After this article I've started binge watching this whole channel. Extreme in depth analysis and code walking of NES games in assembly is so interesting. Really makes you appreciate how small and simple the platform was. "Optimizing" a game really feels like a noticeable difference. I also learned how Gameshark codes work, they're just editing addresses and OP codes directly.
Not quite the same, but if you're into this stuff, I highly recommend the channels pannenkoek2012 and Retro Game Mechanics Explained. Both very in depth channels about Nintendo jank,
pannenkoek2012, the legendary half an A press guy! I watch a fair bit of retro game speedrunners so he's practically required viewing in that space.
