The Retro Remakes 2008 competition

Some time ago I discovered this competition about making retro games. Well, not every category is retro, but 5 out of 6 are, so... It's called Retro Remakes Big Competition, and is hosted by the Retro Remakes site. You can see the rules and all on the competition blog, and everything else on the forums.
They accept games in almost every form, for every platform, but the deadline is December the 2nd, so hurry up.

I'll be entering with a game in the Games For Helen category, that is games that can be played by people with physical difficulties. There's two subcategories: one for games that have a one-button control scheme (if you can call it a scheme), and games that are controlled with the gaze of the eye. Yes. Gaze, you read it well. Look here (look, ah ah).
My game will use Flash as platform of development and will be called Paper Circus, it's a game in which you are a boy that dreams of his paper circus becoming real, and the player must perform a circus show to please the public. The game will be made up of very small mini-games...
I can't share much for now because I just started, but more will come soon.
