1979–1985

This was my first exposure to assembly language; I used it on the RML 380Z at school. I remember reading through the entire Zilog guide to Z80 and getting to the end thinking: is that it? So how do you write code? And then having figuring that out. Happy days. Having to move to 6502 for the BBC Micro was painful after the (relative) richness of Z80.

Used to know the op codes by heart.

I used this at University for coursework. I hated Z80, compared to 6502 it's just clunky. It's a shame it's style carried on into the X86 family.
