what were old videogames programmed in? nes, and supernes.

i was curious as if anyone knows what programming language were the old nes games like megaman x (x is any number), and supernintendo games like zelda a link to the past were programmed in? they had to have been programmed in something, well thats my opinion anyway.

They are now programmed in ShockWave and Java, here have some. (http://www.tripletsandus.com/80s/80s_games/arcade.htm)

I believe much of it was proprietary machine language, with functions hardwired in many cases.

my guess?

assembly.

ahh, my good version of somewhere i belong (ya know, linkin park?) just finished. adios.
