] It does, but it's still more like a Z80 than a i8080. (For instance, the
] mnemonics are Zilog style, not Intel)
Mnemonics do not say anything about the processor type. The processor type is
only determined by the opcodes the processor can handle. The mnemonics are
there only for the human programmer. I think that by the time the gameboy was
designed, every programmer had gotten use to Z80 style mnemonics. So why
botter with intel style mnemonics...
