Description	C64 vs Speccy, which is best? The playground fight which still rages on in the minds of many adults will probably never be laid to rest. As expected, this very argument is currently ongoing in the WoS forums and has even spilt over into the Lemon64 forums, ouch! However, now you can make your own informed evaluation of each platform by trying out both systems within the same emulator session thanks to this C64 emulator entry. Furthermore, you can emulate a speccy within the emulated C64 and from within that again re-load the C64 emu ad-infinitum! So have plenty of fun as you flick back and forth between the two environments whilst making a thorough assessment and comparison of each. As for me, well I was always one computing generation behind everyone else so only had a ZX81 and VIC20 back in the day before upgrading to a rather funky Acorn Electron (nice!) By the time in the '90s I finally got my hands on a second hand Spectrum +2 and a second hand C64, nobody cared about 8-bit systems any more. But thankfully, they do again now, and clearly with more passion, dedication and loyalty than ever before!
Comments	The only score I could think of when judging this joke emu was 6.4. By that reckoning if Steve had've done a mock VIC-20 emulator instead then I might have scored it 2.0, potentially losing the compo. (You should have picked a TI-99!) This entry contrasts with some real emulators already in the compo. It's a quick'n'dirty fake emulator, but a welcome one nevertheless, no thrills, just a quick dig at the other organisation. Every CGC must have one like this in order to meet EU targets. So thanks to Sparkes that we met our quota for this year.
