6502 Chip-8 emulator with built-in ROMs

This Chip-8 Emulator for the C64 has an embedded Chip-8 program library you can replace to create standalone Chip-8 programs for the C64.

Try the emulator and step through the Chip-8 programs, some are quite impressive.

Chip-8 has an interesting history as an interpreted programming language and VM developed by RCA Labs to teach programming through gamification by creating video games. Like Forth Chip-8 is designed to be more efficient than BASIC for Micros.

This guy looks like he was having a fun time programming in Chip-8 before many of us programmed in BASIC - has anyone written games in this fascinating language?
  
The COSMAC VIP Chip-8 programming manual is excellent:
