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.

If those publications were online, we should simply link to them; maybe with a mini index? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/195.226.104.68|195.226.104.68]] ([[User talk:195.226.104.68|talk]]) 14:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

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)[reply]

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.
