LEARN ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING If you'd rather be one of the kids who writes professional quality arcade games than one who just plays them, learn  machine/assembly language programming.

WHAT COMPUTER? Everything in this book is for the Commodore 64. Youll get the right information for your computer; not everyone else's.

WHO'S THIS BOOK FOR? If you know BASIC and want to learn the fastest language in programming: this book is for you. (If you're an adult, tell them you got it for your nephew in Borneo.) This is an elementary book for learning to use assemblers and assembly/machine language programming on your Commodore 64.

WHICH ASSEMBLER? Three assemblers are fully covered, and most others for the Commodore 64 are compatible with all programs. Commodore's assembler, The Commodore 64 Macro Assembler Development System, is clearly explained with lots of examples. The Merlin assembler is clearly explained with lofs of examples. If you don’t have an assembler, there's a simple-to-learn and use listing of the Kids’ Assembler written in BASIC for you free in the book. The Kids' Assembler assembles programs for you, and it will help you learn about assembly/machine language programming.
