Porting my 1993 Amiga game to Godot, with an LLM reading the 68000 assembly

A developer used Claude to translate a 1993 Amiga game written in Baghdad into modern Godot code by having the LLM read raw 68000 assembly. The model successfully cross-referenced the logic, assembled the code to ensure byte-identity, and ported the core mechanics in a single evening. This highlights a massive shift in technical debt recovery and legacy software migration.
