After a year off *cough*, this year we will be having another set of annual
SMS Power! Anniversary Competitions.
Music competition
Make something musical that is also Sega 8-bit related. It can be a remix of a game tune, or an original composition for the PSG, or just an original composition in cool 8-bit square-wave style. Check out previous competitions for examples.
