Competitions
We have competitions for Atari demo/intro, graphics and music. We gladly accept remote entries.
Anything that can be shown/played on the Atari XL/ST/STe/Falcon is fine. Stuff for other Atari platforms will be shown as a video rather than from real hardware. Full specifications / hardware demands of the demo, intro, graphics and music will be shown before it's shown/played.
 
This year we are also doing a couple of game competitions of classic Atari games.
