Tenliner challenge closed

Now, that was quick! The ten weeks since we started out with our Tenliner Challenge has already passed, and the deadline has passed on December 17th, 23:59:59 CET.

When we started this challenge, we had no idea how succesful the new concept with 10 lines of MSX BASIC and a media file for extra content would be. As appears out, it turned out very well! It was very well received and resulted in a whopping 19 entries that shows what a bit of creativity can get you in only 10 lines of BASIC.

Here's an overview of all the games, demos and utilities contributed to the Tenliner Challenge:

1. Retromania by PlainSpooky from Brazil
2. Runner 2000 by viejo_archivero from Spain
3. Manhole by Pentacour from Spain
4. Moon Rescue by Oscar Centelles from Spain
5. Fog Hunter by OldBitsRulez from Brazil

And of course there's bonus entry Gokivader by jury member fukenko from Japan, who became so enchanted by the challenge that he couldn't resist creating a non-participating entry.

Thank you for all your contributions! Of course all entries are a big win for MSX, but the final word on who wins any prizes is up to the jury. Now is the time to eagerly await what MSX-BASIC Games blogger Adolfo Gonzalez and the MSX Resource Center crew members Meits and Fukenko think of all your submissions and deliver their verdict.
