Not to dismiss his achievement, but, why do people always think programming in assembly is ultra hard? This was just how we wrote games back in the day. I still know people using Assembly for a wide range of development, it's not particularly harder than any other programming. A bit tedious, yes, but with FASM and Fresh it's a lot better.

Most games written in assembly were not at the scale of Transport Tycoon, though.

Perhaps it's a matter of framing: it's hard compared to more high level languages, which don't need so much self-discipline.
