TOEJAM III (Video Games, Fall 2020)

Post by InvadErGII »

I'm pleased to announce that I'll be producing TOEJAM III, the third iteration of my occasional retro-focused video game tournament series. The set will have about 8 packets of tossups with the following distribution:

4/0 8-Bit Era and Oldera
4/0 16-Bit Era
4/0 32- and 64-Bit Era
4/0 "Modern" Era (loosely defined as PS2 to present)
4/0 Miscellaneous/Other

This will be written primarily by me, with possible contributions from others depending on how things go. Like the previous iterations, it will probably be quite difficult.

TOEJAM III will be available for mirrors in time for ACF Fall 2020.

Has 2017 TOEJAM II been posted anywhere? Is there a way that I can get a copy of it?

I think it will be ready closer to January, but our intention is to have mirrors available before the next ACRONYM.
