# 6502 Simulator Desktop Edition
One of the best systems to start learning Assembly is with the old but amazing 8-bit Commodore 64.
Thanks to [Nick Morgan](https://twitter.com/skilldrick), creator of the [Easy 6502 and Easy 6502 tutorial with simulator](http://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/), you can learn assembly very easily!
What would make it even easier is having your own Desktop 6502 Simulator to use. So to help make that happen
I went ahead and did exactly that. While I am not finished it is usable, and I plan to do whatever I can to
make it a great desktop app in the near future.
