C compilers generated so bad code that games only started using it in home computers instead of Assembly during the mid-90's.

On workstations and mainframes there was hardly any difference to other heigher level system programming languages. In fact C prevented many compiler optimizations due to its aliasing and decay of arrays into pointers.

Amazing how few people remember that Fortran compilers always outperformed C compilers in the "bad old days".
