It's Time to Retro!

Tin your soldering pens, clean your cassette player heads, reform your power supply capacitors, and flex your typing fingers... It's October 1st somewhere... RetroChallenge 2024/10 is Goooooo!

We have a lot of great entries, including a very strong contingent of Z80 projects by way of the RC2014s, the Sharp MZ-80Ks, and even the PERQ 2T2's I/O subprocessor.

I also like the focus on Web 1.1 and pre-Web technologies. I did some work trimming the fat on this website and supporting non-Web project URLs (more updates to come), and I have even started a new gopher site for the RetroChallenge (Web-proxy link) to join this effort!

A few entrants started early, posting about their too-large-for-a-month projects. No problem! But, rest assured they will be only judged on their progress during October.

If you are still thinking about joining but you are not exactly sure what to do, join now and see where your retrocomputing leads you during the month. Just spend some quality time with your vintage computer!

Here is some emulated Tandy TRS-80 Model 200 BASIC fun to get you inspired:

It's on like Tele-Pong!
