Oldskool competitions

General information

  • Supported platforms are anything with a CPU that has a 16 bit or smaller data bus (C64, Amiga ECS, ZX Spectrum, VIC20, Atari XL, Atari ST, NES, SNES, Master System, Mega Drive, ...)
  • Please contact us beforehand for any platform that does not produce a VGA or PAL signal so we can plan to record your production properly. Ideally bring a recording yourself in this case - providing your own recording does not mean we don't need to see the real hardware.
  • For C64 : Please state which SID chip to use (6581/8580). This information will be displayed on the info slides for your production.
  • Please state if your entry requires any user interaction (pressing space at the end of parts, etc)
  • The entry has to be delivered as a disk- or cartridge file (strongly preferred). Don't have an image ? Physical media are still allowed, don't worry.
  • You must deliver proof that your entry works on real hardware (i.e. bring the hardware with you and show the organizers).

Oldskool Demo

  • Maximum size is 1 standard medium for your platform. For example
    • 1 disk (both sides on single-side media) on VIC20, C64, Atari ST
    • 1 cartridge image for NES
    • 1 roll of Paper Tape for your Data General NOVA System.
  • Maximum running time: 8 minutes (including loading/precalc, which won't be shown on the big screen).
  • No autostart or assembler jumps/SYS on systems with a BASIC interpreter.

Oldskool 4K Intro

  • Maximum size is 4096 bytes (16 blocks and 32 bytes on C64). The production must be a single file. (Noters are OK). If the minimum cartridge image for your platform is larger than 4096 bytes, only the first 4096 bytes of the cart may be used - bring a cartridge image as proof.
  • Maximum running time: 8 minutes (including loading/precalc, which won't be shown on the big screen).
  • No autostart or assembler jumps/SYS
