I'm sorry to inform that the 8-bit & 16 bit and 32-bit & 64-bit oldskool demo competitions will be combined even if we would get enough entries for having them as separate. This is so because the prizes need to be ordered beforehand and separate compos haven't been so popular in the past. Otherwise the oldskool rules are the same as they have been in the last couple of years. Sorry for your inconvenience and late notice.
You can read the rules for compos here: https://assembly.org/events/summer24/en/demo-competition-rules
Hoping to see good oldskool demo compo this year too!

It's only a real party when deepr partycodes most of the party :)
"Nähää asepyllyil"
“Oldskool hardware in the 8-bit & 16-bit & 32-bit & 64-bit era” has to be the best short platform description I've seen :-)
Still waiting for that 128-bit era to come
