I am an avid video games fan (not just a computer chess fan or chess fan), and
the last statement you made is consistent with the comments of Matthew Perry
(from Shiny Entertainment, creator of the Earthworm Jim video game).

Matthew Perry said in an interview that anybody that wanted to get started
programming video games had to get an old computer, with an old compiler, and
try to become efficient and maximize the capabilities of the hardware.

Perry also made a recommendation to program in assembly whenever possible, but
I'm not sure that applies to chess.  Any thoguhts?
