Looks good to me. It would be very helpful if you could present the limitations in the form of a table: consoles on the top and the categories down the left.
Unfortunately this timing is the worst for me if you're planning to run the competition before April, but I'm looking forward to the results
@Matthew Wiese, I was actually thinking along the lines of one colour + black. Also keep in mind monochrome only benefits you if you make a Game engine portable game.
nah Fish20 i wasn't going to make it random. I was just going to see what people choose. By all means start now.
Err, wouldn't MMF2's locked groups be a perfect fit for something like this? Make a locked group that contains the "errors" (nim's 5 sprites per screen for example), and let people follow the directions we can't actually control like that (Screen Res, sound, control).

Please Don't make it random because in the real world the developers get to choose what system they want their games on.
