C64 Competitions :
- Compo machine will be an unexpanded C64, OLD SID, 1541-II, cartridge (Action Replay 6)
- For the music competition a choice can be made between
a C64 with OLD or NEW sid, meaning to say both will be present.
Your entry will be played for a total time of 3 minutes, and no longer. Thus, if it's longer it will be cut off.
- For both the music and graphics competition no visible signature of the artist may be shown during the display of the actual work, thus the production should be tagless. No pre-screens with additional information are allowed either. At request, artists should be able to hand over working stages.
- Your entry must be on a standard c64 5.25 DD disk.

Compo Prizes :
As X-2004 is a non-commercial party, therefore expect no major prices for the compo-winners.
Prizes, if any, are mainly subject to external sponsorship and depend on
the number of visitors.
If you submitted your entry via e-mail you will not receive any prize at all (just the fame).
The deadlines for the various competitions are listed at the program page. |
