[edit] Removing MegaChip?

As the MegaChip Simulator and Documentation is not available on the revival studios homepage and as there aren't any other MegaChip Simulators, the MegaChip part of the article should be removed imho. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.226.104.68 (talk) 13:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Community

Should there be a discussion about the hacker / hobbyist community that wrote a large number of CHIP-8 programs in the late 1970s? At one time there was a magazine, "VIPER" edited by Tom Swan. Swan also published "PIPs for VIPs" ("Pretty Impressive Programs") which included several CHIP-8 games and an ASCII Text Editor in 1802 assembly; in the 1990s he wrote a series of programming books.

I think that's a great idea. If those publications were online, we could simply link to them; maybe with a mini index? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.226.104.68 (talk) 14:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
