rec.arts.int-fiction competition

This annual contest for short games was started on Usenet to encourage people to release more games. The official contest rules and other materials can currently be found at the Comp site. In addition to the entries, each competition from 1996 onward has had a front-end in Z-code to aid judges in selecting games to judge.
