RetroChallenge 2022/10 Theme CategoriesWe have one theme category for this event: Endurance Challenge. This category will be judged and awarded separately from the standard entries. If your project qualifies, enter it into the theme category! Otherwise, enter in the General category and just do your own retro thing. Check out last year's List of Entries for some examples.
Endurance ChallengeReally use your retro-computer for a month!
Getting back to the ideals of the orginal RetroChallenge, we are challenging you to use your vintage computer for a month doing normal stuff like using a word processor, sending emails, surfing the web, gaming, etc. Document what you did, what works, what doesn't, and what solutions you found. Anybody have a BBS that entrants can use for their update logs?
PrizesWe have will hopefully have some RC 2022/10 mousepads and some more donated items for the "winners".
How to EnterFill out the Entry Form for Contestants and save the link at the end in case you want to update or change your information. Let us know in the comments if you have any issues signing up.
