Yeah, the 11 was mesmerizing. You didn't need no stinkin' program to see how
busy the system was, you just checked the lights. You could really tell when
somebody was compiling or link/loading. As I've done many times since those
days, I am amazed how many users could be using the system

No. You can write in binary if you want. If I were going to do
something like that I'd pick a CPU like a PDP11 with

Grant's statements are correct and his advice is sound.
I would not waste my time writing machine code, even as a hobby (and not even
if your other hobbies include juggling chain saws). It's too time-consuming,
tedious, bug-prone, and eyeglass-prescription-enhancing.

You could go to
http://incolor.inetnebr.com/bill_r/computer_simulators.htm and get the
Altair 8800 or IMSAI 8080 emulator. Run the program and toggle in
binary code for these easy to use 8 bit processors.
There's a short manual for the IMSAI on the same page and the manual
