Retrochallenge, a challenge for old computer users.

[macto]

Do you depend upon modern computers, or are you a creative spirit who can push the limits of your old hardware in order to fulfill your everyday needs?  The second annual retrochallenge is where you find out.

There are challenges for people who love to program, create visual art, music, or who simply love to use old computers.

If you would like more information about the Retrochallenge, please visit our website at http://desnoyers.org/retrochallenge

Note: the challenge is open to most users of 68k Amiga hardware and users of other legacy hardware.  Users of emulators and PPC based Amigas cannot participate in the challenges, though you are more than welcome to judge.

When the contest was designed, the new generation of processors (PowerPC and Pentium) were deliberately excluded.  While the 68060 wasn't intended to be excluded, it probably is (the cut-off for systems and accelerator boards is March 1993).

And you most certainly don't have to keep up the old computer use at work.  I don't want to see an overeager Amiga user lose their job in the process. :lol:  Besides, if you are just doing some artwork or music production on your old beater, you only have to use the old machine while producing that work.

Tedious in what way?  Please let me know so that it can be changed in 2006.  :-D

Okay then.  I tried to make it look less tedious, and hopefully succeeded in making it less tedious, so that more people will participate.  (Gone are a lot of the arcane rules, replaced with either simple to follow score sheets or nothing at all.)

And I think that Bruce Lee is far more skilled than a dancing banana, at least when it comes to ass kicking.  Heck, Bruce Lee could fight bloated sumo's.  A banana would run in terror when it saw a hungry sumo.
