Fair enough, with so little memory and such slow CPUs, that's the only way to get anything decent out of the hardware.īut then we got the 68000 machines like the Mac, Atari ST and Amiga, and the ARM Acorn Archimedes. What you hear a lot on those is how games on 8-bit home computers from the 1980s (let's be real: retro computing is 98% about games) were written in assembly.
There's just way too many retro computing channels on Youtube.
