Type in! Vintage Computer Club 8-Bit Listing Competition

Did you miss the magazine’s type-in era? Very few would actually miss it, but it brings good feelings remembering the days and nights typing programs from magazine’s listings, mainly when the program didn’t work, or a power outage would end it for you!

Well, now is time to get revenge – people will type in your program and you might get prizes for it! That is the 8-bit listing competition held by the Vintage Computer Club, which will chose the best ones to be published in the club’s newsletter and win prizes.

They are accepting entries for the following machines only:

  • Commodore 64
  • Atari 8-bit (800, XL, XE etc.)
  • Sinclair ZX Spectrum
  • Acorn BBC Micro

There are specific rules for the submissions:

  • The listing must be your own work.
  • The listing must be BASIC (though calls to OS routines are allowed).
  • It must run on the built-in BASIC with no expansions or extensions.

The deadline is on Feb 27th, 2017. To know more details and how to participate, follow the link below:
