Develop a game for a legendary platform and have it evaluated by a jury led by cult game creators John Romero (DOOM, Quake) and the Oliver Twins (Dizzy). We'll publish all the games on Yandex.Games and give cash prizes to the developers with the most impressive projects.


This is the third game dev competition that the Yandex Museum is holding. This time, the list of platforms has been expanded. It now includes:


Amstrad CPC 464/6128
Atari 8-bit
BBC Micro/Master
Commodore 64
MSX/MSX2
TRS-80 CoCo
ZX Spectrum 48K/128K

The previous two competitions were for the ZX Spectrum only, and some amazing games were produced, like Valley of Rains (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/35155/ZX-Spectrum/Valley_of_Rains), Drift! (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/35158/ZX-Spectrum/Drift) and Marsmare: Alienation (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36516/ZX-Spectrum/Marsmare_Alienation).

Nice to see that they're expanding the competition to other platforms. The winner receives 80,000 roubles, which is approximately equivalent to £820 at the time of writing.
