BBC excluded from BP

category: general [glöplog]
 
BBC Micro is an awesome computer with games like Spy VS Spy and Custard Pie Fight, and was really popular in schools in the early 90s, yet if I want to enter a demo for it at BP I have to enter it in the real wild compo! Ridiculous, just ridiculous. Fuck you, scamp!

Shouldn't that be in the amiga compo?!

exactly, if you exclude the BBC from BP it's a constraint of freedom of speech!

parapete: The problem is it has no German style keyboard. Fix that issue and the bp organizing team can't deny it any more from the compos.
it's the famous german chauvinism, isn't it?

Why can't BBC entries compete in the PC compo? :P

where's your fucking problem?
that there is no competion for BBC Micro?
or that now you can't win the bbc micro competition anymore cause your entry is the only one?

havoc: I have the feeling that compared to those BBC scners Atari demosceners are even more evil. All three of them.
madenmann, yes, well, at least we manage to kick out more prods than the amiga scene. (ok, it's not a lot to be proud of, but at least we don't whine about it endlessly... ;))

... not to mention the Mega Drive scene ;)

We need a good Altair demo compo....

The categories could be:

1K MegaDemo (with loading parts, if you don't have any devices connected to it, type it in by yourself!)

256 Bytes One-file (oooh yeah, make a LED scroller and a LED-Vector, at least)

and 32 bytes intro (Can you handle Graphics and sound in this one?)

Welcome to the only valid argument in the amiga debate. At least Atari people don't cover the wool over their own eyes, and I love them for that.

parapete: i suggest making a diskmag and whining about it there, that way you won't have to communicate directly with the other people involved in the decision. works like a charm.
