This is a counterpart to my "No more fullscreen" giveaway from a few months ago. Not solely because someone (likely, hopefully) jokingly complained, and I think I promised to offer a low-res one some day, but also because as of today and for about three weeks, I am stuck with a machine I can barely use due to the small screen and low resolution (funny, I still think my old Mac works great with 640x480, yet I feel cramped with three times that on a modern OS).
The prize is a collection of games from an Interplay Promo in December (I think), 18 of them to be exact. If you already own some of them you can redeem the rest and send what's left to a friend.
The requirement for entry is similar to the other one: either a modern screenshot at 1024x768 or smaller (1280x720 is disqualified for being too wide despite having a shorter height), that is, no old ones of Win95, 98 or Mac OS 8 or 9 (those don't qualify for "modern"), nor one taken at 1920x1080 and resized to 720x480 to fit within the limits (pixel perfection, guys, I can identify a blurred menu bar or taskbar when I see it). Or a photo of your old CRT screen in use with a recent game or application.
Time limit... until the coming weekend. I cannot be sure when exactly I will get online during the days and evenings as the family will arrive in the next few days and I will be required to socialise, but I'll cut it off sometime on Saturday the 13th or Sunday the 14th of July.
The winner will be decided through random.org.
