The Official C64 SEUCK Compo 2021
The latest and sadly the very last SEUCK compo run by TND. There were a fewer entries compared to last year, but we were all treated to some fun treats. TND entered the competition with a quality shoot 'em up with the under water shooter, "Rayfish". Also there were some other fun game creations that were submitted. However the game that stood out in front of the crowd was Alf Yngve's superior "Droid Rumble", a mean robot smashing game.
The Official C64 SEUCK Compo 2020
The second but last of the SEUCK compos. It featured a variety of different SEUCK games. TND also joined in the fun, submitting "Guillotine - The Doom Machine", a fast-faced horizontal scrolling blaster with some nice graphics in places. There was also the awesome horizontal scrolling blaster from Alf Yngve called "Spearhead", but the winner of this year's competition was once again Eleanor Burns with the incredible "Synthia and the Cyber Crypt".
The Official C64 SEUCK Compo 2019
This official C64 SEUCK Compo had quite a lot of competition. TND also joined in the fun and submitted a funny sequel of "Squibblies 3", a series finale of the funny cartoon game with toilet humour. There was also a nice cartoon game called "Dream Land" by Gaetano Chiummo, but the winner was the ninjitsu, "Pagoda Warrior" by Stefano Canali. A brilliant take on the classic arcade games of the good old days of gaming. This competition by far was the best. Will there be any better competitions? We'll have to wait and see!
The Official C64 SEUCK Compo 2018
Last year's competition was the Spanish SEUCK Compo Y'Olé, which was run by Errazking. TND participated in the competition with Delta Run, and made it 4th place and as an exciting bonus "Space Crumpets". The winner of the competition was "Valkyrie 2" by Eleanor Burns. The 2018 SEUCK Competition was launched and has been successful once again with "Valkyrie 3 - The Night Witch" being the winner of the competition. T.N.D also entered the competition for a laugh with "The Last Hugger" and "CET|I 21", which did quite well, but did not quite make it to the top 3.

Yet another exciting new format was put in place for this competition. The competition supported both standard and sideways scrolling versions of SEUCK, but the new format was themed. The themes were "Futuristic" and "Fantasy". The winner of the competition was Eleanor Burns with the fantasy SEUCK role play game, "Night of the Valkyrie". A game which started the Valkyrie series.
The Sideways SEUCK fire break Compo 2015
During the Autumn, a small sideways SEUCK competition was launched. Sadly it was the least successful of all competitions and resulted with only three entries. It did not stop the quality however. There was "Eidotha" a game which you tried to cure a princess from a deadly virus. Also there was "Double or Nothing 2: Edge of Time". The winner of the competition was a Spanish arcade punch 'em up called "Retro Reto Pan" by Errazking
