    How do I take part?
    Easy. Firstly get yourself either a real Amiga or an emulator like WinUAE or E-UAE. The current round thread will tell you which game to play, give links
    to where it's available, link to manuals (if they are online), and tell you
    any extra rules for that game. To enter take a screenshot of your highscore
    (or a photo of your TV/monitor screen if you're using a real Amiga) and post
    it in the game thread. You can use free image hosting sites like Imageshack or Photobucket to post your scores.

    All competitors must be a member at either Lemon or EAB, so if you're not already, it's time to join!

    "Sounds from C64 are now available for the plus/4!"

    Plug the card into the expansion port and you are ready to go. You can adjust the volume on the card and you can hear the sound over the plus/4 or take the output from a 3,5mm-Stereo-jack.
