==CHIP-8==For the list below, '''Memory Mapped'''means that the console 'CHIP-8'does'' is an interpreted programming language developed by Joseph Weisbeckerattempt to map objects to a memory system. It runs in a virtual machine with a display resolution of 64x32 This may include memory banks, video RAM, and 1 bit other memory-based affordances. If the system is not memory mapped, then the physical layout of color (on or off)memory is not a consideration for that console.
One of the first computers in add support To be considered for CHIP-8 as inclusion into this list, the COSMAC VIPfantasy console ''must'' have some sample demos, sold by RCA in the late 70s. This computer had even if a processor also made by RCA with a speed of about 1.77 MHz and 2 kB of RAM. The operating system contained a CHIP-8 interpreter that allowed the system to run games using the CHIP-8 languagefull game is not available.

A '''fantasy console''' is a console that has no physical implementation; it only exists as a virtual machine. Like programming languages, fantasy hardware is sometimes built for entertainment purposes. The idea has recently gained popularity as the retrocomputing movement has gained steam with the resurgence of 80s nostalgia.
