What makes the 68k processors so cool?

6502 is great and elegant but you need to make your own math subroutine libraries. With the games I help write at First Star software, we had to write our own routines for 16 and 32 bit math and looping for multiplication and division. Here the 6809 beats the 6502 because though they share many opcode, the 6809 had multiplication and division where the 6502 did not.

The X86 is very ugly. it scared me away from PC Programming.

I tried to learn 68K but could not wrap my head against a few "things" The 6502 spoiled me...

Taking the 68000 to the limit, in the Amiga of course. Full motion video!
