It was an 80's english computer that was inexpensive and was hugely popular specially in the UK and Spain. Since it was simply built there were countless clones specially in eastern europe. The computer never made it to the US.

Hmm, running a spectrum emulator on a windows pc, which is then running a dos environment emulator in which to run windows. A bit circular.

Well...common tunes on both systems use a very fast Appregio to simulate a chord as both chips were restricted to only 3 channels. So maybe thats why it sounds similar.
But the spectrum chip is only limited square and noise waveforms, where as the c64s SID Chip has an additional Ramp and Sawtooth waveform, so the tunes have a much broader sound (if they use them that is!)

Regarding the description: Keep in mind there are clones running at up to 20Mhz, as well as the "Turbosound FM" and "General Sound" cards ;)
Still not really comparable to a P1 in power, but very impressive for a spectrum.

why should there be any? The demo is designed so there won't be any.

For those who are doubting...that is definitely the sound of a 128K Spectrum, not a C64! |
