The software program VICE (all caps), standing for "VersatIle Commodore Emulator", is an emulator for Commodore's 8-bit computers, running on Amiga, Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, Mac OS X, OS/2, Acorn RISC OS, and BeOS host machines. VICE is free software, released under the GNU General Public Licence.

Currently, VICE is one of the most widely-used emulators of the Commodore 8-bit microcomputers. Fact|date=September 2007 It is also one of the few usable Commodore emulators to exist on free *NIX platforms, and one of the first to be distributed under GNU GPL. It is available for most Linux distributions.

As of version 1.22, released August 11, 2007, VICE emulates the Commodore 64, the C128, the VIC-20, the Plus/4, and all the PET models including the CBM-II but excluding the 'non-standard' features of the SuperPET 9000. VICE for Microsoft Windows (Win32) is known as WinVICE, the OS/2 variant is called Vice/2, and the emulator running on BeOS is, not surprisingly, called BeVICE. WinVICE supports old-fashion digital joysticks via a parallel port driver, and, with a CatWeasel PCI card, is planned to perform hardware SID playback (requires optional SID chip installed in socket).
