It's a little amazing how much 6502 assembler sticks with me 35 years later.

But only a little. I didn't have the money to buy an assembler or the skill to write one so I would write out my programs in long-hand on graph paper and hand-assemble them before entering hex codes manually. While not the most efficient process, it did do a good job of encoding things into long-term memory.




Haha, yes, I can relate. I didn't do any 6502 coding for ~25 years and it mostly just stuck around. Apparently it's like riding a bike.

In the meantime I've forgotten most of the 68000 and z80 instruction sets.
