From marble to pixels, from columns to code
For thousands of years, Rome has been a place for visionaries, builders and storytellers. It is and remains a place of creativity.
Today, this tradition meets the Demoscene.
Rome shows that inspiration is timeless, whether carved in marble or written in code.
be inspired, be creative
ROMA.EXE is brought to you by: entropicrobi, friol, FRK, MBR/Razor1911, razdee/TRSI.
Here you will find the latest news about the party.
We celebrate creativity in every form, from low-level code magic to pixel-perfect artwork and music that pushes classic and modern hardware to its limits.
Our competitions cover a wide range of disciplines, inviting both newcomers and experienced sceners to share their work with the community.
Whether you're crafting graphics, composing music, designing a game or building a full demo, there's a category for you.
From text-mode wizardry to PETSCII madness - how far can you push?
Oldschool discipline meets modern attitude. One pixel off? We’ll notice.
Bring your gameplay, your weird ideas - or just break the rules entirely.
Make those channels dance - XOR the snare if you have to.
SID, VIC-II and raw determination - prove the old breadbox still owns the room.
Make Paula sing, bend the copperlist - and remind everyone who invented cool.
No assets, no mercy - just math, code, and pure scene flexing.
Your playground for everything too big, too loud, or too wild for any other category.
The timetable is still WIP.
