The first game is Human Resource Machine, originally released in 2015 by Tomorrow Corp. Still, they do capture the essence of assembly coding, with complex behaviors squeezed out of simple commands. They all use virtual systems with minimal instruction sets. To be clear, none of these titles involve writing assembly for real hardware. So I was surprised to find not one but three polished games that do a surprisingly good job of making coding in assembly language fun. True, directly manipulating the state of a computer can be powerful, but few people code in assembly by choice. You get branches, bytes, and if you’re lucky, a subtraction command. ![]() Where all the pretense of high-level languages-the program structures, the data handling, the wealth of functions-gets stripped away.
