Tracers is 100% C. And it runs faster than I can keep up with. You can write a fairly complex, fast game in C. If you want to program something like the what psygnosis, bitmap brothers, random access, factor5 and others are putting out, with large bobs and lots of other stuff taking raster-time you will have to go assembly at least for part of the code.
