here's a free idea: RAM shortage jam, where you have to make a game for a system with low RAM capacity. like maybe less than 128mb or something

edit: OOM jam is a much better name than what i came up with https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/116362518081235814

@eniko "oom jam" has a nice ring to it

I had one program on the PDP 11 where to fit it into 64k data space I copied the argument and environment vectors out to a file until I needed to exec something, which got me an extra 1-4K for scratch space.

Ken Arnold's original Rogue ran on the PDP 11.
