Blame that H-11 that was my first hand-on exposure to a computer for

It's funny that the GI CP1600 never caught on--8 16-bit registers, R7 being
PC and R6 being the stack pointer, R4 and R5 being auto-increment and R0-R3
being general purpose. Very clean and easy to program. As far as I know,
the Activision game boxes were the only consumer products to use it.
