CyberCube37:
thank you for this post. I am 16yrs old and im just in love with assembly language and old simple microprocessors and IC. when I get a little bit more experience i will definetly give it a try I dont like newer higher level languages and it would be awesome to learn things on something I already have like an arduino. If you have any suggestions where I could learn more and how to get started I would appreciate your suggestions
Thanks! I started programming on such a Soviet programmable micro calculator - Elektronika MK-61 - Wikipedia
Then there was ZX Spectrum... This project brings me back to my youth 
But enthusiasts do much more incredible things - a processor on TTL logic or even electromagnetic relays ("homebrew relay computers").
