6502 is also what the Terminator ran. We should thank our time traveler saviors for stopping the Furby uprising from happening.

I think we can assume that, given the complexity of a Terminator, the 6502 was just there for I/O, kind of like a BBC Micro with an ARM processor.

Or a Mac IIfx... "Wicked Fast".

"Kah bye-bye oo-bah koh-koh."

Tamagotchi also ran on the 6502.

Indeed! And there have been some truly heroic hacks of the little buggers!
