Description	Perhaps you've already enjoyed the delights of Advanced Loading Simulator by steve? Well, if you're a fan of that one, then you're sure to love this. Here we see the concept taken to a new level, with PURPLE loading bars in this version, although the author does in fact assure us that any similarity to other games is purely coincidental. This should be particularly welcomed by those people who have a pathological desire of anything purple. Those people certainly do exist as I once watched a serious documentary about such people, following them in their daily lives, and their ongoing pursuit of all things purple. It was erm... interesting!
Comments	I awarded 1.01 to Advanced Loading Simulator and lets be honest, this game demands an identical score, but I have felt kind enough to award an additional 0.09 points since I actually like purple myself. Even if it is an illusion caused by the rapidly fluctuating blue and magenta bands of colour. This was a close one, Bloodbaz in that at one stage, early in 2008 you almost lost the compo and potentially ended up hosting CSSCGC 2009. However, you were saved by steve. Such are the tiniest margins between the results of similar compo entries. (Edit in 2nd pass of judging: saved from this fate by Guesser, steve and ADJB!)
