Really not bad. ### Did Forth\'s inventor Charles Moore really write a CAD program in only 5 lines of code? ### PCE - PC Emulator While it is called just "PC Emulator", it actually emulates 4 computers: Atari ST, IBM PC 5150/5160, Macintosh 128K/512k/512ke/Plus/SE/Classic, and Regnecentralen RC759 Piccoline. ### aappleby/metroboy: A repository of gate-level simulators and tools for the original Game Boy.
