What is the RetroChallenge?
Its a look at old hardware by using it, it's a discovery of the kit you loved when you were younger, it's a play for the sake of it, its stopping computers ending up in landfill sites when they are still useful, its a bit of fun for those geeks out there that want to play with old computers. If you have to ask why, then I would think that this would not be for you!
Over the last few years, RetroChallengers have taken on a variety of self-inflicted challenges... everything from exploring the basics of BASIC to music and video produced on 8-bit gear. RetroChallenge is pretty much wide-open... whatever you want to do is fine, the only thing that matters is actually doing it.
RetroChallenge runs from July 1st to 31st.
