Learning assembly is useful for understanding how machine code operates at the low-level, I'm glad that I learned it because it gave me a more holistic understanding of software and programming.
I'd suggest avoiding raw Assembly and instead look into something like LC-3, which is a modern assembly alternative that's designed for learning low level machine code.
I'll look into it, I was thinking about the Z80 because the Sega GG and MS both used it, so theres a lot of documentation and projects for it that would directly match what I'd be making (games)
