In my free time, i love to code things on old platforms such as Commodore 64 and Vectrex. I am about to explore new stuff, like Atari VCS or Intellivision. Someone else around who codes on such kind of platforms?

I don't, although I took a couple of Intel x86 assembly language classes in college. I thought it was fun. I haven't done any assembly coding since those classes though (I've used other languages in my jobs since then).

x86 is cool, but I think that if you start with 6502 it's better because you can handle it easier. Less opcodes, simpler processes and so on. And also you can work with some very cool machines of the past which required ASM necessarily to obtain serious results, and the nostalgia factor will motivate you more! I have coded and released some demos and crack intros for the Commodore64, and for some of them I have provided the source code as well. You can check it out at bitbucket.org/elder0010

That sounds interesting.

I thought x86 assembly was alright. I think my assembly classes in college taught x86 because Intel x86 is very common in the marketplace for business & home computers. They would adjust their curriculum so that students would have the most marketable job skills according to what the job market was looking for.

I should try assembly out oneday. Looks very fun and interesting.

I used to know assembler for several micros. Off the top of my head, they included:

8086/8088
8080
6809
6502 (limited)
PIC 16F84

Even know a few 8086 op codes in hex - for example, the jump to the PC's reset vector: EA 00 00 FF FF (JMP FFFF:0).


... My spelling? Oh, it's just line noise.
