Yandex has re-launched voting for retro games. Retro Games Battle 2020 Finalists

Last year, the Yandex Museum team organized a competition to develop games for the ZX Spectrum - we value history and strive to support the community that has formed around retro technology. Each of our competitions, festival or lecture is another reason to get together (albeit online) to exchange experiences or just chat.



Last year's Retro Games Battle was a success: 19 new games reached the final! This impressed us and, I believe, inspired the community, so we decided to repeat the competition this year as well. The start was announced in the summer, the acceptance of applications has already ended. The three winners are about to be determined by a jury of game journalists, game devolopers and pioneers of creativity on retro computers (including Ocean Software - the company that developed many legendary games of the past). But, like last time, we want to present the audience choice prize to the one whose game will not be chosen by the jury, but by the users for whom the games are created. That is you.







Below the cut you will find a list of this year's finalists: you can watch a recording of the gameplay and even play it live using an emulator. You can vote for games on the competition website . Votes are accepted until 12:00 on December 7.

































On December 12, we will summarize the results of Retro Games Battle 2020 and announce the winners of the Demodulation festival (this time it is held online). In addition, the winner of the competition will have a surprise - his game will be streamed and commentated by John Romero, one of the creators of Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Quake and many other games.
