Summer news:
I've just discovered that the robot Bender of this cartoon-series works based on a 6502 uP chip 
See first part of season 1 episode 13.
This info in addition to Terminator 1 movie that clearly shows, on robot display, many 6502 statements (LDA, STA, JSR, etc.)
Any further similar info from you, pals?

Bender always seemed more of an Atari 2600 descendant
Hope I'm not being racist.

That's one of the few episodes of Futurama I actually watched.
I LMAO when I saw that. I think that was actually paying a little homage to the Terminator as well as being just a joke.
The Terminator image was a monitor dump on the Apple II if I remember right.
Can you imagine the number of lines of 6502 code required for that kind of AI. I wonder how they paged the RAM and ROM?

How did they get a battery to last that long is another point. We are still using the same batteries from 30 years ago and they still last no longer. Another government conspiracy thing I sure stopping the development of portable power...

Yeah, Terminator shows APPLE II code
DIENSTAGSTREFF has a section for "Famous C64 uses" and it lists Bender as well.
