  • Symbol question.svg Nominated four days after creation, and is about 1700 bytes, satisfying date and length criteria. QPQ completed. There are a few issues to resolve.

(Also, none of the sources specifically state "8-bit", though this is acceptable given Commodore's product lineup and the magazine's timeline.)
