TIS-100 and Shenzen had that fun little bit of hacking using the docs. Or just fiddling with it and finding that one instruction that had enough of a side effect where it could let you shave off two other instructions. Where you could get that really fun rush of removing 1 cycle from something. It is a skill I do not get to use much anymore as most things are fairly cookie cutter.

Oh I'm definitely copying this idea!

As as assembly language enthusiast, TIS-100 is easily my #1 Zachtronics game. The closet contender would be... CoreWar. Seems like their implementations are rarely updated these days.

Robocode is also cool, but you code in Java instead of assembly, anyway.

Oh that's a hilarious great idea.

if you all like TIS-1000, play Exa Punks.
