It is pretty much still in the planning stage, but the folks at retroremakes.com are working on the finer details of yet another competition, which, I've read, is going to be similar as the ones held in 2003 and 2004.
As said, it is still in the planning stage, and as such there's no starting date known at this time, but, in case you wish to know more you can read up here. I'm sure they'll place the finer details in there as soon as they're available.
The RetroRemakes 2003 contest was the first contest I entered- Since then there have been 10!
But I dont really like remake contests. Though I really want to remake Civilisation

Civ has been remade quite a few times already - even in Delphi.
Remakes are cool. I did a remake of Rebelstar (fore runner to XCOM) and I would love to redo a rebelstar game in 3d isometric or 3d fullstop.
The views expressed on this programme are bloody good ones. - Fred Dagg

Packmen eh? May I point you to page one, item six, subsection ii of the rules? It says all 8 & 16bit remakes are allowed, excluding those game that have been made by anyone and their grandmother. Unfortunately that includes pacmanmaybe I’ll just code packmen in 2 hours, just for the heck of it! Idea maybe packmen FPS...
I don't think my grandmother could program pacman, but then I have not seen her for about 3 years now, so she may have learned a thing or 2 since then.
