Just wanted to note: this is in no way the original source code for the game. It's disassembled and commented source code.

Here is the repository owner explaining the process himself: https://github.com/Piddewitt/C64-Game-Source-Code

Nice work and interesting still, but maybe we can correct the title?

Ah didn't realize this, I just copied the title used in the GH repo. Too late for me to change the title, but maybe an admin will.
ehh, for these old games that's pretty close to the same thing.

A lot of old games were written in assembly. The difference between the disassembled and assembled code is/was pretty minimal.

What you ultimately lose out on is the comments and perhaps jump location names depending on the assembler.
