I see this game "won" the CSS CGC 2018!

Congrats [mention]MonkZy[/mention], will you be hosting?

Does anyone know what's happening with this year's CGC?

Hey, congrats!
Thermal Ski was a worthy actual winner, and this a worthy loser!

I am the official loser of the CSSCGG! Thanks for the heads-up [mention]R-Tape[/mention]. The email account I used when I entered this compo is now dormant, it was an old ISP account I no longer use, meaning I missed the announcement by a month it would seem :oops: I will contact Shaun immediately. I am not sure whether the loser is the host for the following year (this year).

This mighty fine forum was the reason I entered the compo, I had zero knowledge of machine code programming when I joined. Thanks to you all.

Unless Shaun found someone else (the main site and the spam-infested CSS user group don't suggest so), it looks very much like you're this year's host I'm afraid! :mrgreen:
Well, we have a a couple of big announcements... our winner is the fantastic Thermal Ski entered by UNSATISFACTORY SOFTWARE. What a hit that was. And as for the loser, well that was the rather drab GO RACE! entered by Simon Pitter.

Seems to me the whole winner/loser thing was the wrong way round anyway.

If I had time I'd build an admin framework for hosting these on my webspace. But so far, nope. I don't even know how to do scripted uploads, never mind all this 'tweeting' b*ll*x... :roll:

Seems okay to me! That's part of the gag anyway innit? Either way, these days it seems to be a case of finding a willing volunteer!

I've emailed MonkZY. If he's not up for it shall we see if we can find a volunteer here or at CSS? Worst case scenario is that I could host the game downloads on my webspace and have a thread here and at CSS, it'd be a slimmed down affair though.

And I forget what the record is, but have we broke the record yet for latest CGC start?

Edit - better wording

CSS what for? You just need The Amazing Portal Generator
What It Is


A Web portal is a Web page that provides an entry point to the World Wide Web. AOL paid $9.6 billion for Netscape just to get their popular Web portal.* Now you can make your own Web portal for free with the Amazing Portal Generator.

Isn't that amazing?
Ahhhh what memories. This reminds me when I learnt about R80 emulator

I think the previous record was the end of April (in 2007), so yes!

Excellent, a landmark year before it's even started!

I've emailed Chris Young and Shaun Bebbington to see what they reckon.

It is, in many ways, my fault there was no 2019 CSSCGC. I am sorry for what happened, and am glad John (PROSM) has hosted the competition for this year.
