 = SD-8516 Summer Game Jam
 The **SD-8516 Summer Game Jam** is an exciting opportunity for retro computing enthusiasts, hobbyist developers, and fans of 1970s/1980s arcade and home console classics to create games for the SD-8516 platform!
+<blockquote>**Unfortunately the game jam has been canceled as no one has signed up. I find this to be amazing given the fact I was offering thousands of dollars of prize money.
+I'd like to run another game jam in the future but I don't want to run it during school days because a lot of students need to focus on their school and not worry about something like this. Maybe during winter break, march break, or next summer?**</blockquote>
