Ever wanted to make your own game for an old console, or learn about low level programming?Enter the world of Assembly language, and learn new things about classic hardware!“Learn Multiplatform Assembly Programming… with ChibiAkumas” is an introduction to retro programming. It gives the essential technical information you'll need in a 'down to earth' style that will be more accessible to the average computer user.Covering the Z80, 6502, 68000, 8086 and early ARM CPUs, this book covers the terminology that relates to Assembly and classic hardware, an overview of the CPU and a list of the instruction set of that CPU, with clear simple descriptions. For each CPU we'll look at some simple examples for an emulated computer or console to get you started, with details of how to compile and run them though an emulator on your Windows PC!About the AuthorDeveloper of the 8 bit Multiplatform game ‘ChibiAkumas’, and creator of the Assembly programming tutorial You Tube channel of the same name, the Author of this book is a classic Assembly hobbyist who enjoys making new content for old systems. He aims to bring his passion for retro programming to audiences who had previously been put off by claims such as “Assembly is too hard, most people should just use C”, and to bring some fun along the way!

Wanted to learn Z80 assembly since highschool. This book works in tandem with Keith's website and YouTube channel to provide an incredibly comprehensive tutorial on Z80 (and other 8-bit architectures) assembly. If you want to learn asm of any of these stripes then you can't go wrong here.

A great read for sure.

Bought this in 2021 and finally figured it's time for a review.

The quality alone is pretty nice and it has over 250 pages more or less. I found out about this book from the author's YouTube channel where he goes over assembly and game development concepts such as bitmaps, tiles, sprites, nametables and way more for various platforms. There is numerous chips the author goes over, including the Z80, 6502, 68000, 8086, and ARM. This is a great introduction and even more advanced programmers will find good detail and even has source code and tools you can download from the website provided.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in getting involved with game development, or just computers in general. I also recommend his new book, which is the next volume where it goes over other CPU's such as the PDP-11, RISC-V, ARM Thumb, and more.

Well worth the price of admission!

An amazing resource for assembly programming

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021

I found this book and associated content including the online tutorials and videos to be an invaluable asset in my experience learning assembly programming. I found the vastness of knowledge to be the key aspect of the text. You can pick and choose what hardware you want to work with and be running binaries in no time. I highly recommend this book.

Really nice book to introduce some assembly concepts and an excellent instruction set reference for those of us who prefer to have that physically. I also highly suggest you also check out the Chibi Akumas website listed in the book! Lots of free resources, tutorials, and deeper looks into each architecture. The book is a mainstay on my desk, which is the highest praise I can give.

This one book takes the lace of five books, This book covers Z80, 6502, 68000, x86 and ARM.
This book makes multi-platform assembly programming a lot easer because I can cross refence different systems one one book.
This guy also has a youtube channel aswell.
I highly recomend buying the book.

Does what it says.

Gives you enough information to get you going in assembly by learning the common patterns common across most assembly languages and how they work. This allows you to start learning the instruction set for the processor you want to instruct.

Great print quality, pure love for retro-computing, nerdy nostalgia and computer archaeology

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021

Great print quality, I bought the physical copy. There's a lot of value for your nerdy, nostalgic cravings. It is a great introduction to low level programming, not only for hobbyists, but also for programmers looking for an academic exercise that will make them understand computers better.

This is THE book for learning assembly language

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

Want to really know how microcomputers work? Learning assembly language will teach you how and why. Those old processors got us to where we are now with computing. Much can be learned from them.

This book is a well-written step-by-step approach to knowing what does what and WHY. Using software tools that are inexpensive, and easy to learn, brings the subject into the reach of everyone. This book exceeded my expectations and quenches my thirst for knowledge.

Assuming nothing, the book leads the reader gently by the hand through the subject and provides an entertaining and informative path to success. You can then finally disassemble some of those old game favourites and discover the techniques used to overcome the hardware limitations of that era.

Like to noodle with hardware or software? This is the text for you. Check out the author's YouTube channel too. Grab a brew and a copy.

A wonderful book for budding retro-platform coders

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a marvelous book that makes what could potentially be a rather dry subject both interesting and enjoyable.

It's very well written and doesn't assume any prior knowledge, so it's great for a beginner in assembly such as myself. The illustrations are charming and well drawn and it's a beautifully laid out publication. At 270 pages, it's actually larger than I was expecting, but contains a mountain of knowledge within.

Focusing on the processors themselves, rather than going into detail on the retro computers that use them, this is a great programming book; although you will need other materials relevant to the platform that you're coding for to get the most out of it. I very highly recommend this book!

I love it but read other books too

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book claims to be for beginners but it does assume some knowledge, if I recall it uses hex in examples before it explains about hex for example. I totally recommend it but maybe read another book first, or certainly in conjunction with it so when you get stuck read that then come back to this. Plus, it's about machine language for several machines. Assembly is hard so you'll probably need three or more books anyway and I do love this book, just definitely don't expect this to be the only book you need.

Fantastic book for retro coding! Recommended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2021

After following quite a few of the author's youtube tube tutorials on Z80 assembly coding (ZX Spectrum) I was very excited to hear he had a book coming out, ordered and I am so happy to read through. I will be tackling some of the other processors later as well. The book is well laid out and easy to follow. Love the little cartoons. He mentions the Usborne books as an inspiration and I have to say, nailed it. Loved those as a kid as well.

Highly recommended!
