Ladies & Gentlemen, it's...... (cue the music) The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2006. Yes, the time is upon us once again for the annual round of silliness that is the CGC, so let's see some really crap games this year. Over the past few years the crap games have actually been getting better (or worse, from the standpoint of the competition) - some have been downright playable and almost addictive! Stoppit!
Still wondering what all this CGC business is? Click here to make things clearer, or not. Here are some other CGC links.

The results are in! The 2005 CGC judging has concluded and the results can be found here on deKay's site. My game, the Unusual Lumberjack Adventure, scored 5/10 - not too bad for a first attempt. But congratulations to the winner for an inspired piece of absolutely terrible game programming.

And the games have started to arrive. The first 4 games of the CGC are here! Only 1 is on the games page so far, but the other 3 will be there shortly. Already a new depth of crapness has been plumbed - it's looking good folks!
