Retro Remakes 2008 Competition
Help Us Out: Add your game to the showcase | Help us keep RR online
Hello, just a quick post to let everyone know that come September we’ll be launching The Official 2008 Retro Remakes Competition. Yes, I know I said “never again” about 400 times but the truth is, I miss them when they’re not around. So I’m going to make a serious mental note that when the time comes at the end of this competition and I’m short on hair to say “ok, well that’s out the way till the next time…”
As usual, we won’t be revealing too much in the way of details until September 1st when the rules go live. This goes for time limits, prizes and the whole gubbins. It’s all top secret until then.
We’ve already got a nice prize pool building up with part of the top prize being something rather quite special indeed (we’ve got two of them actually, but that’s by the by), and we’re (well, Caff is) hard at work trying to make the prizes even better than last time.
If you’re a kind application developer, a generous shareware author, a magazine publisher, a games publisher, run an online store of some variety or you think you’ve got something you fancy throwing into the prize pot (or you know someone who just might) then please, drop Caff a line (tck BANANA tcksoft.co.uk - removing the fruit and replacing with an at sign, obviously). We get a ruck of press coverage during competition times with crazy traffic to match, you get a lovely spot on the sponsors page in every single game that comes out of the competition as well as a permanent spot on our competition pages with a click through to your site. More importantly, you get our eternal love, affection and thanks. Just think of the rapture that could bring all by itself.
Last time, the good folks round these parts managed to not only write an absolute ruck of fantastic games, but also came out with the most accessible game outside of academia. Who knows what sort of brilliant madness will emerge from this years? I don’t, but I’m sure as heck looking forward to finding out.

Oh holy hell. I missed out on this the last time you held it. I won’t make that mistake again.
To say that I’m pleased is a *massive* understatement. :D
Wheeeee!!!
Aaaaggghh!!!
Wheeeee!!!
Aaaaggghh!!!
Now I have to finish all the other crap I started by September, but it’s the remakes competition. Yay!
Will there finally be a prize for most spectacularely unfinished WIP?
Is the splash screen allowed to fade in/out? :D
Hoorah and all that.
:D
Compared to this the Olympic Games will be nothing.
Will there be a wooden spoon prize for the most lacklustre entry?
(my current one has curry stains)
Yaay! Thanks for making this (quite brave) decision! :)
I reckon I might have stab at it this year…
Oh go on Chris, join in. I reckon you could cook up a stormer.
No wooden spooner this year I’m afraid. The main aim is to promote more ways to win nice things this time round and… and… that’s all I’m saying for now ;)
Right time to get all my current projects done and dusted. I want a piece of this :)
Wow, that old logo’s a blast from the past ;)
Can’t wait!
Come on, Compo!!
Fantastic!
