CREEK & RIVER Co., Ltd. (C&R) will hold a free online seminar titled "Assembly Language Primer Learned from the 8-Bit Era: The Mechanics of Retro Game Development Starting from the Basics" on Thursday, April 23, for those interested in retro game development.

While high-quality games are widely enjoyed today, the opportunity to play retro games on modern consoles is also increasing. Nostalgic games played during childhood. Many who have become creators and engineers might desire to develop those retro games themselves.

For such individuals, C&R is hosting a seminar explaining Assembly language, which was commonly used in retro games.

Using representative game consoles from the 1980s as teaching materials, this seminar will gently explain the basic structure of how games operate, including CPU, registers, memory maps, sprites, and input processing. Focusing on "simple but logical movement creation" seen in sports games of that era, participants will also tackle practical work through mini-programming. If you are interested, please join us.
