It also makes it really portable which is a big part of why all the ports to modern systems are so close to the original. Obligatory OpenRCT2 shoutout.

edit: This is not entirely correct, I was mistaken about my understanding of some things. Still check out openrct2

OpenRCT2 ditched assembly tho. They wrote it entirely in C++.

Sorry, two separate thoughts. Wasn’t saying open RCT used assembly just wanting to shout out the project.
