I don’t know if everyone gets the reference: RollerCoaster Tycoon is in fact writing mostly in assembly to use the hardware more efficiently

Writing it in assembly would make it pretty much the opposite of portable (not accounting for emulation), since you are directly giving instructions to a specific hardware and OS.

OpenRCT2 ditched assembly tho. They wrote it entirely in C++.

Sorry, two separate thoughts. Wasn’t saying open RCT used assembly just wanting to shout out the project.
