RetroChallengeRetry 2020/04

(A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail

I don't want to pass around any blame. The previous retrochallenge unexpectedly aborted with no results. All I do want to do is play with old computers and encourage others to do so. We are all stuck at home, might as well POKE at things.

Official!

This has been made officially the 2020/04 RetroChallenge. Please see retrochallenge.org for details!
