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.

(68000 computers get a x2 modifier compared to the standard '030 computers which will be a modifier of x1.)

     You think you got what it takes?  :)
