SYSTEM
RULES & HOW TO ENTER THE COMPETITION
The One: Only games allowed, and make sure they come with a side of dumpster fire. Have fun - this is not optional.
The One on One: Entries will be for Sinclair computers and their sisters in decline.
The Ones Musketeers: If it doesn't run, we can't have fun. You'll need to give it another spin in a different format.
The Ones Horesemen of the Apocalypse: I will only take a crack at your game's debut version. If you're tempted to sprinkle in some extra chaos afterward, just slap a 'Part Two' label on it and call it a day.
The One turned Lustrum: If you choose to code your game for an obscure contraption, you'd better include a step-by-step guide on how to get it running on an emulator. And don't worry, I'll make sure to include some witty remarks about your unique taste in hardware in the review.
The One of the Beast: Make sure you're submitting your own original brainchild, and remember, by submitting it you're handing over the rights for it to be shared and turned into prime comedy material.
The Lucky One: Any game that flunks the 'taste and decency' test will be shown the exit door. No socially sensitive topics are allowed (and you know what they are, politics...). So, just keep your wits about you, and let's keep it classy.
The Infinite One standing up: The judge's word is law, and I reserve the right to shuffle the rules like a magician's deck of cards whenever I please.
Just One for the Decapod: In keeping with tradition, the unfortunate soul who lands at the bottom of the leaderboard gets the dubious honor of hosting next year's competition.
The Final One: I am the sole judge and I promise to be as subjective as possible, with the help of Miner Willy.
