Street Rod

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I guess you're talking to me, since Jelle hasn't said anything in this thread?

In any case...according to the website those games were written 10 years ago, so chances are they were probably written in C with some assembly language. I can't say that for certain, though. Determining the high-level language that a program was written in by looking at its executable file would probably be difficult, although I can't say I've ever tried to do it.

assembly language is a low-level programming language. It's not one specific language...it depends on the computer you're writing it for. Assembly language is complex, and people used to use it all the time whenever they needed their code to run fast. Nowadays, assembly language isn't used quite so often. It used to be that code written in assembly language would run much, much faster than anything a compiler could produce. That's not so much the case anymore.
