Ok, just thought I'd pass this along to you people.
RetroRemakes are holding a three-month comptetition to see who can make the best remake of a retro game of their choice. The rules will be announced in half an hour, and the prize money for first place is almost £900 and over 75 prices to be won.
So, if you're a programmer, stop by their site. And if you're not, you could still drop by and take a look at the devblogs going on from time to time, detailing the creation of these remakes. Maybe you'll spot a favorite of yours being remade.
