Show off your (old) gear, win shiny new (ROCCAT) gear!
As you know, the GOG.com catalog spans many titles dating back as far as 1980 (Akalabeth, we’re looking at you!), in times when computers kind of looked like modern-day microwaves sat on top of a console, and the first portable computer, the Osborne I, was put on the market in all the glory of its 24 pounds of weight and a steep $1,795 price tag.
We don’t expect you to have gear that’s quite as old, but we are curious as to what treasures you might be keeping in a box stored away in the basement or deep in an attic drawer. So show us your oldest gear and be greatly rewarded with the some of the newest on the market, courtesy of gaming gear creator and producer ROCCAT!
THE RULES:
– Your entry should consist of 1 or 2 pictures of your old gear and a description of up to 100 words telling us what it is, where you got it, what you used it for or any other fond memories you have with it. Maybe it was your first joystick? Maybe an old Atari controller you kept as a memento? We want to hear about it!
– You can only post one entry per person. If you post more, only the first one will be counted.
– You may not edit your post.
– Use your own photos of your own gear – we do know how to do a reverse image search!
Post your entry in the comments below before the deadline – you have a week, until March 6th, at 1:59 PM GMT. We aim to judge your entries and pick winners by Thursday, March 12th – we’ll announce them in the contest forum thread and via PM to the winners themselves.
THE PRIZES:
1st place prize: a ROCCAT Isku, gaming keyboard with blue-tinted illumination, secondary programmable Shift function, and Thumbster Macro Keys below the spacebar to maximise gaming effectiveness
2nd place prize: a ROCCAT Savu, mid-size hybrid gaming mouse with an adjustable, 400-4000 DPI optical sensor, secondary programmable function, customizable illumination, and a powerful driver suite
3rd place prize: a ROCCAT Sense, mousepad with friction-reducing microcrystalline coating for greater mouse speed and precision
All winners will also get GOG.com gift codes to use on games of their choice to test out their new gear!
Honorable mentions: We expect there to be many great-quality entries, so we’re reserving the right to give out honorable mentions to all those we find did a brilliant job, but didn’t quite make the podium cut. They’ll get GOG.com gift codes to use on titles available in our catalog.
Should you be one of our top three winners, we will need some mailing data (name, address, phone number) to ship your prize to you. If the ROCCAT Marketing Team ends up sending the prizes directly to you, we will need to share your mailing information with them. We will not share it with anyone that doesn’t need it!
Please note that this contest is also being held on the French and German GOG.com forum – winners will be chosen, regardless of language, from across all three contest topics. 🙂
