The first assembler I had to look at was PDP-11 code. 68k is kind of like a 32 bit PDP-11, easy to see what's happening. One of my very first paid tech jobs was maintaining an ST506 driver written in 68k asm by game hackers using self modifying code for no specific reason other than that's how they roll.
