Introduction
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 Retrochallenge is where you find out. This competition promotes
the use of vintage hardware by establishing up three challenges. You are
encouraged to enter any or all of theses challenges, to judge the creative
works of other participants, or simply join in the discussions on our
mailing list.

What are these challenges? If you enjoy creating original artwork, music,
or programs on your legacy computer, then the creative challenges are for
you. Simply do what you normally do, then submit your work to be judged by
your peers. The second challenge is simply using a qualifying computer
through the month of July, in a competition to see can survive a month
without the latest in gadgetry. The third challenges judges how well you
could communicate with the outside world on a retrocomputer.

So what is the prize? The excitement of participating in the challenge
(everyone gets that one), and the respect of your peers. In order to help
you gain the recognition of your peers, MLAgazine has gratiously offered to
publish an article about the winner.

(6502 computers get a x3 modifier compared to the standard '030 computers
which will be a modifier of x1, so running an 8-bit in this competition
could be fun.)

     You think you got what it takes?  :)
