Looks interesting. In fact, there's lots of compos going on. Once I make my TGC puzzle game, I'll have to make something for this competition.

I really should try and enter a compo some time but they just don't seem like the thing for me.

I'd assume they mean maximum for that one as having MINIMUM system requirements just wouldn't work. What thats saying is that if your game can run on a machine less than 1.5Ghz it won't be allowed, so best use high polygon objects everyone.

I might have a go at entering this, especially if my Intelligent Ragoll system is working properly. Will probably be fairly easy using it to have pirates on a ship swinging around the mast and swinging across ropes fending of zombies.

Simple... yet fun!

I'm seriously thinking about entering this competition.

I skipped these last 4 competitions because I've been too busy:
* TGC Compo 2004 (Snake remakes, etc)
* Cinco de Mayo Competition
* onGamedev's First Spring Programming Contest
* TGC Puzzle Competition

But I should have some time between now and Haloween to complete something.

I want to make a 2D old school game, similar to the original Zelda.

I even want to make old-school music with a C64 SID Chip to complete the package. I just can't get out of RETRO mode.

@Tobias - I agree that it's hard to get out of Retro mode! For one of my 2D game projects I'm composing the music entirely with a sequencer I purchased on a cartridge for my original GameBoy Can't believe all the cool sounds you can do with it hehehe...

So how 'big' does the game need to be? They give a time-limit, but no indication of the games 'scale' (mini-games? Full RPG's?)
