Retro Minigame Competition Revealed

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday September 24, 2003 @08:05PM from the melon-says-let's-go-back-to-school dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the 2003 Minigame Competition, a homebrew game contest "open to games for 'classic' 8-bit computers from the '80s", and featuring two categories, for games where the "...maximum size of the executable... is 1024 or 4096 bytes." Voting is currently open, although new games are still being submitted, and notable highlights include SCSIcide ("You are a disk drive read head, and your mission is to read the color-coded bits of data as they scream past you on 10 separate data tracks"), and JoustPong 1K for the Atari 2600 ("JoustPong is an old school Pong Deathmatch... but with a flap button!")

We were hoping for a few more original entries, but the rules do state that you're allowed to submit previous work... But with games being submitted every day, it looks like we might even beat last year's 63 entries.
