It's honestly impressive how well Motorola 68000 assembly is both A) able to be manually reversed into C-like code, and B) understandable, even having never touched 68k ASM before in my life.

I'm not sure I really *love* any CPU architecture other than perhaps SPARC. But they all have their warts, even SPARC. Still, I appreciate how easy 68k is to reverse-engineer. I'd be up a creek without a paddle with regard to the CD-i's CDIC otherwise.
I could absolutely talk your ear off about SPARC, though. It's the closest thing to a perfect set of opcodes that I've ever seen. It's light and streamlined, with an abundance of synthetic opcodes that can be constructed from a relatively small handful of real instructions.

The whole register-windowing part of the SPARC architecture was hot garbage, but the IU's instruction set, at least, was absolutely beautiful.

I haven’t done SPARC assembly, just MIPS. I think the last time I did hardcore 68K reverse engineering was trying to get the 1.44M mode working on MAME’s SWIM chip in the Mac II driver.

At the moment I'm trying to reverse-engineer every function in the Philips CD-i 220/F2 player's BIOS that pertains to CDIC access. It's going rather well so far.
