"Creates a whole game in assembly" is probably referring to roller coaster tycoon, which was written by a man. (lots of other games were written in asm, like many NES games, but I'd wager RCT was what they were alluding to)

That was my immediate thought. There were many that came before RCT, but it has the distinction of being (possibly) one of the last in an industry that had already moved on to higher-level languages to do merely half as much.
