I enjoyed this one a lot!
Good games, fun and entertaining and a good sportsmanship. Well done!
May be 4 systems is a bit too much as it limits what games can be played, specially when the Atari 8-bit machines were a bit disconnected from the games that were originated on the speccy and the CPC; but I could be wrong. That's why in this "war" a lot of the games were really good on the Atari, because the other versions were ports of a successful Atari game.
Not that the end result matters, but I'm pleased that the CPC won and sad that the Speccy didn't have a chance to shine this time.
Cool, glad that you enjoyed it!
