Assembler is much better approach, one gets to learn how the machines actually work (ignoring the microcoded part), and reach for something like a 8/16 bit computer emulator (ZX, C64, NES), or an Arduino like device with ARM/RISC-V.

Also the realization, C isn't that special, plenty of ways to play around with pointers.
