erm... most? I have to disagree with that - I'd say most commercial games (2d or 3d) are made in C++ with DirectX

Go back a few (10) years and they were made with assembly.

Psudo-Assembly, yeah. You'll need to get an interpreter/compiler. PCSpim is commonly used, just do a search for it and download.

Dont forget all OSes in the world begin with 512 Bytes of assembly language (The bootsector) This is before the fancy pants C++ or C

512 letters/chararters? That doesn't seem like much...

i used assembly at college for a while (and got a merit for the assignment )
anyway i thought it was built into dos so you could access it on any computer with dos (and xp dos shell?)

512 Bytes compiled they are much smaller when in binary form.
resb 0x1FE+$$-$
db 0x55, 0xAA
Will nicely round up your bootsector ;P

You can use the 'debug' program in XP and stuff, which is like Assembly, only worse (numbers instead of statements, for example)
gone fishin'

it was definitly assembly that we used.
ive still got the workbooks
infact i remember that to run our programs we had to use some old steam powered pcs because the other ones were too fast. (even though they were mostly 300 to 600mhz)
the programs flashed some leds on a board a few times yet it took about 10 minutes to type copy the stuff out of our books.

gizmo, what does resb 0x1FE+$$-$
db 0x55, 0xAA do excaly? does it start up the PC? And '0x1FE+$$-$' doesn't like any type of Hex I know of.

Its a nasm (Assembler compiler) specific code. (Nasm is used nearly always for all OS compiles) it basically tells it (After compiling, fill any space until its 512 bytes)
