Crap Games Competition?

I'm a bit busy with projects at the moment, but I came across the Sinclair Spectrum Crap Games Competition (there's also a C64 version) and couldn't help thinking. Would there be any interest in doing a Dragon/Coco crap games competition?
I'd probably be prepared to organise or help organise something if there was.

Here's a quick effort, a quality arcade driving simulation written in BASIC. I call it "Ice Racer" as you drive a car over an ice covered lake during a blizzard. The controls are easy, use the cursor control keys to accelerate, brake, and turn.
Code: Select all
10 CLS 5
20 A$=INKEY$
30 IF A$="↑" THEN SOUND 50,1
40 GOTO 20
The more observant, strike that, even the least observant among you will notice that only the up arrow cursor key does anything and far from accelerating a virtual car all it does is produce a sound. Even better, to work properly it requires the repeat key function of a Dragon 64 in Dragon 64 mode so this masterpiece will not work properly on a Dragon 32, how's that for impressive programming?

Lol. That definitely is crap - I can see you'd be a force to contend with if this competition ran.
