Korean outfit hosting 1.44MB game development contest to honor the floppy disk — entrants must confine entire fileset, including resources, engine, and library, to miniscule storage format

A Korean games culture site called 2P_Game_Arcade is hosting a game development contest where all entries must fit within 1.44MB — the capacity of a single HD floppy disk. The entire fileset, including game engine, libraries, and assets, must stay within this limit. Browser-based or streaming games are ineligible. Technology choices are otherwise unrestricted. The prize pool is ₩1.14 million (roughly $750), split among the top three entries. The contest closes September 4, 2026. The competition draws on the long tradition of demoscene size-coding challenges, where developers historically pushed creative and technical limits within extreme storage constraints.
