Making the polyglot was the easy part, definitely. I just thought it would be interesting to see if it would actually load and run on a C64.

By the way, a simple way to test it if you don't have a real C64 at hand is using the CCS64 emulator: Just drag and drop the .PRG file onto it.

Oh, it's cool. And clever. Part of my "disappointment" was that I hadn't thought through how simple it would be, and so was half expecting some crazy trickery.
