==CHIP-8==[[File:Chip8-Korruption.gif|frame|CHIP-8 Pong]]For the list below, '''CHIP-8Memory Mapped''' is an interpreted programming language developed by Joseph Weisbecker. It was first described in means that the December 1978 issue of Byte Magazine as console ''does'' attempt to map objects to a "hexidecimal interpreted bytecode" that was more compact memory system. This may include memory banks, video RAM, and other memory-efficient than BASIC interpreters based affordances. If the system is not memory mapped, then the physical layout of the time. The CHIP-8 bytecode runs in memory is not a virtual machine with a display resolution of 64x32 and 1 bit of color (on or off)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.
