Computer Archeology: disassembly notes for arcade games

Computer Archeology stores the markdown disassemblies and notes that its toolchain renders into the pages at computerarcheology.com. Assembly files stay in GitHub-flavored markdown, and a names-in-code pass links memory operands to named definitions. The README starts the renderer with py -m computerarcheology.carender.app.
