If the sofware is from the 80s that is very good news, it means it runs on simpler hardware and the code will be simpler and easier to fix. Which is what made it viable for us to code in Assembly back in the 80s and early 90s with the same ease someone codes in c# nowadays. Coding in Assembly now is pure insanity.
Sure you could still write super ugly code but super ugly simple code is far better than super ugly complex code. Even if it comes with a forest of gotos.
