Ben from Plaion is giving away Updated Cart Socket IO PCBs in the following thread: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371614-updated-cartridge-socket-giveaway/

I had this arrive today as well. The Ghostbusters Ultimate Edition box art is excellent. This is a really nice CIB. 

It sure is!  Great job done on it.  I'm waiting for some boxes as well.  I'll post those when I get them, including one for the Rocky & Bullwinkle game.  🙂

Welcome to the I/O!
I bought a Lynx II a few years ago. I got it because I joined this forum and decided to get all the Atari platforms. Specifically, I bought the Lynx and Jaguar to participate in high score challenges run here. I'm a big fan of playing games on the original hardware.
Back in the day, I bought the Game Boy before Atari and Sega released their handhelds. When the Lynx and Game Gear were released, the color screens looked interesting, but ultimately, the portability, battery life, and the games were what kept with the GB.

I remember when I saw the Lynx, in a Boy's Life Magazine. They had a shootout between the Lynx, the Game Gear, TurboExpress, and the Gameboy. I liked the Lynx the best, but by the time I could save my pre-teenage job money it was 1996. So I ended up getting a Gameboy Pocket, no Lynx to be found at our Toys R Us by then.
 
Someday I'll get myself a Lynx. 😛

Great eyes!

Atari has really tapped into Central/South American devs for the reimagined games.
- Haunted House (2023) developed by Orbit Studio (Brazil)
- Lunar Lander Beyond (2024) developed by Dreams Uncorporated (Columbia)
- Neo Sprint (2023/2024) developed by Headless Chicken Games (Costa Rica)
- Fatal Run 2089 (2025) developed by MNSTR Studio (Brazil)
 

Looks great! Nice nod to the 2600 version.

Welcome! I actually purchased my 1st Lynx II after inquiring about it at PRGE. Both, @TrekMD and @CrossBow convinced me to get one. It took about 6 months, but I found one (CIB) with Ms. Pac-Man for a reasonable price.

Atari dropped the trailer for Fatal Run 2089. This looks like the first next-level game they are going for. Based on the graphic quality and use of Unreal, it's unlikely to see a VCS release. It's probably a bit demanding for the platform.
Interesting property to revisit. Thoughts?

Here's a demo of a new game for the Lynx:  Gotcha Gun.  Developed by the OCEO Team for Silly Venture 2024SE.  Check it out in Atari Age:  [Silly Venture 2024SE] - Gotcha Gun Demo - a new release from OCEO Team.
 

These are cool. Thanks for sharing. There’s this Store on Etsy that sells cool dioramas. This is the seller that I’ve purchased cartridge slot covers from.

Wow, there are some really creative things in that store.  And reasonably priced.  Thanks so much for sharing. 
 

I saw these on Ebay and thought I'd share them for anyone who might be interested...
ColecoVision Donkey Kong

 
Atari 2600 Frogger

This is the Ebay Store:  shdurr0.  Many different video game custom items.

I just watched this and thought I'd share it.  I know there are fans of Space 1999 here.  A 7-minute documentary of dP's "Space: 1999" project in 2024.
