IMAO, most of the entries _were_ the quality you'd expect from amateur
writers/programmers, several of whom are total beginners, who are
given a very short time to write a game. Some of the games actaully
impressed me by being of a much _higher_ quality than I had expected
(and no, Virginia, I'm not referring to my own entry :-)).

I would like to second that. I have been looking forward to playing
the different entries (since I didn't have time to write one myself)
since the competition was announced - and I'm pleased with what has
come out of it. I enjoyed playing through the different entries, and
even more important: This was the first contest, next year I expect a
bit more from the entries. And most important, this might lead to
larger and more complex games from different people in the future as
you have some reason to write a small game and test out different
features.

And for all of us - I hope that after the voting has been finished,
we can have some discussion around the games in r.a.i-f to see
what people think about the different games (flames are not necessary
I hope :-)
