Even those Furby toys used a 6502 variant... with no Y register.

...when I heard that my Amiga 500 which I got later had an 6502 as keyboard

that causes so much fun to handle keyboard input only...

If a 6502 was sufficient to run the Terminator, then the chess developers of the time will have a challenging job explaining why they weren't able to build GM level chess computers with it!
