Commodore VIC-1001 (VIC-20)

[Japanese]
Although I bought it when I was a high school, since it was the model which does not almost have software, much program was made personally. The CPU(MPU) is called 6502, they will be PET-2001, AppleII, and Family Computer. Incidentally it is VIC. Video Interface Chip It is abbreviation. Seemingly it is the thing it is considered whether can do a personal computer by the employee of commodore discovering an interesting Video tip using this.

If it starts, it will start on such a toy like screen. But since one character was a square mostly, it was very convenient for PCG to define a character and to make a game.
