Play against other retrogamers online

I have recently bumped into an old link I had in my favorite list. For years now a league is organized at the yakyak forums. You just have to register there to join a retrogaming league.
When there is a competition, everybody can suggest a game and the game most voted for will be played. Mame is probably the most chosen format, but also C64, CPC, Speccy etc.
Reply with a screenshot of your hiscore of the game and your score will be added. Most (all?) games are playable on the GP2X and you probably have a good chance on the Wiz and Dingoo too.

With gshot you can make screenshots of games on the GP2X. There is a Wiz version too.

Yakyak.org is the Jeff Minter fan forum. Jeff Minter is well known for some of the most entertaining psychedelic shooters like gridrunner and llamatron. He is still active developing software.

It is not only Jeff Minter software that is being discussed there. Main interest is retrogaming.

Here the direct link to the league.

Have fun :)

hey there, I just saw this new blog post, keep them coming :). I just ordered a pandora for myself, and I can't wait to get it. I saw you were selling your place in the queue on the boards, and I wanted to know why.

Anyway, I can't wait till the next blog post, (I know it's been awhile since this post).

Hi,

Selling my place in the queue was just a joke, but to my big surprise I could indeed sell my spot.
Can't believe people are so keen on receiving it a couple of days sooner :)

I post mostly during holidays so expect some more in a couple of weeks. Or even sooner when I receive a Pandora, but to be honest I don't think I will see it in 2009.

Thanks and cya!
