As part of the parts pickup recently, I found a couple 6500 CPU chips. Until I looked them up, I didn't know that they even made 6500 chips. They were the original chips in the series that include the more famous 6502 and 6510 chips.

Does anybody know what games used these chips? Or if they are worth anything these days? Nobody seems to stock them so they seem pretty well extinct these days.

Its for embedded systems...

The R6500/13 consists of an enhanced 6502 CPU, an internal clock oscillator, an optional 256 byts of Read-Only Memory, 192 bytes of Random Access Memory (RAM) and versatile interface circuitry. The interface circuitry includes 2 16-bit programmable timer/counters, 32 bidirectional input/output lines, a full duplex serial I/O channel, ten interrupts, and bus expandability
 
That was the first thing I thought too, but that is a 64 pin package. These are standard 40 pin packages.

The markings are:
R6500/1P
R10A6-11
8236 [Rockwell symbol]

Just found something interesting, The R6500/1P is the 6500 instruction set CPU that is 6800 pinout compatible. It was sued out of existance almost immediately by Motorola. The 6502 was the successor chip. It runs the same instruction set, they just rearranged the pins to avoid getting sued again.

if that is the case, then yes, they are probably worth something to a collector of cpu chips.
 
A little googling reveals that they were apparently used in some 80s vintage synthisizers, and in Commodore 1520 plotters...
