Last but not least the find of the week: also for friends of the four digits 6, 5, 0 and 2.

In 1984 Chip Morningstar was more or less fed up with low level assembly programming for the 6502. His idea: The development of a macro cross assembler as well as a linker, which should make the creation of working bytecode for games like Lucasfilm's Habitat much easier.

And he succeeded!

The ladies and gentlemen at The Video Game Museum have taken on the current source, and made sure that it compiles on at least 32-bit Mac architectures.

If you like to use the 6502 or one of its derivatives often, you will find Macross and Slinky a very interesting toolchain.
