2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

GIME is/was a custom ASIC chip used in the Color Computer 3. It was designed by VLSI.
Known Versions
- PCB Prototypes - Implemented in discreet logic on the large PCB prototype units. Microware was known to have had at least two of these units, which today are in the collection of User:AllenHuffman.
- Pre-Production - Launch-title developers received early production run CoCo 3s that had pre-production GIME chips. At least two variations are known to exist. We need to catalog and document them here.
- 1986 - Code named "Tequila". This was the original production GIME. It contained some bugs that were fixed in a second revision.
- 1087 - Code named "Tortilla".
Emulations
- Software - The GIME is emulated in software in the various CoCo 3 emulators.
- FPGA - The GIME is recreated in virtual hardware in the FPGA systems.
Expansions
- GIME-X
