AA contest idea

[Atari-Jess]

just throwing it out there, maybe its been suggested, maybe not.

 

Atari Age could hold contest, maybe the games end up too big, I don't know.

 

But if its possible to create a multi-cart with 2600 basic made games, I think a contest

that we vote on the best games created with 2600 basic should be made into a cart.

 

Say the best 4 games.

 

I think that would be pretty exciting. Give each winners a copy of the cart, but even

further, there would be a label contest!

 

So you'd have 5 winners, with the label contest being held obviously after the initial

contest ran.

Ever heard of a little something called the Minigame Compo?

 

Not exactly what you are proposing, but every bBASIC game is a 4K game so could be entered in the compo.

I'd be willing to get behind this idea, although I think we should let the whole Batari 2600 BASIC Compiler mature a bit first. He's still hard at work on the compiler, and people are only just starting to make games with it. I think there's a lot of potential and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

Definitely. It's still so new, so not only does the Batari BASIC need to mature, but so do the coders. They're still exploring it and such.

 

Although I don't expect it will take too long before we see such a contest

 

I mean, a contest like this needs its time so even once it runs I don't expect that it'll be over for a little while.

 

But I'm glad you like the idea Albert

It's not exactly what you were thinking, but a Batari Basic contest has arrived.
