lurking for a while, but this is my first post, (so be gentle, if I'm breaking the rules ). I recently fixed my Lynx I, which hasn't worked in 20 years. Then found myself buying some games and another lynx on ebay so that I could (finally) play with the comlynx - it used to be such a fraustration that I was the only kid I knew with an atari lynx... I guess I was just too cool for (my) school! I have homebrewed up some replacement battery covers. They are available on shapeways at the following: Lynx II battery cover, Lynx I battery cover, I have also done a cart plastic & some Lynx 2 grips - though I think this works best in the elastoplastic - which is a maker only material, so not for sale. They are still a little experimental, and I realise that they aren't cheap. 3D printing hasn't quite got to the consumer electronics level yet. But I don't know of any other products like this.... Comments much appreciated! I am fairly good at CAD so if there is something obviously missing from the lynx hardware portfolio let me know! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a yellow or ice-blue translucent Lynx shell (complete), but that's probably a few years away. Still, I can dream... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramita Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Interesting thought David - the cost could be prohibitive at the moment - there would need to be quite a bit of material and 3D printing services often use volume as a metric for price. You've got me thinking though.. .it might be fun to do something with that... Edited November 7, 2016 by paramita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnotorious Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Looks like this thread has been a bit sedentary for a while. Anyone still working on new games for the Lynx these days? I just picked up a used one and would love to know if anyone's still got code in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yes, there are people out there still working for Atari's best console (troll inside ^^) If everything goes as intended I should be able to unveil in a week or two a little "hommage game" to one of my favourite 90's game, on the Lynx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadest Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I would say a (spy) Roguelite (of espionage) Not sure about my english syntax, so don't know which proposition between parenthesis is the best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The game is both and Action game (real time, driving, shooting) and an Adventure game (secret agent, find clues, use your wits). This makes it Action-Adventure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks Karri, updated now. What Fadest said is what I was thinking originally, hence why I labelled it as 'dungeon crawler', but you are right it is more action/adventure, plus you know best with your game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
