Título: Retrospectiva 2012 - Online Competition
Publicado por: pastbytes en 14 de Mayo de 2012, 10:51:30 pm
We would like to invite the MSX community to a little online competition we organize each year called Retrospectiva.

(http://www.retrocomputacion.com/rsp2012_banner5e.gif)

There are three categories in the competition:

- BASIC games (any BASIC variant, so you can make your game in the standard MSX-BASIC or if you like any BASIC expansion)
- Graphics
- Music

The competition is open to all 8-bit platforms, the only exception we make is for the TI-99/4a.

Starting today, you have eleven months to submit your entry.

Thanks to the collaboration of Fundación Museo ICATEC (an Argentine Computer Museum) there will be prizes awarded to the first place of each category.
