I have always wanted to get into assembly programming ever since I was a kid, growing up on those magazines with “listings” that you could type in to play games (something that I hope gets rekindled in the current era, on devices like the iPad with Swift Playgrounds; kids getting simple new games by literally typing in their source code.)

Then the Commodore 64 came along with its more complex features, and it got more intimidating. Decades later, I dabbled in GameBoy Advance homebrew for a very short while, but my life still feels incomplete without having made a ZX Spectrum game in assembly. I hope to get around to it one of these days.
