This isn't a flame, Thye Chean, but with proper design and decomposition
assembly is actually fairly easy to work with--provided you have the proper
mindset and don't go in screaming "it is impossible to write large programs
in assembly language!"  Most games have a few basic sprite routines which
are almost always written in assembly language (even if the game is written
in a high-level language).  Animation is simply done using tables and
very simple state machines.  This is done very easily in assembly language.
