atari 2600 style game contest

[Silverthorn]

Okay, to clear this up: people hate/have no time/interest in creating a game. Not to mention creating a game with restrictions. That 8-color-game-contest miserably failed. There was a 16x16px-game-contest or so as well, iirc, and it failed as well. I would be really surprised if this would change this time. Just my opinion.

Instead, I'd rather recommend sticking with more simple stuff. Let people create game elements; something which can easily be done within 1-2h. The less time one needs to spend, the more people will join. Basic rule
