Friends, hello everyone!

It’s no secret that while the latest releases in the world of computer games often exceed our expectations, we fondly and nostalgically remember the games we grew up with.

We have great news for you: this contest is all about those games!

If you’ve always wanted to write a guide for "Civilization", share how to properly fire a cannon in [Quake 3](/games?search=Quake 3), and at the same time reveal secrets from Pac-Man’s life, this contest gives you that chance!
