Any chance of coverage of the MiniGame Comp

[martin_f]

Any chance of getting some coverage of the mini-game comp (entries for 8bit : 1K and 4K, 16bit : 2K and 8K etc). A bit of promotion / coverage wouldn't do it any harm, and it would make others aware of new *free* (albeit small) games written for the 8-bit platforms.

The 2005 one just finished (end of Nov). There are some cracker 8-bit games in there, would be good to see them in retro gamer (including my own creation, VIC-LC for the VIC-20 (came 10th out of 20 4k entries. Not bad for my first attempt).

With the exception of 2001, all the previous years' competitions are still online too, containing hundreds of little games for old computers and consoles.

Although the 2001 competition site was recently hacked, you can at least find the C64 entries here:
